Ray, I think a lot of the effectiveness in these sizeup moves depends on the player using them and the defender. If Kobe is guarded by Quentin Richardson, he'll be at an advantage and abuse him quite often. Not saying it will happen EVERY time because then there's a problem. 75% of the time, Kobe will get to his spot and score. When he's guarded by someone like Bowen or a well-known defender - there's more of a chance of stopping it or containing it. This gives the user much more control of the game and the ability to play 1-on-1 ISOs which happens quite often with superstar players. I love the feature and can't wait to use it.

If they happen to guess right or simply give you a ton of space to stop the drive, they can defend you well... but all the size-up moves make it tough to know which way you're driving. That's the advantage of using size-up moves as opposed to just standing there stationary and then driving to the hoop, using an RS move, etc. I don't think it's anything more than that. And then to counter the effectiveness, the defender has an easier time ripping the ball the longer the ball-handler sits there playing with it. I'm really not worried about the mechanic, especially on higher difficulty levels. I'm sure this was on Rookie/Pro again to capture the dribble moves for the video.

I wish Mike would have worded it like that if it really is like that... =/

Those superstars can do those things and get by defenders better than others. Drose lebron kobe and wade they can beat almost anybody from an iso set. Thats probably why theyve only showed them doing it not everyone can do those moves to get by defenders so im sure not every point guard in the game is gunna kill you like in 09.

Anyways i have a question, i see the size ups but where are the quickstrikes accuring? Is it when drose starts to move forward and does a step back move? What moves are we able to do with the quickstrikes i just keep seeing the sizeups?

After watching more, I really like the fluidity of D-Roses dribble moves in the first video. There is almost no hitch in between moves and they all seem to compliment eachother. Definitely the best I've seen in any basketball game.

Good Work EA
