in a real basketball game, a hop is something that is very very difficult to pull of. I like the 'hop' in live better because you actually have to take into account where the defensive players. In the competition game, you could dribble close to the paint, pro hop and the player would spin a foot or two closer or hop a foot or two closer - without regard of the defensive player. It just creates a set of canned animations.

I think the live control scheme is more intuitive and awards higher awareness.

The thing, you don't have full control over the hop. In my experience you can't pull it off how you'd like. I can't drive the lane, pro-hop and dish off when the D comes over.

If you turned down the effectiveness in Live '05 it wasn't that big an issue. There's a way to balance it and still reward the user for getting to the hole.

agreed.

any tips on icon passing? it seems like its a slight lag when using icon passing?

[Pared]

I said the same thing. Tap the button. The pass doesn't register until you release.

It's to allow you to control any player off the ball if you hold the player icon and release LT.

Being a basketball player I hop step all the time and it feels like a missing control piece to me.

I'm also trying to consistently pull off spins but I'm having a hard time right now.

while moving forward, press up on the right stick for a spin move.

I will admit that despite still liking 2k more at this point overall, I do happen to favor the right stick controls a heck of a lot more. Seems like I am totally in control. Sometimes on 2k I feel like I'm doing what I want but to a certain extent.
