What's wrong with Kobe's shot?

Its hard for some people like me, I mean I am a huge Lakers and Kobe fan but the last 3 or 4 years I have not been able to get Kobe's shot down to a science. I can get Lebron's and Kevin Martin's shot down, but not Kobe. Some game you have to hold down the x button other times its little quicker. Too inconsistant.

The ONLY thing I heard/seen from today's info that I dont like is that the insider team seems to be a huge Laker/Kobe fan/s... I dont want my info Lakers heavy and cant stand Kobe (like most people from Philly). I hope this guy/s aren't going to just give us their biased opinions all year long on why Lakers should win and how great Kobe is.

Everything else looked great. Love what I see so far from the Association, it looks like I can actually stay connected to the rest of the league this year.

Was there any mentions of created team upgrades. I LOVE my Nuggets but I would like to build my squad from the ground up.

What are you talking about the insider wasn't on the podcast. Kobe was just a player that was used as an example to explain some of the new features.

Breaking News: my jaw has just dropped all the way down to the floor, and my nervous system is now in a state of shock.

This is amazing... 20 days away, baby. I don't know how I'll hold up, now that I've seen all of this. Wow.

But while the 2K Insider can take away, he can also give. If Deron Williams continues his success of last season or O.J. Mayo begins to dominate during his maiden campaign in the NBA, you can expect to see not just attribute bonuses but actual new animations available to that player as the season progresses. These new animation packages will be mo-capped, produced, and added during the course of the season by 2K devs and added to deserving players who have excelled during the season (or perhaps even developed a new signature move). In other words, this is new content developed during and relevant to the 2008/09 NBA season, not merely unlockable animation packages that are already in the game.

OH...MY.....GOD!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I thought you meant you had a problem with the actual animation, its damn near spot on IMO.

I just hope the "living" rosters are updated as often as they say and the actually ADD NEW PLAYERS. This is my biggest gripe with 2k basketball.

PS: I know you can make your own rosters/trades but NOT for online play.

Im not talking about the podcast, Im talking about the blog photo.

Yeah, hopefully they've got some sort of tool to add missing players (finally), so that if another Jamario Moon-type blows up out of nowhere, we'll have him in the game. I don't really care if it looks completely like the player either.

I just hope you dont need a hard drive for these animations or im in trouble
