I'm also loving that we can choose either hand we want to steal with. Its a cool feeling when you can guess how a player is going to move and strip him, then go to the other for a slam.

On offense I'm still trying to figure out the dribble system when tryin to beat my man. The times I've been able to get past my man are when I had separation and tried to use his momentum against him.

I gotta keep workin on it but I think I'll figure it out eventually. The post game is pretty fun to use if you take the time to learn some of the moves. Overall the shooting is working me I'm loving shots close to the basket like layups, but jumpers are killing me I'm missin everything still lol!

I can't seem to knock down a lot of shots. I'm missing all kinds of way airballed a few shots and bricked many. The hard thing about it is in game shots are a lot harder without the shot indicator. Even though I can see how I missed it I'm still not sure if I'm putting enough power on the shot or not.

I'm going to keep playing around with it b/c I think I'll figure it out. Overall my best bets right now is to play lock down D and post up on the other end with Pau.

Now for the negatives for all the nice things I'm feeling with the controls they are looking terrible on screen LOL! The blocked shots look funky as hell and some of my steals have been a lil WTF!! sometimes.

I'm looking past a lot of it because the control is a lot of fun to use, but I can see how this is going to turn off a lot of guys. Overall the game has been a lot of fun to play but it looks downright ugly a lot of times. Contextual animations are going to need a lot of work next year for sure.

So basically I would say the game is a lot of fun for me to play but it loses a lot of points due to animations. Right now I'm going to give the game 7.0 because it is fun for me to play but the genericness of it isn't good at all.

Back to playing the game for me....
I thought i had the dribble moves figured out and how to get past someone but i jumped the gun in saying that. it only lasted a few games and then after that it was back to fisher being stuck on me and rondo like glue. At times i can break his ankles but half the time its like i cant go nowhere

I think everyone that is enjoying the demo agree that things like crazy and weird at times but its fun to play

i have been messing around with kg in the post.
I will tap the r stick to the left or right and he does a little shimmy,

if you press r stick either way he spins that way if you,

if you do the layup motion from the post you get a hook shot either way,

if you push up he does a turnaround, and tapping up gives you a pump fake up and under

and if you tap L2 and push the left stick in a certain direction you get a hop step in that direction
