    haha oh man 2k out did themselves! Did you like how smooth the shooting is now? From reading the previews it sounds like its going to be fun shooting with the new momentum.

      - Yes but I feel that the slashers were a step slow.

      - That was a little hit or miss. I felt there were a few breaks where the wrong pass was thrown. Could have been a control issue on my part.

      - Yes. on the 3-1, the D would force me to make a decision by guarding the player with the ball. I forced a few shots by not passing at the right moment.

          Yes, walk up anims are in the game. No more hunch back anime.

            Can I do one more question lol?

            How did the dribbling feel this year? Does it take up less space as they said? Did Westbrook feel like an actual force driving to the rim? How are the finishes at the rim (contact layups)? Do any of them seem Rose-esque?

              Is the Combine and such still there? Or did the College Game replace it?

              Secondly, how did the pull up J's feel? Did it feel sluggish/clunky?
              No combine.

              Felt better still not as quick as I want them but not as sluggish as last year.

                How much different is the post game besides it being changed to the Y button, like do you still hold LT to pull off the up and unders and the double shimmys ?

                  Shooting was fun. I loved playing with Durant and using his various anims from his shooting motion, layup anims and post game.

                        You said no Combine so the College All-Star game is the only time you get to display on court skills? Are playing in the College All-Star game and your GM interviews what decided you being drafted, or are there like drills and scrimmages to test your mettle?

                            Thanks for sharing your impressions Aaron.
                            I've heard alot of great things regarding gameplay improvments,as well as presentation upgrades.
                            The one thing nobody's touched upon yet is audio improvments.
                            Would you care to elaborate on the audio side of things, such as better crowd responses, more arena specific sounds .ect.....

                            Once again thanks for doing this.

                              Much better but I'll be honest I didn't have a huge problem with last yr.'s game. The momentum does make you feel more in control of your player this yr.

                                Did not try enough dribble moves to actually test this out.
