Hopefully the next blog will be in-depth about the controls for passing

sweeeeeeeeeet...I just really want the receiver to move fast and look like he's scrambling and trying hard to get open and get to his spot. I don't want a situation where I would've had a wide open shot or layup, but I missed the scoring opportunity because the receiver just moved slower than he should.

This would be sweet with guys like Rip Hamilton

Hey Beluba - when using this "lead passing/receiver control" can you make the receiver really explode from a standing position to make a quick cut to the hoop (similar to how a ball handler can explode with a sudden burst of speed to beat his man)? I just really want this thing to work how it should.

For example: if I have a guy who is in the corner, and I want him to quickly cut to the hoop along the baseline for a layup...can I make him just explode to the rim as fast as he can to get the open layup, or will he slowly accelerate? because in real life, players use these sudden bursts of speed, jukes, and quick changes of direction when moving without the ball to get to open spots and lose their defender.

In a perfect world I imagine you could used the left stick to perform jukes, quick directional changes, and sudden bursts of speed to fake out your man and lose your defender. like if i quickly flick the left stick back and forth, my man will juke and change direction very quickly. or if i quickly flick the left stick all the way to the left in a strong motion, the receiver will explode and accelerate instantly to the left...but if i just slowly move the directional stick to the left, the receiver will slowly move in that direction as opposed to "exlploding." this is how I imagine this receiver control could work if done right...please tell me it's this good.

This looks to be a better game this year. However, it will be hard to win me over from NBA 2K9. I used to be all NBA Live series until 2005 & then I switched to NBA 2K. It would take a lot to make me switch back too. Thanks!
