- "Dirtier Paint Play "
- Better footwork
- more time revamping 50-50/ Loose balls !

Holding this button down gives you control of the targeted pass recipient, allow you to steer them behind the ball handler for a hand-off or cut aggressively to the basket. Releasing the button then releases the pass. " This reminds me of give and go, you could steer the player to cut/pop/flare ect... Or is this something entirely new? I need to see how this works, but for now looks like give and go function.

Well what i understand and what is different from what you say is in your instances you control the reciever but here you control the passer fundamentally.

Btw thanks for the link Dirk, very good read.

So instead of having the whole defense being dumb (nba2k17) we now have a select few with low defensive IQ?

I'm ready for virtual Shaqtin the fool highlights.
