Great read 4sure though. The user can choose layup hand and dunk hand on shot by holding in the top left or right quad on the shor stick, but I get your feedback around driving. Good stuff as usual OS.

I said it on another thread...But for me, The fun factor is what brings me back to this game now. The quirks and comments mentioned in the article are mostly legit. I really just don't care I guess. Fun factor comes first for me. Not so much realism. I never liked Gran Turismo and I loved Burnout and Need for Speed. If that tells you anything. NBA Live is back. IMO. Peace.

You can definitely dunk with the shot stick, and choose left and right layups. You can even do spin dunks with the stick.

You can also use a plethora of post moves using the square button, tapping and pushing the directional stick to help guide your move.

Yeah, I got to get the post moves down. I wish EA would list all the controls in the game. They don't list the timeout button, many of the post moves are unlisted as well.

The game is definitely fun and highly addictive. The game plays great also and is well balanced for head to head. This is why i wish for separate tweaks for offline and online.

You have to be careful with your passes or you can have a turnover easily against a human opponent. The defense can block and alter drives to the rim if users try to abuse going to the paint.

Dunks and layup animations can be blocked if you quickly switch to a player near the rim if the opponent gets past your on ball defense. The on ball defense is rewarding to stop opponents momentum and make them pass or pick up their dribble. This allows for more touches and forces other players to be involved offensively.

You can mix up the offense with mid range, 3 pointers, post play when playing a human opponent because of human error.

I hope sports games developers can tweak things separately instead of universal where if you fix something for offline vs the cpu in a patch it could take away from the balance of head to head. I have seen this happen in many of the sports games.
