Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.

That is the way to go. The lead pass has worked for me a couple of times to get the big men to go the hoop, stay there if they are already in position or even make them turn around and get back to the position I need them in (alley-oops are even better than lead but the % you miss is pretty high). But the way to do what you were asking is to use the direct pass system. Honestly shpankey I use the R-bumper and pass icon 95% of the time. I have been playing like that for years. If you know the play your team is running and where the recieving player is going to be it's pretty much a perfect system. Plus I get to know all my players by appearance so I know that if I see Lebron posting up I know it's the X button. Once you get used to using the system properly you don't ever have to look for the icon you just hit R-bumper and the pass button a split second later.
Give that a try.
Are you planning on playing in our league this year??

sweet thanks. will do. my ony problem with that is having to NOT push the analog stick. that's a toughie for me. :/Truelize said:
oh, and i'm not sure yet. i still want to play the full version in a different view (i have a hard time in the side view and much prefer the Drive cam) and see what i think about the game at that point. it will also depend on how involved i am in the nhl2k7 league. i really don't like to play in a league unless i'm head over heals for a game (which is why i'm in nhl2k7, just awsomeness!). but i'm thinking yeah, if that's the case, and if you got a spot, i'd like to get in if i can.
though i'm betting getting my favorite team [Mavs] will be tough this year.

That had to be the PS2 or Xbox version, because that crap was fugly!!!!

Sounds like they added a bit of depth. The extra sliders, improved player cards, custom 24/7 moves, etc. all sound sweet. And the two camera views IGN talked about look interesting. I wonder if the coach's head shakes violently when the team doesn't perform, and if you'll see the players huddle around you during timeouts.
When does this release again?

I wouldnt say it was ugly but EA did a fine job of showing the least amount of gameplay flaws.

And there it is. :lol . I love how Morrison all of a sudden has extension in the replay but not in gameplay footage.
Dsal said:You mean when you personally don't play more than 2 games in a season? I don't think that's Konex's fault
I'm glad I didn't have to point that out. It's ridiculous how people who have serious problems with a game join a league, participate half-heartedly and blame others for dwindling interest in said league :lol
I just skimmed through the last couple pages of this thread and I noticed sphankey complaining about the passing and how your passes cause a wide open guy to move out of position and negate an easy shot.
was this not in 2k6? I just played a game of 2k6 the other day and it was one of the main things that pissed me off. I would pass to my big guy in the post and they would come out to the perimeter to catch the pass.
yes I was using RB+(LT,A,B,X,Y) to make the pass. I even mention to my cousin that I wondered if there was a way to avoid that happening but I dont play it enough.

that's what a few posters have been responding to. basically, they said what you have to do is do what you're doing, except let go of the analog stick when you do that direct pass; making sure to not push it in any direction when you pass. sucks i know, but they're saying it's not too bad once used to it. i'm still skeptical myself.... i don't like the idea of taking my thumb off the movement stick.hgplayer1 said:
also, and a more simple way, which works in the situation you describe [which is the one i described earlier] is to use the lead pass [B button]. that works when you got a guy under the basket, but as i pointed out earlier, doesn't work when a guy is open on the perimeter... because the B button leads the player towards the basket.

Good commercial actually. I like it.
And they really do hide the weaknesses. You don't want to show that game in motion

You did play 3 games not 2, I was off about that, sorry.
We did have others end up forfeiting some games, some of them out-of-forum people. Seems like we'll have a bigger group this year of in-forum people, so hopefully we'll have less forfeits.
LoL,I really didn't remember playin in any...I didn't buy 2k6 I don't think =\
I didn't even bother clicking the link,but the last one I remember playin in I quit because everyone was scoring 95% of their points in the paint,and really,who could be bothered with that?Now commence to roofles,because hey,we all know in the real NBA teams score 70 of 77 in the paint...

Players did not have their own signature shot animations last year at all. Not a single player had a signature animation in the game. Now most of them do and you think everyone looks like a 14 year old?? What? I have seen so many new signature animations in this demo it's mind boggling. Antoine Walker has his push shot, Shaq's jump hook, Dwade's pullup, Walker's layups (he doesn't jump much, just flicks it up quickly), Dirk's jumper is perfect, Terry's high release (almost looks like he's leaning a bit). I can't really comment on the rest cause I just keep using the main players so can stare in amazement on how lifelike their shots are. Pump faking is done by tapping the shot stick up quickly and it works very well if you have the advantage - ei. Wade VS Harris. Harris goes for the fake every now and then. And if you fake in transition and with the flow of the game it works for everyone. I didn't notice Dwade being slow at all, but Dwade doesn't play a sprint game. I've been able to get the ball at half court and disect the defense with crossovers, spin moves and pro-hops that end with beautiful pullups.
I really don't see how you could have played this demo and had those opinions man. Doesn't make any sense.
Couple of other cool things I've seen. Shaq doing his little crouch and chest pump after a dunk, Shaq pulling a perfect drop step dunk on me when I was the Mavs and I'm not 100% positive cause there is no replay option in the demo but I swear I saw Walker doing the shimmy after a score. I so hope that happens.

Come on and take my bet Ramirez, you scarrrrd? :lol
I didn't like this game initially, but it's damn well growing on me. I didn't even think I would give it a chance after the first play around, but I hungered for a basketball game! The gameplay has improved, but I'm going to have to agree with some of the people in this thread about the player models not taking a step in the right direction. There have been things added graphicswise that are a huge improvement like individual character animations. I haven't been excited over a basketball game in years (even though I love the sport). I hope the little problems are ironed out in the final version. I can't wait.

Yeah if you happen to see him in a cutscene it's very noticable.
Here's a sweet vid.
For anyone that thinks that everyone's shot is the same watch this one. Baffling
