Yeah, I saw that video in one of their insights when they were marketing the game before release.
The point being that you still have to memorize all those moves which I haven't quite managed to do yet. Although their iso-controls are a lot better now. I don't even remember how to knowingly do a crossover in NBA 2K10, for example.

loving it atm. Getting to grips with the MyPlayer mode after a poor draft combine, summer camp and opening D-League games. Starting to play much better now consistently finnishing with a C+ to B rating. Only criticism is that your player is far too underated which makes it alot more difficult, dont see my player making the NBA atleast until next season. The Jordan challenges are fantastic btw.

Burnsy, what player type are you?
I luckily managed to get drafted second round, 5th pick by the Nets. But the Nets sucked. Luckily I was playing well and moved into the rotation as the sixth man by about 7-8 games so was able to get a trade request approved. Now I'm playing for the Jazz and it's a lot easier since they actually play as a team and I can get assists since open guys hit jumpers unlike the Nets where they miss wide-open shots.

Shooting Guard. Was hoping to create the next MJ but thats not gunna happen anytime soon. Drafted like 18th 2nd round to Bucks and now playing for the Jam in the D-League. Are you playing in the NBA already? how long did it take to get there if you are?

I made the cut in training camp. Don't know how you didn't make the cut with the Bobcats--you must be pretty bad... haha jk. Did you play NBA 2K10? I played 2K10 so I had a fair idea of what needs to be done in My Player.
First things I'd increase as an SG is shooting in traffic, layups and mid-range shots. Stay away from increasing the three pointer for now. Next would be quickness and speed but these are typically more expensive.
In 2K10 I never actually successfully made the move from D-League to NBA so I don't know how much time I'd invest playing in the D-League. Personally, I'd use the D-League games to get a hang for the game and your jump shot and then start a new career and try to make the cut from training camp.
Let me know if you need any other tips and good luck!

no haven't bought any NBA game since NBA 2k6 
. Played another D-League game since posting yesterday and after 11 games I was signed up to the Suns on a 10 day contract. Yeah those 3 have been what I have improved the most and a slight increase in Dunk. Currently 43 rated. Really need to improve my FG% hitting on 22% at the moment and PPG is around 9-10.

You should link up your gamertag/PSN to a 2K sports account so that you can link to your profile page.
For example, here's my player profile page.
I'm an overall 51 right now and am averaging around 14 points a game. I would really turn on the shot feedback in-game if you haven't already as it will let you know if your shot release is correct or wrong. It seems weird that you would miss > 75% of your shots as an SG unless you're shooting a lot of contested shots.

I do shoot a few contested shots but if i hit the rest of my shots it would be 50+ easily. Unfortunately I miss alot of layup chances just cant get the timing right often enough. I take a fair few from the Free-Throw line and score alot when open from the top of the key. Don't have an xbox live account and no internet connection for the xbox unfortunately. Now signed with Suns for the rest of the season and had my best game so far with 15 points 3 Assists 6 Rebounds and a 75 FG% managing to beat the lakers. Up to .395 now is my overall FG%.
edit: played another game and took apart the knicks getting player of the game. 26 points easily my best and my first A grade match scoring the winning basket with 0.7 seconds to spare. Also got 106 points now after 10 games 10.6 PPG and up to 46 FG% now. got my layup to 82 so hopefully will start sinking them more often.

Nice. Yep it's always harder at the start. Looks like you're on your way to displacing J-Rich. 
I'm hoping to replace Deron Williams in maybe another 5-10 games.

yeah J-Rich has done nothing for us this season probably contributing to why we are bottom of the table. Hopefully keep going and become the next MJ. still havent had the jordan contract although the insider did mention it. Hopefully get Nash his ring next season. 2 runs on the bounce with 2 good performances now hopefully we keep it going aslong as i play well haha. Really enjoying this game but have heard a number of people slag it off elsewhere. Might start a story with it at some point.
