This is not true. Cousy made a brief comeback with the Cincinnati Royals in I think either 69 or 70.

Anybody know who drafted him without looking?

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)

Guys wait for the insight to give you the total control scheme. Using the Y button for post up becomes second nature after you use it for awhile and makes sense with the rest of the controls.

Since they didn't say anything to the guys playing the game I assume that means they want to wait until the insight to tell you more about the games controls.

I found the controls to be the best in the series so far in my opinion. Some may not like it but the control offered in a 2k game to me has no equal( IE the best in the 2k series).

The other positive about the button press is that you don't have to hold it like you held the triggers. It also makes for seemless transition from your faceup game to your back to the basket game including spins out of it.

Think of the controls as evolving from last year as opposed to staying static.

I don't think you had to hold the triggers last year after initiating the post up. Once you were in, you could just hold one trigger or the other.

hop step needs to go ASAP. play online and watch how many weak players hopstep all game to get a layup under the rim

It's pretty unlike 2K to completely remove a mechanic, so I assume it's still in there as another button. Again, I am not a big hopstep/sig gather guy -- try to stick to the sticks whenever possible -- so I'm not sure where it might be or what. All I know is it seems you can post up from further away by pressing Y this year.

OK, thanks. I guess it's a little "surprise" that will wait for me when I get a chance to play it (unless 2K have plans to tell us about it any time soon).

Re: NBA 2K12 Preview (Part One)

When 2K first introduced the Shot Stick, I knew I would I love it as soon as I read about it. I didn't even have to have hands on to be sure. I had an intuitive sense of it being a perfect design decision, for me at least.

I feel the same way about posting up being on the "Y" button. I can already tell that it just works for me.

wrong...the hopstep needs to be included in the game. it's a move that is used in the NBA on a regular basis...to not include one of the most common moves in basketball would be ridiculous.

the mistake they made in 2k11 was that the hopstep button was completely uninterruptable..meaning, if your opponent performed it, the game would automatically make your defender move out of the way and prevent you from cutting off the hopstep..

the solution is not to remove it...the solution is to just make the hopstep less powerful and actually allow defenders to prevent the hopstep animation with body contact and proper positioning.

Precisely. That under the rim layup he pulled off that you ALWAYS see was only possibly because he could easily palm the ball. Looks like they'll have him cupping the ball which just isn't the same move, but close enough I suppose.
