Toper,

Here's some of my observations that I made in a previous post:

"Actually, I like the shot stick and try to use it as much as possible and always use the right analog stick on defense. What I don't like in the postup game is that you used to be able to hold down L1 to post someone up and just release it and press towards the basket to spin off the defender and drive to the hoop. Now you need to press a button sequence to do the same thing and it just doesn't feel natural.

Also, now that the L1 button is used as both a modifier for Isomation and turbo, your player starts moving in the direction you push on the analog stick even when you're just trying to perform an Isomotion move like a crossover. It's not a game-killer, but has prevented me from using Isomation on a regular basis."

The frame rate seems to take a hit when playing in progressive mode too. Also, I hate that they removed the defensive crouch button, but I hear that has made a return in CH 2K6. I'll post some more soon.

I was beginning to think that I was the only one that didn't like the post up game. I also agree that Freestyle is better Isomation.

It's a shame that VC didn't out the defensive crouch in the PS2 and Xbox versions of NBA 2K6, but at least they now know that people like it.
