NBA 2K11 Controls Trailer
I’m a PS3 guy myself, but the player control functions demonstrated on the Xbox 360 still look pretty ridiculous. Not only can you cross fools over at will, but you can also pull off behind the back dribble moves, in and outs and you can attack the bucket with your players signature gather move.
