any 2k9 tips for spurs??

bestpfinthegame21, your so right. I use to use the shot stick on every play, but wtih Tony, and Manu I use the X button. I can ezly get 25pts with Tony. And its opens the game for everyone else if you pass once the defense commits to Tony! You will have the D doing this

wow, you guys can't score with Tony?
You know you can iso?
Just iso him on a side and spin move on your defender = open lane to the basket. either you score or it's an assist because the help defender came quick enough.
But usually I play a lot of pnr with Manu or Tony calling Timmy.
Or play 4down. Call for a player on the low block (you know the guy who is the best PF ever), give him the ball and iso. It's basically the four down play.
Once one of these guy is hot, just pass wisely through double teams for the open man.
Spurs ball

Yeah using X gets some great animations w\ Tony and Manu....up and unders, and "Manu-esque" lay ups. Sometimes using the stick gets you stuck in a certain animation and you usually miss.

Any tips on changing a created player's Loyalty or Ambition in 2k9? I created George Hill for Assoc. mode and he's not loyal which makes it hard to keep after his contract expires

Afaik you can't change loyality. Only way to resign him is giving him starter minutes. and btw. if you have an internet connectionon your console or if you playon pc just reset the rosters once you downloaded theofficial patch - hill is thenonthe spurs roster with portrait and cf.

I always use stick for layins, it is actually the opposite of what you just said IMO - 'x' i use for spot up shooting, while stick for every move around the basket. Moving it different ways gives you obvious lanes to the basket x just couldn't - like if you're on the right side of the court doiing a fast break and a defender is waiting, there's nothing better than waiting for them to go into charge position, then moving the shotstick to the left and the (opposite) side of the rim to easily run around them for a dunk or easy layup. You can often do many moves people don't even know exist by simply using shotstick.

Actually your right.
The stick is for positioning EXACTLY where you want to lay in the ball. The problem is I play on the broadcast camera angle, so its a little harder to gauge in the middle of a drive to the basket IMO. Now on 2k angle, its a little bit easier. X also gets more foul calls for me also. It seems when your using the stick you avoid contact to make the lay in. Either way works though, cant go wrong..
