I think what he is asking is if players who are signed to Under Armour (Kemba Walker and Brandon Jennings) will have on under armour and if it can be used on other players.

I hope they don't change the ball handling to much. Ah the post moves needed a tune up.

I personally wouldn't mind a chunk of more animations. I feel like I can think of all the types of alley-oop finishes in my head available in 2K. Also, I think signature alley-oop finishes would be an achievable step at some point. So, while I think I'm cool with the way alley-oops are executed in 2K (except for the absence of alleys during offensive sets), I do think 2K could beef up on the animations even more than they already have. It kind of reminds me of the retro jersey thing. 2K has stepped their retro selection up a lot in recent years, but I think it could still go further. It feels greedy, but I don't mean it in such a way. My intent is to be constructive.

I thought I could too, then I saw one today I've never seen. And I've played this game every day since release, like a lot of us. But I do agree with you to a certain extent. I think the alleys are fine, but they could be better.
