The Cross-Spin

I don't know if anyone's mentioned this before, but I found out something cool when fooling around in practice mode just now.

When I played NBA 2k11, the Cross Spin gather was my favorite gather because I could combo that from spin move #5 and get an open jumper every time.
So I was surprised when I found out that apparently the cross spin from NBA 2k11 is still here in NBA 2k12, and now they're isomotion moves! The only thing you have to do is do a spin move, but from the opposite hand (non ball-hand). Example: when you're dribbling forward with your right hand, hold LT( in xbox 360 controller) and do a half circle motion with the left analog stick from left to right instead of the other way around like you would a regular spin move. Your guy will do a quick cross that transitions smoothly into your spin move. The animation varies depending on the spin move he has. For the NBA 2k11's Cross Spin exact animation, that's triggered by, incidentally, spin move #5. But other spin moves have their own cross-spin animations, with #6 being the nicest IMO .
This move is great when you're iso'd on offense, since it's quick and pretty deceptive. Try it out for yourself.
Hope this will be useful!

Nice find. I think I have done this on accident.

Do you mean the Hesitation to Spin Move in 2k12?

nope, instead of doing a spin move from ball hand to opposite, do it from free hand to ball hand. It's a very nice animation of a cross into a spin.

Found it out during the demo, nearly crapped myself, love it.

Yup, like what Jao said. It's not in the training camp/movelist in the game and I haven't heard it mentioned elsewhere so I figure I'd share it with folks who may not know about it yet, hope it increases your enjoyment of the game.

Ahh I see. I just tried it and it is a pretty cool move

spin 5 has the best cross to spin animation it goes between the legs then spins

what exactly happens here? i tried it.. but im not sure if that was it...

what happened was (assuming dribbling using right), it crossed to left first then spinned... was that it?

can any1 do a video?

it crossed to left first then spinned... was that it?

that's it, nice and simple

ow. haha... ok, got that... it is nice... let me try it in game.
