Shooto have you read through the book and stuff? I'm sure they go in depth about how the passin game works. Give it time and play a two player game, even if you aren't playing with another person. That way you can mess around till you figure things right. But read the little book that cam with the game if you haven't already.
Oh, and if you think Halo is easy, try that shit on 'Lengendary'! Good luck.
NBA2k2 and Street are both sweet games. It just depends on what you want in a game . Street is was more like NBA Jam, its not a simulator, where as 2k2 is full on, 5 on 5, sim style, fouls and penelties and everything (although you can turn them off). Street is simpler and easier for anyone to pick up.
