Yeah, I wish we could just manually advance through the steps. It would make things a lot easier.

Its tuff to give an answer here that fits all the different perceptions people have about control. So as an example of my control tastes. I felt like 2k8 has the most "realistic" and best control of the 2k series.

With that as my personal standard 2k11 exceed that by a descent amount for me. In fact when you combine the smoothness of the transition between animations in addition to responsiveness then no other 2k game holds a candle to it.

If you found controls in any 2k game to be bearable then I can't see you not thinking this is a marked improvement. The thing is most of us are so used to watching the animations we freeze once they start.

Happened to me a lot until I started to remember I can still work in those situations. Its funny how my body automatically was used to watching instead of playing during those instances.

A lot of people are making assumptions on 2k controls based on 2k9 and 2k10. Those games were abberations to the progress made in 2k8. TO ME it seems like 2k11 is built on top of 2k8's solid base. Just my opinion that is not what literally happened.....

they are not broken as easily. IMHO the execution and design is much tighter.

NBA 2K8 is the best 2k game I've ever played and 2nd to Inside Drive:04 when it comes to my favorite basketball games. You've got me excited Czar, I cant wait.

okay how about this. For me i prefer lives controls over 2k's, but seeing how 2k's controls are different this year, would a guy like me who prefered live in the past, find this new control scheme to be similar?

from the insights and info, its seems a lot fo the great mechanics mike wang put into live last year have been migrating to 2k.

ie the total control passign with theright stick. and the truly user controllable leaners, runners, and step back jumpers etc.

those were two of my fav features of live 10, and for them to be in a more refined and realistic gameplay engine like 2k, i am very excited.
