NBA 2K11 at E3: The Death of Isomotion

[WTF]

If they'd go back to the feel of isomotion from games past, like 2k7 and 2k8, then I would be a happy camper. The responsiveness that you felt from those games was excellent, and those are the last games that I felt "in control" of what I wanted to do with the rock.

There was no question on what I was going to perform, I made the movement on the L stick, and the right move was performed. It feels like all of that has been lost the past couple of renditions, and has went for more of a "press certain button combo's" and watch move play out.

Hopefully they can just take it back to the old responsive way of handling the rock. I just want an intuitive system that is responsive. Not a lot to ask for. Make it happen 2k.

Great post- 100% agree. That should be 2k's biggest concern- making it responsive.

As someone said a few posts up, even with 2k10's Isomotion you can still go behind the back 24/7, so how would an "easier" system, like Live's for example, make cheesing worse? Really people, please stop prioritizing "anti-cheese-measurements" above crisp controls.

I play Live online quite a bit, and I've never once seen any rampant RS cheese. And if someone does... it results in a turnover, or double team is there to force a bad shot.

100% agreement ! if that happens it doesn't matter what they call it. it could be shocksomotion. It won't matter... hell keep the name as long as we have more control.

2k10's isomotion had good timing. You had to set moves up. Thats a good thing. That worked. It was also accurate. I normally got what I wanted. My issue was that it wasn't balanced. There still wasn't enough fumbles and picked up dribbles. Some isomotion moves, moved the defender automatically. That was the main issue I had.

I would not mind seeing it mapped to the right stick if we can keep the shot stick. Really I think changes have to start with the defense.

keeping the shot stick is a must. would it work if both were mapped to the right stick but holding the L Trigger was for dribbling and if you don't then you're using the shot sick? click the left stick for manually posting up?

great first day buy for me

Thank the f'n Lord! Definitely one of my top five complaints with 2K9-10. Isomotion was tolerable a few years back but I was never in love with it. This is awesome news IMO.
