Controls shouldn't ever be this complicated, ever. 2k is way to mechanical and unnatural to be fun. I mean that huge list is way too much to take in. Controlling your player feels more like controlling a giant robot.

2k needs to find a more natural user friendly control scheme. That huge list, and there is still no way of dribbling from your left hand to your right in a stationary position. Just not realistic to me at all.

I have the same question about the up and under: do you have to hold LT all the way through the sequence?

While this is true, the rest of your post is terrible.

Games are no longer simplistic. If you think your comment holds water, you should take a look at NHL and FIFA, two highly rated, best-selling games that have just as complicated control schemes.

If I wanted simplistic I'd get a Wii. A company offering a deep, expansive system for those that want to lose themselves in the game are catering to the individual that wants the most from their $60.

If you want to play sports games that simulate the real thing, then time to hop on-board the advanced controller configuration train. Otherwise, you're best left with games like NBA Jam as the sole representative in your collection.

Can't say I completely disagree. Still, I try to keep in mind that despite how long the list is, it's only 1 or 2 buttons that are being manipulated. I'll take that over 2 to 3. Also, for me, the learning curve is increased due to some discomfort w/the camera angle. With the full release, I feel it will be an easy-to-learn-difficult-to-master kind of thing. I do agree about the stand still left/right, but I'm ok without itt.

I actually prefer the fact that the controls are DEEP...Complicated is something they are not because you have to learn the moves and practice just like a player would have to practice to pull off a Euro Step or Up and Under...The learning curve IMO separates the Johnny Come Lately bums who want to master something that is overly effective and run it into the ground instead spending time trying to learn the subtle intricacies of the game...

I actually like the fact that the game makes me work to be good...Too many people want INSTANT GRATIFICATION...in 2k you gotta work for it.
