NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

[Colts18]

In case you missed it, B (CIRCLE) is a Hop Step button again.


Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

question for Beluba - does the hop step button work like it did in 2k11, where it could also be used for spins and step-backs? i always liked using the hop step button for step-backs in 2k11 - it always felt a bit more responsive than using the stick for step-backs.

Is there passing with the control stick as well...?

If LT is to bring up the shot stick what button brings up icons? LB?

I dont see the problem here. As long as there is proper collision detection (hopefully the new physics bring this) then it wont be able to be abused. Its not the control scheme that made it cheesy in the pass, it was the lack of proper collision detection.

Ahhh, I was wondering how you all would do this. Sounds more intuitive. Nice!

With all due respect to other devs who currently work on or have previously worked on an NBA simulation, Mike Wang is just the best in the business at what he does. History speaks for itself, the one year he went over to design NBA Live it was by far the best NBA Live game this generation then the very next year he designs 2K11 and thats arguably the best sports simulation of all time.

EDIT: Dont wanna downplay the rest of his development teams from Live 10 and his years at 2K. Obviously they know basketball and have followed his lead so big ups to them as well. Oct 2nd cant come fast enough.
