NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

[xMoJox]

Now if only Beluba would just cut to the chase and tell us whether Crew will be in the game this year! (Or at least something similar!)

Does the right stick passing lead to more crazy/trick type passes and not as safe?

Had to throw a PES reference in there, didn't you?

thank you, sir. looks like this year's control scheme is enough to keep everyone happy. no more unintentional floaters when i wanted a hop step...and no more inconsistent stepbacks.

being able to do spins with the button again is kind of a big deal to me as well. trying to do the RS + L2 spins in 2k12 just felt too sluggish and inconsistent. the button will be much more responsive.

Now that hop step is a button again, I wonder if it will be back to being the 100% success move again.

it was the 100% success move in 2k12 as well, people just didn't use it as often because it was harder to do. i like that the hop step is easier now, 2k just has to make sure there is contact physics on hop steps so the defender can redirect them with contact...or there should be an automatic physics-based charging call if a player tries to hop step right into a defender. as long as 2k handles the contact physics properly, it should be fine.

That's true about it being 100% in 2k12 also. So is the spin dunk/layup it always goes in or draws the foul. Not only do they go in/draw fouls but they automatically push whoever is guarding out of the way which is probably why it works 100% of the time.
