NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

[johnnyg713]

so idk if this has been answered. The biggest concern is signature moves. Is everyones cross up going to look the same with the new control stick? Am I going to be able to pull off the same moves with Dwight howard as I can with Kobe like I can in live?

No way man the control is different but centers will not have a guard or wing dribble package. So if you try to do the same isomotion with Dwight Howard or Bynum it will be sluggish just as it is in 2K12 and you would be more likely to lose the ball. That is why you have signatures in 2K

I doubt it. They didnt provide a good demo since 2k8-2k9 if I remember correctly...

It would be nice to have shoot around but what it is a must in my view is to have at least 2 cuarters of 4 mins (at least) and the posibility to call timeouts, subs, choose team, etc...

Cheers! ;-)

OMG I remember asking for this exact thing back on the 2k forums before 2k11. THANK YOU

this is huge for me if they actually pulled this off...for years now i have wanted the ability to break contact animations with dribble moves, so that you could get briefly bumped but then instantly regain control of your dribble without having to wait for the contact animation to finish...in previous 2k's, i always wanted to pull of something where a guy starts to bump me, but then i want to do a spin move to avoid the "full bump" and spin off of the defender mid-bump...but in previous 2k's, you always had to wait for the bump animation to play out and wait for your player to "regain control"...i'm really hoping 2k13 pulls of "breakable contact" this year.

BTW will the D Wade pullback move work this year? By that I mean will defenders fall down if they are sprinting forward to keep up on defense and then try to turn and run back?

The move is useless in 2k12.

Also, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT HOPSTEP DOESN'T WORK WHEN PEOPLE ARE STANDING THERE. IN 2K10/11 IT WAS A GO TO CHEESE TACTIC

I'm really curious Beluba, how will player separation function this year? It seems like we haven't had a go-to control for separation. I feel like defenders always warp into me, unless I start out moving faster than them, from a stand-still position it's hard to create space to burst through. Any thoughts?

incidentally, will 2k keep classic controls in? 2k12 had options of either control 1, control 2, control 3, etc. I hate to do everything with the analog stick. Or else its back to Live 10.
