NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

[risinglotus]

Sorry don't know if this has been posted, but is there a PS3 version of the controls?

I was able to get the controls right almost off the bat. That's what's up! It's really fluid and just works. Andthing you want to do, you can do it.

Okay I just have two more questions. I remember around E3 footage time, you post on here that you were unhappy with isomotion. Are you happy with the new dribbling system?

My second question is could you possibly give us a tip on using the new control stick dribbling? So we can have something to practice during in the demo.

Thank you for your time and the hard work you've put in over the years.

I have always been a big time Magic fan, but the reason Dwight became my favorite player in the NBA was because of 2k. Back during 2k11, when the post controls were over hauled, Dwight became unstoppable. This is from my post in the impressions thread about the face up drive animation.

Sickkkk.

Melo does this alot also. I always wondered why I couldn't pull it off in 2K12 it's because it wasn't in the game

For a first year effort... pretty happy with the right stick iso. But it will take another year to get the full design implemented. So ask me again next year.

As for tips... My advice for those who are still struggling with the controls would be to give it time. It took most people in the office several days, if not longer, to get comfortable with the changes. But at some point it will click and become second nature. Moving Isomotion to the right stick is a necessary step in bringing the floor game of NBA2K to the next level. It will be more apparent when you see the next evolution of the Control Stick in 14.

The other thing I'll add is that there's a rhythm to the moves and how they chain together. It's important to learn them and to use the moves in the proper contexts. Spazzing on the right stick won't get you very far, at least not in the higher difficulty levels or against competent human opponents. It's also important to coordinate where you're trying to go with the left stick before and after right stick moves. That's something that's not really in the manual or in Training Camp. You just kind of have to learn it through trial and error. Also, lay off turbo until you're ready to attack with your drive. Too much turbo will make the dribbler very unwieldy.

Thank you, I think I that is my problem as in I'm spazzing on the stick, because I'm used to the old isomotion system. I saw the control list and i've memorized the move list. It's just weird because the Left stick also does dribbling moves. I'll have to learn how to ease up and read my defender. I'll keep these tips in mind when I get the retail version. Thank you again for answering my questions.

takes about 9-10 games to the get the hang, after that it was easy, plus I dont even know if they have dribble move ratings but it seems like it and they matter more this year. If you played the game last year you know what I'm talking about. Lebrons behind the back is kinda average. DWades stepback is great (ok now get up) etc.
