NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

[UnbelievablyRAW]

CAn we switch the control stick and shot stick? I'd rather hold of L2 and use the right stick to crossoever. 3 years of using RS to do layups isn't gonna go away easy lol

I'll appreciate the learning curve and not ask too many premature questions. But if you haven't already you all might want to consider toning down the players "fall from crossover animations." Just saw a guy fall face flat for no apparent reason. A decreased occurrence wow increase the oooo wee factor when it's done right. But minimize the distractions when animation errors. Win -win.

Imo they are as rare as back to back 3 pointers (whatever percentage you would apply to that is about fair). Not completely alien but enough to raise an eye brow when they happen.

Appreciate your involvement. Been playing since 2k. I like the company's general ethos when it comes to effort w this game. I'm 30 now so I've been playing since I was 17. Seems like we've all grown up together.

DAMN, my whole message didn't post due to lost connection on this damn train. Lol.

Either way, LOVE the dribble stick fusion, M-Dub! Had weird mental marriages of Live 10 when playing that threw me off when trying to use shot stick.as well as TCP, at first, so I went to face button shooting and passing which help my anxieties and wack gameplay. Lol. However, subconsciously, I eased back to shot stick lil by lil.

Either way, I think I love this game, NOW. Took too long for me to feel this way about an NBA2K game. Kudos, Mike and 2K team!

It's amazing how quickly the LT + stick combo has become second nature...especially in situations like finishing drives, cuts, catch and shoots...this game is going to take a toll on my left index finger though..lol

As far as dribbling, the first thing I had to realize is though the dribbling is on he right stick now, this is NOT NBA Live lol. There is a entirely different direction 2k took it and I'm beginning to understand the way moves chain together. I know I'm going to have to relearn this when I get the retail and boost the difficulty up.

Kind of...you can spin and do step backs with the L stick with ease....you need to lay off the L stick if you are doing moves with the right. This is what threw me off most of the time and once I figured it out the moves were much easier to pull off.

Like in other 2k games laying off the turbo has more success getting passed the guy than pressing it.

im gonna have to agree. this new setup focuses on shooting with the button and i hate that. im a shot stick guy, it doesnt feel natural to hold L2 to shoot jumpers.

cant wait till tuesday so i can change it.

Even though I'm getting the hang of it, I can def see my self going back....I really hope it's still fully functional...
