I was annoyed with flop feature because I played a few matches and guys intentionally flopped throughout the game.

LT or L2 + A is manual bounce pass

I actually remember this happening last year. I don't know if it was intended to be for flopping or it was a mess up on 2ks part but it was annoying. Sometimes if you put your hands up on defense your guy would just fall over, it was stupid and annoying lol. I haven't tried flopping yet, but i can't say i'm thrilled about them trying to make this a feature in 2k13.

Still Loving The Demo. Only thing is i know the game will ship with 2 controller configurations but i think the 2nd configuration should be default. because it makes the shot stick the default stick action and when holding LT it does dribble.

I feel that is more natural being that we have been holding LTto dribble in 2k since isomotion started. it would feel more natural.

only thing I'm missing now is putting the controls on ABSOLUTE and 2k view.

This Game Is A First Day Buy For Any Basketball Fan!! NBA 2K13 FTW!!

Yes - those basketball fundamentals are really what people see right off the bat, eh? I'm torn on the decision to have the dribbling as the default. With so many people accustomed to the shot stick, to make it a SECONDARY function now as the default baffles me. It's their bread and butter for years and now it plays second fiddle. I tried to have an open mind about this but I find myself yearning for the option to change the default control to the SS and have the dribbles secondary. [Edit - Yes I know you can change this in the full game. A great choice at least.] This is something I never agreed with in Live's gameplay direction - just because dribbling happens at a more frequent rate doesn't mean it should be easily done. I see the same thing here although the dev. team has done a much better job of having more contact with the ball handler. I still see this being a problem (at least on defaults) of an inexperienced user taking a star and flicking the stick until they are all the way on the paint. I was able to do this on a few occasions and the Lebron, DWade, Westbrook and Durant all easily got to the rim. Still excited for the game... but in the hopes to spotlight the "control stick" for dribbling Th go against my design (which was shot stick first, LT opens up dribbling) this game opens up more to the casuals. A good thing for sales - accessibility is huge... but not a good thing for those that want the skilled players who learn the depth of the controls stand out.

Hey Pared,

I agree 100 % with your post. I said the exact same thing when they first announced the control scheme.

The shot stick should be default & the dribble stick should be secondary (only activated with the trigger button). Thats what seems to be the more logical lay out of the controls to me anyway. This kinda tucks away the shot stick and not make it the main feature on offense.

Edit: And hopefully the alternate control schemes can be saved and not have to be changed before every game......I'm referring to online play here.
