Don't forget that you will also need to be "smothered" by the defender, that one animation where he's all in ur grill, if you know what I mean.

that's exactly it. you've got it. once i understood that, the control started to feel amazing. i wish they would've been more clear about the left stick moves. they spent so much time talking about the right stick, they forgot to mention the left stick functionality and how it might conflict with the right stick.

i'm actually loving the automatic left stick crossovers, spins, and hesitations. it's nice to be able to do them without using a modifier button. they work so well that i find i don't even need the right stick a lot of the time.

Oh that sounds good and makes sense too. How do you feel of the difference between a LS crossover and a RS crossover? Any differences or one is better/faster then the other?

I thought right stick away from the basket started your dribble no matter what. No more "Hold ball away from defender" triple-threat move.

the left stick crossovers are a bit easier. they are quick and consistent, and they're easier since all you have to do is change direction and your player automatically does them. but, you can do some more explosive crossovers with the RS if you use it right.

This discussion is going to help a lot, so hesitation then cross we should do hesitation with RS and then cross with LS and go? Also when are you guys using turbo if it all after u do a move or two?

yes, that's exactly right.

Okay this is clearing up a lot of my questions, thanks for your help. So when your trying to get past your defender after doing a cross Turbo is not needed just use the LS to continue threw and just throw turbo in there if u got the lane for a dunk.

You have anything else to add about moves or combos that worked well for you using LS+RS?
