NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

[The 24th Letter]

Yeah I think of RS as almost a launch button for drives to the rack...

I think my biggest thing was learning when to launch and allowing my moves to be set up.....after that, the game of chicken you suck the the defender Into is just amazing....

After some experimenting and practice with the new control scheme. Using the right stick correctly allows you to do sooo many more moves that 2k12 can't even come close to. So many more stationary moves that you are in total control of, not just animations. Dribbling is alot more fun and responsive. Makes pick and roll game so much fun since you have so many different options as the ball handler.

For people complaining about how 2k12's isomotion was perfect, why change it? Give it some practice and you will understand how much more deeper this control system is. As for pressing down L2 as shot modifier. Its also gives it a real feel, kind of having to gather your hands in real life before you take a shot. Once to practice a bit, it will become second nature.

hey, Beluba. Well, after all of that, i realized that the reason icon lead passing wasn't working well for me was because i was often driving with LS and turbo while attempting to lead pass ...in order for lead pass to work well, you first have to let go of turbo and LS, then move LS in the direction you want to lead the receiver. once i started letting go of LS and turbo before trying to lead pass, the icon lead passing worked great. just figured i'd clear up my misunderstanding. There are still some cases where you can't move a stationary receiver like i mentioned, but overall it's working well for me now.

Yep...you can do some real quick back and forth dribbles with just the left stick...

I got to say I'm struggling hard to get the half spin down lol. The Cross Half Spin I got down nicely, but the half spin usually results in a full spin or hesitation.

(EDIT: I think I got down now, It goes back to what you said about the rhythm/timing of a move)



I apologize if you posted this already, but how do you do the "hesitation" spin move by rose you pointed out in this post? As rose turns he hesitates for a bit before he finishes.

That half spin is a little tough for me too.

This is seriously great info that I am reading everytime I come back. Back to practicing dribble moves on the demo! Thanks everyone, especially Blues Rocker once again haha.
