NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

[lockjaw333]

So I went through the training camp, and do I understand correctly that we are being encouraged this year to use X for shooting (other than in the post)? It seems like most of the gather moves (stepback jumper, side hop jumper, spin jumper) performed with B are meant to be performed using X to shoot.

This is a strange transition for me, as I'm used to the Shotstick for 5 years running now (could be more?). I know the R-stick can still be used for shooting if you hold LT, but I just thought it was strange that training camp only includes button controls outside of the post game.

I have to say, using buttons makes performing the moves much easier, but it doesn't feel as fluid and as much of a natural extension of the brain as the shotstick has in past years. Feels a tad like button mashing...but again you can pull off the moves with razor sharp precision.

Thoughts?

I cannot get the face up drive to the key or the baseline. I'm about to throw my controller through my TV. Can anyone help?

Anyone figure out how to do Shaq's drop step dunk move. In 2k12 all you had to do was hold LT and RT then use the shot stick. Doesn't work anymore and I don't see it listed anywhere.

I'd also like to know how to do rondo's fake behind the back pass layup.

As great as the game is, it feels like I am button smashing, but I know I have to vet used to it. Kinda wished hop step was the y button, I'm so used to 2k11 controls so jumping to 2k13 is a big difference. Either way practice makes perfect.

Hop step is just moved over to B. It didn't take me very long to get used to hitting B instead of Y. Double tapping B is spin also which is simple enough. Isomotion works best when u switch it over to LT + RS because you can also do moves with LT + LS (works more like 2k11 than 2k12). This way as long as you have LT held down u can chain moves with LS and the RS. Releasing the LT goes back to the regular shot stick. Feels more natural to me.

Setting the controls to absolute saved the game for me. I now understand why 2k moved the dribble moves to the right stick. It completely opens the game up in my opinion
