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?

After getting used to the movement and using absolute controls, It doesn't feel like button mashing to me. Intially, I had to use 2k camera only, but after 1 online game and a few off-line games I was able to switch back to broadcast.

That being said, I still use the shot stick for all shots including jump shots. Just think of LT as your guide hand that you use when you play basketball and if will begin to feel a little more natural.

The only button is use is the post up button and B. I've been a shot stick user for so long so that's the only way I know how to play. Just keep LT down and the post game is similar to 2k12.

This is the first year since 2k8 that I actually had to use the practice mode. Lay of the turbo button as well unless you need it. That helps a lot also.

What was the default on 2K12? Absolute or Relative?

[Vni]

Relative, always.

Preciate the insight man. I guess I'm a go through that training camp and try to get use to these controllers. I liked how 2k12 was. Now it just feels like I am just wiggling the right-thumbstick around until I shake the defender without even knowing what move I am trying to do. That's not sim to me, more of streetball.

Also, some of the moves the CPU does are a lot of playground moves that should be done in a allstar game. Maybe I can tweek the rosters to tone down everyone's ball-handling but that is just a pain in the neck!..
