NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

There's one move I'm not seeing on this chart.

Think Patrick Ewing from midrange, facing the hoop, from hold (hasn't used his dribble yet). In 2k12, you could take a step (without dribbling) towards the hoop to create space, then drain the open midrange jumper.

How, when facing up, towards the hoop, do you take a step towards the hoop (to fake drive)? This is a move I need for centers and PFs that can nail the midrange. I think it's called a jab-step.

i'd like to know how the cpu does this, can't do it myself. So if anyone knows how this is done, please share

No problems with most of the moves in the game now, still a little shakey on the stick but started to enjoy it now.

Anyone got any insight on the 'protect' post moves? I'm unsure of how to pull these off as the input seems the same as regular post moves - are they contextual?

Does anyone know how to do size-ups with no live ball? I'm saying the moves to create space like doing fake shots then fake steps etc? Don't know what's it called. I want to do the fake drop step motion but it stops after the first fake.

^ Just want to clear what I said, I was too sleepy that time lol. Anyway, I wanted to know how to do the pump fake then jab step move in one seamless motion. I've seen this done by other players but every time I do this, it just goes to pump fake then the animation stops.

So now that the game has been out for a week, how is everyone shooting? Are more people using "X", or the LT+RS (double tap for advanced shots)?

I have been using the RS for shooting exclusively ever since they implemented it, but something about the controls this year has me using "X" most of the time outside of the post game. Using "B" to pull off hop step shots just feels quicker and more responsive than the double-tap RS method. I still use RS on free throws and in the post though.

What's the consensus?

Shotstick for everything for me.
