NBA 2K14 - Rob Jones Briefly Explains The Pro Stick: Dribbling and Shooting

[The 24th Letter]

Sounds interesting....

Definitely going to need more info...

Would be good if....
Dribble/iso - tap
Shoot/fake - LT/L2 + hold/tap
Icon Pass - RT/R1 tap + icon
Flashy Pass - RT/R1 hold + icon or hold+tap

Yeah, didn't think of that; it'll be interesting to see what they've done with it. Maybe whilst you're holding the stick you might have to quickly hold in the opposite direction.

I think A are still for regular passes. LT + right stick flashy pass. Right stick tap dribble moves, right stick hold shoot.

I can see this being a great change if the dribble moves are 100% responsive.

I like new control schemes personnally. I just love to go in practice and try to figure it out for hours. I bet it will be good in the end. 2K isn't putting up a bad control scheme.

RS taps=dribbling...
So how do you pull off spin moves or fake spins or cross and spin?Does the hold while you steer the stick ,account for spin shots or spin layups instead?It could lead to confusion between different moves ,unless the spin controls got assigned only as double taps on the hop step button.Also, how can you perform eurostep and hopstep layups if taps are dribbling only?


RS holds=shots...
Then again how can you pumpfake , up n under ,or perform hop steps and drop steps from the post(they used to be LT+RS double taps on 2k13)?Wouldnt these lead to dribbling moves as taps?Unless some post play and shots have been nerfed.

Possible answer:Contextual animations only=less control of the type of shots?
