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

[alabamarob]

If this new control scheme makes pumpfakes realistic then that alone is enough for me. If it requires you to stop midshot then hopefully players will have different shot fake effectiveness and animations. If they couple this with traveling calls then paint defense will be much better this year.

I'm tired of learning new control schemes every year. I wish they got deeper and more realistic without changing it into something else.

Won't know the reason why they changed it until I get hands on but it seems pointless and I'm unimpressed right now.

And each year the controls have been better than the previous, so why are you worried? Last year were the best button combos and control combos, imo.

Thing is the player wouldn't always do a bounce pass by themselves when appropriate. In fact they rarely did. It feels completely different to be assured a bounce pass-- sometimes forcing one inappropriately which is part of the fun-- than hope you might get one. I actually made mistakes forcing them like I do in real ball, meaning the gameplay is working as intended.

So how do we bounce pass this year? Same I assume-- LT-Pass.

But yes flashy passes need they own control. They should present their own risk and rewards, just like bounce passes. They shouldn't be restricted to when the programming randomly depends its appropriate.

Can't wait for this! Absolutely love the pass stick in NBA Live 10.

Yes it is.

Um... wasn't this already in 2K13 (or maybe 2K12), where you could turn on right-stick passing if you wanted to?

After 2, 5 min qtr games it will be second nature fam. The **** is NOICE. Feel's natural, so that it makes the thought of needing a trigger to activate shots seem clumsy and cumbersome.

You come down and left right cross then hold for the pullup. I really really enjoyed this config. It is part of the reason I don't play 13 now because it's just to cumbersome (in my mind) to get shots off and I don't want those habbit's back when I get 14 LOL.
