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

[nip83]

Can't understand this whole negativity guys.For years i've been playing 2k and always dreaming of the time that i could do what the tricky,clever pg's in the league are doing.You know that cool style ,people like rubio,cp3,nash or rondo ,keep their dribble,slow down and change pace in the lane,create angles and then get creative with passes ,the defence ,could not imagine coming.

Now the new control scheme seems to get closer to these ideas ,it leaves room for you to be tricky ,pass into any direction in regards to your body angle and even pull off some fakes while driving(if reports are corect).

And all i hear about this innovation (free flowing passing with the LT) ,is that ,it's a chore for guys to relearn.

I mentioned it in another thread. I posted Shake4ndBake's video on the passing and he confirmed it.

Yeah I kind of agree, I don't want to seem like I'm playing AND1 basketball show, hopefully there is a alternate control scheme in the game, I just want the right trigger to be my shots control for jumpers, dunks layups, etc.

looking forward to the new control system. 2k always keeps the game fresh by implementing new control schemes, which become second nature after a few games.

as far as flashy passes, I would assume that will be dictated by part user and part player attribute.

IMO it might be how it was in CH2k8, where a big man would try o do a flashy pass or some type of cross over and just stumble or turn the ball over.
not to bring up CH2k8 again, but the game was beautiful with the passing and flashy passes being distributed by top notch ball handlers.
Based on the new control schemes it seems like they are going for that feel again. where spotting up/proper footing for shots was key, blocks were organic, and passing was fun.

So... your advocating for less control for users ?

I really hope Ipod is right about the spin dunk part though. I hope these new controls make it harder to pull off those type of moves.

I think he just doesn't care to use it and doesn't want to see 25 no look passes a game. It's great they give us control over these type of passes. But I can see where people would abuse it in quick play online games because your playing kids. Online leagues and games against fellow OS sim players not an issue... I can't wait to use the passing with show time Magic! To me the controls sound great! I hated the LT+shot to shoot!
