Left stick

Is this a gimmick or are you guys buying the hype? Left stick crossovers etc or just keep using r stick instead?

Re: Left stick

I have more success with left stick over r stick when getting past a guy off a dribble. So no, it's not a gimmick. The go to shot is more gimmicky but at least you can combo dibble moves with that. I'd like to see more old school go to combos with this fancy tech they have.

Re: Left stick

Yeah it's definitely useful. I've even moved to leaving the passive dribbling on because it's so easy to combo out of those sometimes with just left stick movements.

It's not one or the other, between the left and right stick. Both have their place. Left stick as of now is good for subtle/quick moves. Right stick for the more aggressive moves like escapes, spins, stepbacks, sizeups and advanced shooting.

Re: Left stick

It just seems so jerky. Ex I will barely touch the stick and my guy will move herky jerky instead of just staying in place and switching the ball from one hand to the other.

Re: Left stick

I’ve seen all the videos, it doesn’t work like that for me. As I said it doesn’t matter how fast or hard I push the stick. Ex the snatch back left stick.

It’s all about the speed of your movement. Go in freestyle and practice. I will say that it doesn’t feel as good online because of the latency.
