IS IT ME OR IS ICON PASSING A BIT CLUMSY?

[jahswill]

It just isn't as responsive as I would expect it to be. I'm not able to pass to the open shooter more times than not.

My problem is that every other time I try to icon pass I accidentally switch to the player instead of passing it to him. Is there a way to separate those controls?

Held left Trigger + tapped icon = quick pass (be sure to hold LT until pass has been made)

Held Left Trigger + held icon = off-ball movement enabled until icon is released (again, be sure to hold LT until you've released the button and made the pass)

Held Left Trigger + held icon + Releasing LT before releasing icon = Temporary player lock (press A to call for pass, B to call for off-ball screen, Y to call for oop)

Yea I know what the controls are, it's just that I usually screw it up unconsciously, especially when the clock is winding down. Nothing worse than losing a game because you tried to pass to your open man with 2 seconds left but instead you switch to him by accident while frantically slapping buttons.

I think the controls should be further differentiated to prevent screw ups. I'd say half my turnovers in this game come from the controls not doing what I want them to do, and that's a sign of bad controls.

Its definitely clumsy due to the man switch. Too bad cause this is the best way to pass. THere should be an option to turn it off. WHen you play 5 vs 5 it is off and smooth. I always play with atleast one person on my team in VS online and it really sucks and takes away from the great gameplay.

Please give us an option to turn it off!

It was horrible in the demo. I have no problem with it in the retail though. The controls are slightly different so coming from 2k it took a little bit to get used to.

I wish that we could configure the controller to our liking. This would completely alleviate these problems

I thik that they make the icon passing unresponsive on purpose so that you will get use to the freestyle passing. It definitely did that for me, but I'm happy about it because I think freestyle passing is sweet!!
