My bad if this has already been discussed but I just started playing 2k10 this month and I must say the ball handling controls are terrible. They're are no controls to break down a defender. . .Or am I just missing something?

There are a lot of things I like about this game that are better than Live, but why can't they incorperate Live's joystick ball handling? that would make this game so sick!

Oh man....not again....

The controls are fine. How long did you play? Because if you picked it up and played once and came back with that review. Then....the Time you spent is the experience you get. Because I had trouble with Live controls at first. But I gave them a chance and now I'm as skilled on 2k with Live dribble scheme.

But again nothing wrong with the dribbling the movement is whats missed up.

The Isomotion controls are really hard to get used to, especially if you come from playing Live 10 where the controls are silky smooth.

The player movement (or lack thereof) in 2K also hurts the game. I'm not saying 2K is bad or anything, it's just not as user-friendly as Live, imo.

^^That I can kind of agree with^^

But I'm not ready to give up these deep controls...lol

Okay, so what am I doing wrong?. . .I've played a lot more than just one game and I still can't figure out anything. is there a tutorial for this somewhere? practice mode didn't help either.

Check out youtube....Or I think there is a tourial on the 2k site

No No No they are not terrible they are just not smooth.

There are about 4 different dribbles in the game that are so unrealistic.

There are a few dribbles we don't have control over. 2K decides which dribble we use when the cpu is making a run or when you beat your man that will slow you down.

If your man is beat the game will do an unnecessary dribble sometimes to help the defense.

the game has too much animation, especially on dribbles, and that ruins the gameplay. it's kinda annoying to beat your defense then get slowed just by him running up near you. that's fine if the same happens when i'm the one playing the defense, and i can slow him down the way he slows me down. but that has yet to happen.
