Noob passing question

When making quick passes, like to a cutter, do you use the directional passing or icon passing?

If it's icon passing, that's some quick button work and I better get to practicing!

i always try to use icon passing. the directional passing is just too unreliable for me. as you get used to using icon passing for all the passes, you get pretty quick at doing it. if i miss a cutter, i'll just reset for the next play instead of trying to force a bad pass

Here's a link to a poll one of the game's devs ran that has a lot of interesting insights into this title's passing options / mechanics:

As a long time player of this series, I'm so used to icon, that it's easy (and reliable) for me...

Here's a cool video by DaCzar on the OS Channel at youtube re: passing:

Re: Noob passing question

I think it depends on the situation. On fast breaks, icon passing seems too slow. So I use right stick passing and get some nice bounce passes every now and then.

I used to use directional passing when passing out of a layup attempt. Too many passes went to the wrong player, so I use right stick passing and icon passing for that now.
