yes. Either way, the contextual postup will stay in tact. LS click or RB for postup?

That is an interesting point. How many reviews are going to be noting issues that are scheduled to be patched at release? How will that affect the scores the game gets? I hope the devs hand in a disclaimer alongside the review copies.

IMO, I think holding down RB is better than clicking in the left stick.

My vote goes to RB, though i'd have to be on the sticks to see if the LS click is more natural.

# 745 Wiffyjustus @ 09/13/09 11:19 PM

RB would feel better to me.

I'd have to go with the LS on that one since it's a click while the RB would be a press am I right?

After the click, your right index finger would be free to press turbo (RT) and push the defender after the post up sequence was initiated. Pressing RB and RT at the same time would be very uncomfortable.

But if the RB initiated back down turns out to be a click as well, then I guess we're fine either way since the right index finger becomes free after the click as well.

I meant hold when I said press about the RB initiated post up.

A couple of days ago I probably would have got upset and said you are crazy if you think this game warrants that low of a score.

But after several more games just vs the CPU I got really frustrated and I don't think it plays like a 9.0 anymore which was my initial impression.

I'm not going to give it a grade now because it's unfair simply because the game isn't complete and they might add or fix things based on all of the feedback.

I had more fun playing it head to head the 1st day I downloaded it. It went downhill once I played the CPU more. But it might just be me and the overall expectations i had at first.

# 750 23 @ 09/13/09 11:38 PM

When you guys say RB, do you mean click it or hold it down?

Im in favor of some button solution so that I can post up on the perimeter and the fact that it will take people months to get used to the get ripped or slight stick move auto the post up thing.

# 751 Wiffyjustus @ 09/13/09 11:39 PM

Having a manual option would be nice for those times when you want to post up but you're not quite in a position for the contextual post up to kick in.

RB, I think just a click rather than hold. as it would then start getting too fiddly, (i.e. right hand potentially doing RB, RT and RS movements at the same time)

Ultimately LT or LB is the most natural position for a post up button (and could then work for Blocking out on D) But I think that kind of change is for another year.

Having said all that... the passing controls are outstanding this year and wouldn't want to change them.

When you put them up against each other...

LT - The linch-pin button for an amazingly in-depth and intuitive passing system

OR

LT - A button that initiates post up... (a purpose that could be served any other available button)

I think passing gets priority here.

Anyway, very happy to hear you guys are listening, Mike.

I'd be happy to see quick play move to a stick button.

hey !! guys

another ideal !

chage the LB( play calling) to D-pad left (not used)

and the post up is LB...

what do you think??

# 753 Dantecamp21 @ 09/13/09 11:51 PM

I guess we're all being proactive in this matter of the post up button and that's what constructive feedback is all about.

But I don't think they can make too many changes to the control scheme.

# 754 Wiffyjustus @ 09/13/09 11:53 PM

Thoughts on controller layout for next year

LT Post up/Blocking Out/Defensive Assist

LB Passing

RB Playcalling

The left controls could be switched around.

Note: The current fix being discussed is a good fix, just throwing my .02 in.

Good idea, but I think a shoulder button is better for *playcalling.

The reason...

You keep movement control of your player. You can keep him out of trouble while you're selecting a play

With the D-Pad you lose that control for a moment and that could be disastrous against aggressive D. It would also break the flow a bit.

D-pad isn't a bad place for play calling, but I think shoulder buttons are better.

Oops, meant playcalling, not passing...

# 757 HMcCoy @ 09/14/09 12:11 AM

Do you have hold the RT (turbo) for standing dunks or dunks right under the basket, or is it contextual?

I keep doing a crappy big man sizeup under the rack with Dwight and getting stripped when I just want to go straight up and dunk on someones head.

I love that they have the actual sounds from Laker games. Makes it feel more authentic and that I'm actually in the arena.

Yep, the authentic sounds are great.
