Just in time for the NBA 2K13 demo, which arrives tomorrow. Check out the controls trailer.
Gameplay Producer, Mike Wang (Beluba) has chimed in with the following update (Post #24).
Quote:
just fyi... some of the controls are incorrect in this trailer:
Bounce Pass = LT+A
Behind the Back = RS away from hoop
As for shots, the trailer just shows how to execute some of the new shots with the face buttons. Shot Stick controls are completely different. For example:
Hop Step Layup = LT+Double Tap RS left or right
Euro Step Layup = LT+Throw RS one way then back the other
WAYYYYYYYY to easy IMO. i guess people crying about the complexity of isomotion resulted in this. Game may play more like streetball
Nah g. people gonna play it like its streetball. then people are gonna complain about how cheesy it is cause they gettin broke off. then 2k might release a patch that tones it down.
Spin dunk was stoppable last year. Cmon y'all. But you can only do so much playing on ranked allstar lvl. Try hof or superstar sim in vs games. We're here y'all. Some of us use the sim settings 2k. Please keep doing what you are. Sometimes it's not that a move cant be stopped. Its more u haven't figured a way to stop it. Cut him off when u know hes going to spin and hands up on D. Hell run into contact. Only the powerful players .. Lebron and Blake really make it hard to stop. I've save u the tutorial ...I can stop it speech. Just remember the ranked games are for general consumption so it'll be a little "friendly". Play ur friends on hof sim and notice the difference. Thoughts of an old skool 2k vet.
Call me out if I'm lying. Play me on hof sim, abuse spin dunk; tape and post it for all to see. You might lose ...or win. But I bet a surplus of spin dunk attempts will get you blown out. I'll even put paypal money on it. You will miss more than half of ur spin dunk attempts over 10 with anyone person. Here it is .. call him out and take his money. Quick $100 for whomever is passionate enuff to prove a point. #Feelimg myself tonite youngsters .... Hof sim setting tho. 6-7 minutes ..so fatigue is a factor. Those are my stipulations.
Why are the shoes so big, clunky, and low-def? And why is every player still wearing oversized jersey's? Other than that, the new controls seems like they will be an improvement.
Lol bradley beal is missing his tattoos smh @ 2k's art team. I cant. And in the all star trailer Neither of the morris brothers have theirs. So id assume none of the rookies or second year players have theres. 2K fire your S#$%&y art team!
I don't understand why people are complaining that controls are too easy. The controls are pretty similar to last year just mapped a little bit different and in terms of using dual sticks for player movment it make sense. why should the game control be hard or complex to master if there's an easier way to do the moves that also makes sense. Basketball, like any sport, has a lot to do with quick reactions; I don't want to have to think about how to perform a certain move nor should it take awhile to do a certain move. Not to mention that this is just the basic moves. There is definitely more moves that can be performed jus look a the move derrick rose did in the first development video.
It is also a control video of course it's going to look like the offense is unstoppable. Problems such as spin dunks may have been addressed lets just wait to see how the collision physics work ou as well as defense. The demo tomorrow should hopefully answer most questions an concerns about this game.
