Guys you have to try the Lt with the shot stick. Wow the amount of moves are crazy. If you hold Lt and dbl tap the right stick there are so many moves unlocked its crazy. An its not as complicated as it may sound. Thats how you do the snatchback jumper the rip through jumper etc. Easier than doing the face buttons thats shown in the training camps. Try it for yourself in freestyle and see.

I can't do the stepback jumper with the shot stick. It always does a hopstep no matter where I'm aiming.
Also double shimmy works 1/10. I can do the shimmy shot just fine, but the double shimmy rarely.

I love the new controls though. Changed L2 to trigger the dribbles.
I enjoy playing with ball handlers too much now.
I exhaust them in a couple of minutes. :P

First, thanks for uploading the guide. I will say I've been going through the "training camp" and as a new player it does help you learn the moves. The key I think if learning the patterns of how the sticks, triggers, etc work together as there are too many moves try to memorize. The moves with the quick half-turns or double taps of the stick are the toughest for me to pull off (or the double taps of the circle button...too much like QTE which were the bane of my existence playing Resident Evil) But again, I'd recommend going through the training camp, especially if you're a new player. I'd also say pick the way you're most comfortable shooting (buttons or shot/dribble stick) and stick with that.

When the defender crowds you and you're not dribbling move the stick away from the defender.

There is somethng wrong with Kobe's post fadeaways. Even in training without defender I can't score 2 in a row, or very hardly even with perfect release. Can anyone try it out?

# 406 cepwin @ 10/06/12 06:24 PM

Yes, the controls definitely take time. I was just doing the "post" part of the training camp and 17/22 moves weren't such a problem but where I get messed up are the moves that have things like "click the stick in this direction and quickly move the stick in the opposite direction or hold L2, move left and tap triangle. In the second case it will say "remember to hold L2" even though never released L2 or make sure you move left before taping triangle (I think it's one of the "face up" moves) Any tricks to getting these sorts of moves to be picked up by the system? It's very frustrating at times.

Excellent, thanks for the tip.

As someone who has used Dallas in Live/2K since 2000 and never really had to use dribble moves (we've never had dribble breakdown players) Ive decided to have an OKC season it's an absolute pleasure to play with Westbrook and fully explore the controls.

# 409 Vni @ 10/06/12 10:26 PM

You can't decide anymore who you want to come over to help for the double team? This is really wrong if that's the case.

# 410 kevmasood @ 10/06/12 10:33 PM

LIKE BLUES ROCKER said once u figure out how the left and the right stick coincide with one another MANNNN 2K is brillant for implementing the right stick with the left just dont touch L2 when dribbling TODAY was a good day i was playing my nephew we use to go to war on 2k12 lol, Now we starting a new era in 2k13 mind u this is DAY 5 since the game been release i play on SIMULATION , He won the first game ,by the 2nd game i really figured out how they work i was duin everything i wanted to do with the controls im still learning now WON the 2nd game, 3rd game a road game i won that game, the 4th game DREAM TEAM MATCH UP vs. 2012 team we play on HALL OF FAME since 2k11 i had the 92 team i BLEEEEEEW him out the water ran that team out the gym these controls r amazing and i still have a long way to go i stay in training camp very helpful INFO

YOUR RIGHT my man now i understand absolute is the way to go

# 412 cepwin @ 10/06/12 11:17 PM

Here's a very specific question I have. On an overhead lunge it says "tap RS away from player facing" The instructions in the training camp say move RS away from player quickly and release. Is is a flick motion or do I need to "click" the RS? That seems to work great going right to left but with overhead I flick away and the animation goes *towards* the opponent, whereas when I watch the computer the player jumps away from the opponent.

Tnx

i try to find it but it looks like it has been taken out. i dont understand why they like changing stuff that are perfect they way they are. doubling teaming is stupid now, half the time they dont even do it, the other half the wrong person double teams. i want to pick the double teamer like in 2k12...

Still possible though but it forces you to play offball and it's not as easy.

I would add drop step dunks to the Can't do anymore's list.

Ah yeah, that works. Thanks man.

For people struggling with the controls, here is my advice. When I first got the game all I did was go directly into practice mode with Kobe, pull up the controls list from this site on my computer, and learn EVERYTHING. Break it down into sections (dribbling, shooting, layups etc) and once you master each section move onto the next one. After about 2 days I have learned just about everything and feel pretty comfortable with the controls.

You really need to just calm down, take a day or two to learn them, and then go back to your games. You can ALWAYS play your Association or Exhibition modes, they will not move I promise, however if you decide not to learn the new controls you are basically not getting the full potential out of the game.

There are a bunch of little things to be learned also like when to break out of a size up and stuff. It was fun for me to learn all the little things and now I cant wait to apply them in game.

BTW DEFINITELY change the dribble stick to absolute, it is much easier to execute things.

can someone post a vid of the drop step dunk? Thanks

# 418 khayri2 @ 10/08/12 12:44 AM

For those who like absolute, are y'all playin on the 2k camera? I play on broadcast & I'm already used to camera relative and I perform moves just fine. I'll try absolute and see if I like it

# 419 Vni @ 10/08/12 01:38 AM

I tryed absolute but I prefer relative. I mean it's the way I play sports game like PES, FIFA and NBA 2K games since like 15 years. Absolute doesn't make sense to my brain.

One thing, is that possible that double shimmys are now based on tendencies just like bank shots? I seem to do them randomly when I'am only tryeing to do simple shimmy.

# 420 thilanwij @ 10/08/12 04:34 AM

I only use the B button when I want to spin layup or dunk haha. Everything else, I use the Rstick.
