You say that; but you wouldn't believe how many people I've seen that can't do the euro without accidentally activating the floater, or right/left handed layup animations. You have to hit the analog stick at the proper diagonal angle in order to get the euro to activate.

It is inherently more difficult to pull off than pressing the x button twice.

I expect to see more off ball defense, which is will be annoying. I just hope the new controls are counter balanced with away from the ball fouls

Is the spin layup still available? If so how do we perform it on 17?

Happy euro-step had been simplified, I'd only use it when controlling Giannis! I can see people abuse it like the spin move, hopefully they implemented a way to defend it. Still hoping they add a button that lets you protect the ball after rebounding especially for bigs

Hold turbo and double tap the shoot button.

# 46 MarkWilliam @ 08/18/16 11:25 PM

Double tap Euro Step being back is great. Love that.

# 47 adamspag @ 08/18/16 11:47 PM

Awesome, no signature post moves...

# 48 ChompskyHonk63 @ 08/19/16 04:51 AM

Defense looking like it's gonna be hella fun!!!

# 49 Poke @ 08/19/16 10:29 AM

Why have flop in the game if you can't trick the refs into calling a charge call. Useless IMO

# 50 Mintsa @ 08/19/16 10:41 AM

Love how the eurosteps are back on the buttons. I just couldn't do it using the sticks.

I think the reason that the euro step was not seen in the park and pro-am was due to its ineffectiveness, as well as the ease in which you could either time the layup release to block it as a help side defender or more importantly steal the ball due to a long steal animation window.

I hope that the alternative input method as back and away from the rim (either to the right or the left) while driving on the right stick is still an option to allow me to continue to do all my dribble and layup controls on the right stick

I'm excited that eurostep is back on the buttons, people been asking for it back for the longest.

Ditto. I knew how to do it, but I kept getting the floater animation. It was too inconsistent for me. I like it on the button better.

# 54 MarkWilliam @ 08/19/16 01:08 PM

Could you step back out of triple threat before?

Can't say I've used it if so....

Because for the last n years 2k online servers have been so laggy that if the CPU doesn't contest for you you're going to be way behind on it.

If that were the reason then we would need automatic rebounding, automatic steals, automatic timing jumpshot and so on. I see where you are coming from with the lag but I've been playing 2K with people from the US for years -laggy games- and none of us ever needed to have that on.

You knew that when you press the standard pass button they have made it so once in a while you actually bounce pass ? I remember Czar saying it was because some people would not bother looking at the controls and you have to have it trigger sometimes or they would think it's not in the game.

It's just assistance for assisted gamers. (Not refering to anyone who has some sort of condition)

# 57 Hopsin @ 08/19/16 01:27 PM

I personally didn't like the euro much this year.. Hopefully they work on it.. This year at least online it was too slow tbh.. And with them making blocks a lot easier it was an easy swat when attempting one.

Its just you need to know when its effective to do this move and you got no margin for mistake. Combine it with difficult control its not under use by many. But if you get past the learning curve its very powerful.

Me personally enjoying the uniqueness to somebody that learnt it this year in park/pro am and contextual animations can look really nice.

some examples:
