NBA 2K14 - Rob Jones Briefly Explains The Pro Stick: Dribbling and Shooting

[daveberg]

Not sure about this. Getting a little fed up of 2k changing their control scheme every year instead of expanding on existing set-ups. That said, I wasn't happy about the initial change of dribbling mechanics that 2k13 brought, but I warmed to it in the end, I'm sure this will be no different.

Looking forward to playing the demo when it arrives to see just how different the controls actually are.

the only thing I'm worried about is well Their be a shot delay since you have to hold it

It's going to be a pain trying to adjust to another control scheme again this year.

please tell me i can still pass with x and shoot with square

I HATE STICKS. I love dribbling moves with the sticks but I do NOT like the sound of passing or shooting with them. I've always hated the shot stick.

Yes! My biggest problem with 2k, that I didnt completely realize until I started playing nhl, is how sluggish and unresponsive it can feel at times. In 2k the stick, while dribbling, initiates animations which need to play through before you make your next move. In nhl the stickon the controller, correspondes with the players stick and puck movement so the puck goes where the [controller's] stick goes. If 2k can get the dribbling, control, and animations on a whole to be responsive, similar to nhl, then that would be a huge upgrade.

Its funny how 2k can take something simple as drbbling the ball and make it seem like rocket science. I had enough trouble with dribbling in 2k13 playing on broadcast cam instead of the 2k cam most guys play on made the whole dribbling experience suck to say the least. But ill see what i can do this year with this new control hopefully with all of this everything is more responsive.

Not sure what to think of this but it really seems 2ks strategy of doing things is beat ea sports to the punch. This like many other 2k features is a twist on ea sports ideas on controls. And idk if it will ever be a bad thing they started doing it in 2k11 and every game since has been better and better.

Can't wait to read your version of the nba 2K control scheme.

And I suggest you should use absolute right stick dribbling.
