I believe Mike Wang was originally a 2K employee before he was a EA/Live employee, so if he wouldn't have that short stint with NBA Live, and stayed with 2K that year, NBA2K would have still had at somepoint this control stick feature.But were all happy he is with 2K and his development to this game is just huge, nice job!

Hm. Throw the stick left to right to do euro step. What remains to be seen is is that the only way to do one? Or does that do a left to right euro step same as right to left does a right-left euro?

Also wonder if its a 1:1 input to action type deal? You flick one way and get an immediate step in that direction and won't step another way until you throw the stick the other way?

The Shot button is still there and more fully featured than in past versions. So if you choose, you can use the Right Stick for dribble moves and do all your shots with the face buttons. A lot of guys in the office prefer to play this way. In case you missed it, B (CIRCLE) is a Hop Step button again. There's an option to toggle the default behavior of the Control Stick. So you can make the Right Stick Shot Stick by default, and then hold LT (L2) to activate Isomotion. There are options to choose camera-relative vs. absolute control for both Shots and Isomotion independently. You can perform basic dribble moves with the Left Stick as well. Of course, you won't have near the same level of control as you would with the Right Stick, but it's a pretty complete arsenal of moves... including sizeups (tap the Left Stick side to side.) Bottom line, we're giving you the ability to play the way you want to play 2K13. If you adopt the Control Stick fully, you'll have more control over your player than any basketball has ever given in the past... hands down. But if you want a more casual pick up and play experience, we accommodate that as well. Hope that answers some questions.

I am so excited. This sounds like you've taken the control of NBA
Live 10 and joined it with Fifa's control scheme. Perfect! I will definitely be using the LT modifier setup. It'll control just like Fifa, which is, IMO the perfect gameplay. This was a great day for 2k fans. Even if they don't know it yet!

Can you use the bounce pass option with this?

Any chance passes are pressure sensitive so that we can throw quick vs lob passes? Or does the game do a better job of throwing passes over defenders between passer & receiver?

Im one of those guys but before I make the change...online and the overall atmosphere/sound and speed/feel of the game needs to be improved.

I love this control scheme. Man, I think I'm going to buy two 2k13's this year. A back up just in case. But I know we have to adapt the new controls, so I think it would make sense to have a practice mode in the demo so we can be prepared when the game hits..
