Triple Threat = Useless

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

Why is it that in every thread where someone has a legit issue, I see you saying that you're "Not seeing it". Using slow players with triple threat? So you're telling me that you're able to pull off the animations seen in that video? I don't buy it, sorry.

The Paul Perice version for 2k10....lol jk

That was none of those animations, unless you're refering to the awkward "turn his entire body towards the sideline and take a couple steps" animation there. That wasn't exploding out of a triple threat at all.

That video did prove how disjointed the perimeter game looks in 2k10 though. If that's the best you've got then you just validated my entire thread, thanks jeebs!

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

It works MUCH better and easier if you use the right stick as the isomotion/dribble button instead of shooting.

Problem then is you lose the post moves because I can't for the life of me pull off any post moves with the regular shoot button that are possible with the right stick.

It's really a strange (I'd say stupid but probably get attacked) choice of control options.

I've never liked the right stick for shooting.

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

I guess all those animations are gone, horrible decision IMO. They were so effective for breaking the full court press and were in no way abusable in the half court.

They should be able to patch them in, but I doubt that will happen. We've still got guys like LBJ and Melo with rookie layup packages, I'm probably asking for way too much here.

No explosions out of triple threat, no shot preparation before the catch. You're killing me 2k!

Works for me...

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

Problem is Ive seen these things, but did them completely accidentally and have no idea what I did!

Exploding out like in that video? Proof?

I'm not talking about triple threat working, it's the animations coming out of it.

Ive seen some explosions out of it (no video) but Ill stuff around in practise to try and get it to work

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

There's the issue...you shouldn't have to mess around in practice just to get it to work once.

I just want it back to the way it was! Sports games should never regress, just build upon what they have.

Here's hoping a developer sees this thread and maybe they can squeeze it into the next patch.

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

I can do the triple threat launch to the nonpivot foot direction, but I am unable to pull off the protect ball-spin launch. I follow the directions 2k lists for doing it explicitly, but no luck.

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

Taking a quick jab to the right and then ripping to the left works beautifully in this game. It actually might be a little TOO effective.

Right, I am unable to get this down either. Actually, I think the in-game tutorial is out of date.

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

They just missed the explosion animation out of the protect ball move as far as I can tell. I was able to explode out of a jab step with Monta and Bad Porn last night for dunks, though I didn't try exploding out of other moves like the step-through. Seems okay to me aside from the protect ball explode spin thing that used to be really useful in the past.

Re: Triple Threat = Useless

Bah. I'm able to run fast out of triple threat sometimes too, not what I'm looking for!

After trying hundreds of times not even a single true explosion animation from the jab step, step over or protect ball.

I don't doubt some of you are seeing things that may look similar to those animations, but I'm convinced they just aren't there anymore.

Hopefully they can bring them back next year. Player movement has steadily regressed for a few years now, this needs to be a major focus for 2k11.
