I can tell you right now the right analog stick wont be mapped for dribbling(by default).. Joystiq got it wrong.

Yup, I've heard in other previews and videos about dribbling still being on the left stick. I just expect there to be less use of the triggers to do the moves ala 2k8.

If you don't use the shot stick you cannot do drifters/leaners/runners/advanced post moves/adjusting shots in mid-air/specific layup packages(like Rondo's).

Although with the button you can do fadeaways. This is why I only use the button for spot up jumpers. Also for pumpfakes in the paint and the lean in the defender to draw a foul animation.

I also noticed using the shot stick in the paint area won't initiate heavy contact as much. Can anyone relate to this?

Exactly. I wished they just kept the controls the same and just let the "newcomers" to just use ALT A like alot of people do.

They have to get the game to play smooth before changing controls cause the dribbling control on 2k10 was horrible i like 2k9 dribbling control way better. I hope both hoop games this year are great because last year was a embarrissment to the sport

let's see this play out. it's definitely possible you will use the trigger and the right stick for dribbling. mid air collisions? awesome.

yea i swear this sounds a lot like nba live, hmmm and they are adding in-air collisions... hmm nba live??? people say live copies 2k... and it is true to a degree but to a large degree 2k copies live, when it came to the dynamic dna , 2k came out with its version, dunk contest, 2k came out with its version, dribble stick was in live, 2k comes out with one now? hmmm

I read somewhere else that half spin will be done with a quick 1/4 roll /rollback of the LEFT stick the joystiq previewer must have made a mistake. However there'll always be alternate control schemes, and right stick ball handling is already in the game.

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview (Joystiq)

its funny i've see alot of talk about live using the right stick to shoot, and how its stolen from 2k even though its no where near the same. but now you can dribble in 2k with the right stick which has been a staple in the live series for idk.....ever

Actually, this feature was also in Inside Drive 2003, which was the same year EA implemented it. And also, if I'm not mistaken, in NBA Shootout 2003.

I hope not, because if it is, we may have to push both sticks and pull both triggers for dunking. That's pretty annoying.

And still people buy 2K more than Live. Life isn't fair, eh?

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview (Joystiq)

i was just reading how elite 11 is introducing a shot stick and think they're so innovative. they showed Carmelo going for a dunk and flick the stick to change it to a layup, um, haven't i seen that before years ago in a 2K game?

Re: NBA 2K11 Preview (Joystiq)

Well, at the end, what matters is which game plays better. And if(!) unit sold is an indication, we know the answer.

[flyboy703]

flyboy or "FAN"boy?

i play both games i just dont like fanboys that say live does nothing right, when a lot of stuff live does 2k copies, and now that nba elite is shaping up to be good a game they want to copy what live did right

Ok flyboy703. That's fine. But you don't need to post it in this thread. You're starting off really bad..
