Perfect so as an example if Im thinking about this correctly, some people will have crossovers that go infront of them and some will go between the legs, correct?

I know they are different' Just not sure there is that exact scenario. Probably but I am just being caution so I don't hear "Czar lied and said blah blah blah"
some are real basic and some like crawford have more shake to them.

I hate how everything has to be approved, it's just a video and the demo comes out tonight, so what is it they don't want us to see yet??

Well, no one said it was coming out tonight.

Last I read, Ronnie said the 20th...which could mean 6am, 7am, 3pm, 10:38pm, or 11:59pm September 20th.

cool...thanks man...i've been wanting a more "zoomed out" 2k cam for a while now, and was hoping one would be added, but it just never gets added....

while on the subject of cameras...there's another camera that has the same problem (i can't remember the name, but it's similar to the 2k cam but it rotates to stay behind your player at all times)...i would love to use this camera as well, but it tends to crop off too much of the court to the point that i can only see a few feet around my player...if it could be zoomed out more to always show the entire floor, i would love this camera.

from how it sounds, escape dribble pull ups are taking the place of signature gathers?

With all that you bring to this game and the people playing it, saying you lied and throwing you under the bus like that is far from any of my intentions, trust me. Even if it is just that people have more shake to them than others that is perfectly fine for me, as long as every move doesnt look the same for every player in the game, then im good. Thanks alot!

Hop step is done on the stick but you can just hop step or continue into a shot/layup if you want. Almost everything can be broken out of... almost.

so what direction do you press the stick?

Let's say Demarcus Cousins grabs a rebound in traffic. I wanna do a quick hop step into closer position, pump fake, then go for the layin/dunk

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #10 - Controls

to expand on what the czar posted, Hop steps are built into the shot system now.

So if you're driving toward the basket and want to do a hop step, Hold LT and move the Shot Stick left or right. As your player begins the hop step move, if you keep the Shot Stick held, he'll play out the rest of the hop step layup. But if you center the Shot Stick before he finishes the hop, he'll pump fake at the end of the hop step move. From here, you can do nothing or you can move the Shot Stick again (while the player's pump faking) to shoot a step through layup.

Same if you're in the post. Hold LT and move the Shot Stick away from the rim and to the left or right. This will put your player into the Hakeem Olajuwon hop step jumper move. Center the stick to just do the hop, or keep it held to finish with a jumper.

I think youre talking about the drive camera, as I share the same views about it as you do.

Thanks for the clarification Mike, tomorrow is going to be fun and frustrating trying to to get some these moves down.

This game is just....wow. Amazing

Is there a scenario that dictates everytime I go up against Ray Allen I make him fall using Jamal Crawford? I don't care if it's a canimation I think it's only fair to have in game for realism sake.

I see Practice Mode/Training Camp is going to be my BFF for the first couple of weeks again LOL.

Every year I tell myself, "Man I'm gonna get these controls down pat like my man Mo has them" and then a few months later I got like 6-8 moves down

**JWiLL02** · 09-19-2011, 04:32 PM

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #10 - Controls

Love how hop steps work. So you can hop step with momentum going towards the basket, or around your defender in the post, not through.

Perfect.

I'm not going to hold out hope that it's in the game this year, but how awesome would it be to have a "hangar" mode like Live 10 in the demo to practice all these moves? That could be a demo in itself!

I can dream though!

LOL. I know how you feel. I got most of the post moves down pat but...I could never figure out the timing to get the shot (From mid-range) "flick flick" right. I just said forget this!

Finally. I can already see the escape dribbles being devastating. I'm reasonably sure I'm going to be did dirty by those escape dribbles man

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #10 - Controls

I love how a dev is here answering questions. Love the dedication.

The biggest questions that need to be answered are:

1) Are there still animation 'facial' dunks? I can honestly say that Lebron and Wade were overpowered in 2K11 becaue they could constantly force you into an animation of them dunking on you.

2) Did you fix Derrick Rose's layup package? He only does floaters from medium to close range lol
