Re: NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

amazing, i'm super excited!!! One question, MIke Wang are you human? This seems to be other-worldly upgrades my man!

With all due respect to other devs who currently work on or have previously worked on an NBA simulation, Mike Wang is just the best in the business at what he does. History speaks for itself, the one year he went over to design NBA Live it was by far the best NBA Live game this generation then the very next year he designs 2K11 and thats arguably the best sports simulation of all time.

EDIT: Dont wanna downplay the rest of his development teams from Live 10 and his years at 2K. Obviously they know basketball and have followed his lead so big ups to them as well. Oct 2nd cant come fast enough.

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

Did that ever even do anything?

It did a lot for me, if your opponent plays on ball defense is pretty useful

Any chance we'll see the signature gathers return this year? I liked using them in 2K11 (Y button).

I'm really looking forward to the R-stick dribble control. I have no issues going back to using the shot button, but it's nice to know the Shot Stick will still be there if and when I want to use it.

Mike, man, u almost put a tear in my eye when I read about this earlier. I love u ,man? No homo. Lolol. I've been wanting true analog dribbling in this series for the longest and what u did with them in Live 10 was incredible. Even a friend of mine who came over and played that demo, at that time, was blown away by the controls and he HATES bball vid games. He didn't want to stop playing it even tho he had come over to play some Madden, which we never did do. Lol.

At any rate, I am TOO excited for 2K13. Never felt this way about this series. Demo, now!!

Re: NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

In the default control settings, will the shot button still be just X on the 360? Or will it be LT + X?

I'll be using default settings most likely, but I forsee alot of online users in the pause menu changing their controller settings. Hopefully those settings can be saved this year.

People need to learn how to read fake passes are still in the game but it's done differently

Finally a control scheme for those of us who aren't fighting game masters! Not even LeBron can stop 2K now.

I agree. Im decent with ISOmotion but I could be alot better. There is so many time when I try to do a spin move but, because I dont make a perfect circle and ISOmotion being mapped to the same stick as player movementinstead I end up running in a circle

This is gonna be sweet

Re: NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

So hotstep/sidestep/backstep can be performed with a button... but also with the right stick + LT ?

Re: NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

All the news today has been good to read so far except for the hopstep having its own button again. That was abused heavily in 2k11. Would be nice if a user kept using the hop step button too often that he would get called for traveling on certain occasions to create a risk for reward.

Awesome to hear about the variety of options available for all the different type of players. Seems this game has been engineered for freedom.

Hopefully that's where taking a charge can come into play or real time physics.

Beluba just said " Throw the stick left to right for a left to right Euro, Double tap the Stick to the left to HOP STEP to the left, etc." please read before you post
