NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

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

Had to throw a PES reference in there, didn't you?

Of course! Seems like 2K has taken little bits from the best of every sports game. The special traits/skills remind me of PES too

On that Conley ankle breaker. Do you have to push LS and RS down to execute a stepback?

Double Tap B for spins, B + LS away for stepback.

I totally agree! It's funny I actually used the word "ape" about the controls in my thoughts and then saw the Gamersutra article. They said they didn't "ape" the Fifa controls, but made a similar one. Bull! They even have a setting to make it the Fifa controls. I'm actually loving how they are saying "this is great, let's adapt it to our game." Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.....

P.S. Got the term "ape" from David Rutter, talking about why his controls ended up looking soooo much like PES'. LOL!!!

Can you actually take charges in this game? It was so hard to take charges I felt in 12.

Thx

they have real time physics engine now which helps with foot planting which makes position on the court realistic and no ice like skating...so charging and blocking calls are gonna be amazing...not to mention mid air collisions

That's for the hopstep button.

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

Did that ever even do anything?

it helped me greatly against users trying to steal the entry pass into the post

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

How about doing escape jumpshot moves as well as in doing different layup moves. That was the default control in doing such (lt + right stick)

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

In a way, I hoping that Beluba has brought some of the "feel" of NBA Live 10, as well. As much as I love 2k, I always felt that Live 10 had a nice "sim" feel to it. It's great to have the free-flowing creativity that the new controls will bring, but I want it not to be too arcadish. There's got to be an emphasis on D and making the players execute. I thought Live10 had a pretty good balance. Heck, I'll say it.... I want NBA2k13 to be NBA Live13, in disguise! ( the NBA Live that would've been if Mike had stayed, that is.....)

Really liked Live 10 ... pre-patch. Once Mike left, the game wasn't the same.

I def. enjoy the R-stick dribbling, off-ball control and play calling in Live 10. Those contact animations in the paint were annoying, and there was no fast break to speak of.

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

Is it just me or does all of this remind you of NBA Elite 11 in terms of new features? Anyway it sounds great, if it doesn't work I can just switch it back. Nice work 2k.

Hope 2k dev read those threads

Im courios how to execute shots made now by LT+ST there was a lot .Hope shotting stick will be fully playable couse its amazing system when you master it fells way better than square button .

How we will get back up ?Now with triangle it is easy to back up even brigging ball up the court when defence is on you ,nba players do that all the time .We shoud control it and do it always with ball staing in the same hand !!!not changing automaticly (sometimes)

How about Triplethreat fakes(they shoul be analog like in live 2003 that was the best system ever,feeld fully controled )

They should back right analog defence like in previous 2k games on ps2 RS right left for left right hand ,maybe up for blocks just use to love that system feel fully controled by me ,steals and cutting passes was feel great,i didnt saw anybody using RS for defence now .

Hope game gets realistic tempo. Just like now you must use mvp and jd mod for quicker offence and defence moves put gameplay speed 49 for realistic ball physics ,and plaers quicness at 47 rest with abbys slidelrs feels way more realictic gameplay ,dribling etc.better respomsivness on shooting dribbling defence passing also look way more real.

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

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?

You can do it either way. I believe holding left too long using shot stick is still l a layup so the left right or right left euro's are all quick moves.

It is a different system You control your distance manually.

Part of the controls are like Elite 11 at the high level with the legs are left stick, hands are right stick but after that they appear to be different. To be honest I think what 2K is doing is probably as good as you can get. To do any and all advance shots you must use the control stick. Legs/direction left stick, offhand is LT and right stick is shooting. Once you decide you want to shoot it is just like real life. You press LT to place your off hand on the ball then you use the right stick to shoot.

• Elite 11 you had to aim and time with their shooting motion with the right stick. If you did that right the shot goes in they called it skilled based. 2K13 you go from dribbling to shooting but must press the LT with the shot stick now called the control stick, or use the shooting button.
• Euro step in Elite you would use the left stick to step left then do a left 45 degree point press on the right stick then up to shoot it and then release. That is how you would do a euro left to right in Elite. In 2K13 you press the LT to go to shot stick then you press left to right on the right stick to do a Euro step left to right. So they are different there, Elite you did the step with your legs, 2K13 you do the steps with the shot.
