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

The fans are ecstatic about this info, Beluba...

NBA 2K13's defenders ankles - not so much.

You're such a tease.

Can't wait to get my hands on this thing. Can't wait to spend time tryeing to figure it all out. CANT WAIT.

I don't think we can compare this new dribbling system to live 10 or elite, especially elites. I think this will be a never before seen type of system. Just look at the d.rose spin to cross, along with the ability to dribble off of contact.

I agree the only thing they have in common is the legs are the left stick hands are the right stick after that 2K13 dribbling seems to be far advanced. That Rose move was sick. I think this will be the best controlled basketball game to date from the looks of it. Shooting control appears to be on par with dribbling control and they both appear to be easy enough or accessible for anyone.

I can see what Rob Jones was saying earlier that had people mad that the casual gamer will be able to do moves and think they are really doing something, but the really advance moves you have to really know what you are doing. So I think this game will be casual friendly because the dribbling and basic shooting are natural but us hardcore 2K heads will take it to another level

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

This is something I have to try out. I have never been good with Iso-motion.

At 1st I was going to do the alternate way, where I dont have to press L2 to shoot. But, now I am warming up to the new way.

If I am able to get the dribbling down this year, I will just go back to button shooting.

I wish for the demo we could just shoot around to get used to the completely new offensive controls but I doubt it will happen.

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.

It kind of does. The difference is that 2k doesn't have hockey guys making their game lol

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

That's for the hopstep button.

It looks like it does both that is what he said though I copied and paste what he said for a stepback.

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

so idk if this has been answered. The biggest concern is signature moves. Is everyones cross up going to look the same with the new control stick? Am I going to be able to pull off the same moves with Dwight howard as I can with Kobe like I can in live?

No way man the control is different but centers will not have a guard or wing dribble package. So if you try to do the same isomotion with Dwight Howard or Bynum it will be sluggish just as it is in 2K12 and you would be more likely to lose the ball. That is why you have signatures in 2K

I doubt it. They didnt provide a good demo since 2k8-2k9 if I remember correctly...

It would be nice to have shoot around but what it is a must in my view is to have at least 2 cuarters of 4 mins (at least) and the posibility to call timeouts, subs, choose team, etc...

Cheers! ;-)

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

Yes. The Shot Stick is more gesture based now. 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.

OMG I remember asking for this exact thing back on the 2k forums before 2k11. THANK YOU

this is huge for me if they actually pulled this off...for years now i have wanted the ability to break contact animations with dribble moves, so that you could get briefly bumped but then instantly regain control of your dribble without having to wait for the contact animation to finish...in previous 2k's, i always wanted to pull of something where a guy starts to bump me, but then i want to do a spin move to avoid the "full bump" and spin off of the defender mid-bump...but in previous 2k's, you always had to wait for the bump animation to play out and wait for your player to "regain control"...i'm really hoping 2k13 pulls of "breakable contact" this year.

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

BTW will the D Wade pullback move work this year? By that I mean will defenders fall down if they are sprinting forward to keep up on defense and then try to turn and run back?

The move is useless in 2k12.

Also, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT HOPSTEP DOESN'T WORK WHEN PEOPLE ARE STANDING THERE. IN 2K10/11 IT WAS A GO TO CHEESE TACTIC

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

I'm really curious Beluba, how will player separation function this year? It seems like we haven't had a go-to control for separation. I feel like defenders always warp into me, unless I start out moving faster than them, from a stand-still position it's hard to create space to burst through. Any thoughts?

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

incidentally, will 2k keep classic controls in? 2k12 had options of either control 1, control 2, control 3, etc. I hate to do everything with the analog stick. Or else its back to Live 10.
