NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Can you give me some tips on how to pull off an Euro step? I read the control stick instruction and tried it with Dwade over 20 games yesterday. I did it just once.

Also is floater samething as runner? Maybe shot selection is contextual?

Please Help me out:
Are these (euro, floater, runner) moves something I should be able to do with a defender in front of me? I'm asking this because I kept trying it with a defender in front of me but don't know where is the sweet spot to initiate the move while driving.

Runner = driving shot done in the paint
Floater = standing shot done in the paint

The commands are different. For runner, you have to be moving and in range, then hold LT(L2) and move the Right Stick away from the hoop. For the Floater, hold LT(L2) and move the Right Stick toward the hoop while standing in the paint.

For both the runnner and the euro, you can do them in traffic but it's important to have enough space. If you collide with a defender before you get the shot to initiate, the game will think you're not moving fast enough and you won't get the right shot. You can also try double tapping X(Square). It's a little easier than a double stick throw.

I basically memorized the dribble and the shot stick already. I'm already chaining together moves. Key is read your defender and also look where your momentum is taking you. It also wouldn't hurt if you knew how to pull off each move so you could react better.

The only thing I'm consistently having problems is the basic crossover. It's like 50 with me, I'll get it sometimes and then sometimes I'll get the behind the back. But I noticed when you want to cross if you flick the stick in more of a upper diagonal motion you'll get the cross.

Anyway you can post the controls in excel format Mike?

Thanks again for your help!

Edit: Whoot I can do Euro at will now! But my runner is not good at all. It's always resulting in jumper

As for floater, would it be beneficial if I use hop step to come to complete stop first?

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Posting up on the perimeter and protecting the ball are essentially the same thing, both in real life and in video games.

yes, they are essentially the same, but didn't the 2k12 'protect ball' button actually switch directions depending on where the defender was coming from? (I don't have 2k12 anymore, unsure of what the behavior was).

So in 2k13, i'm beyond the 3pt line, When i press Tri/Y, it goes into postup mode, but it doesnt switch directions when the defender is trying to swipe.

I'm also unsure of how to use the other 'protect Tri/Y moves' mentioned in the section.

@beluba some key questions about classic controls..

When you say classic controls, does this mean 2k12 style or you adjust accordingly?
And will playing with classic controls change the games overall natural flow or experience?

I still need to get used to it.

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Man, I did some crazy, half spin, behind the back, spin out the other way, and then smoothly into a full spin thing when the clock went out. Totally shook Harden with D-Wade. Oh man, if i can figure out how to do that at will...

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Not so much technical as they didn't fit in the year 1 design of the Control Stick. Most of those sizeups were move chains and didn't break out into individual moves very well. I have some ideas for how to incorporate them (in some form) into the next iteration.

Thanks so much for the response, Mike.


I figured that might have been it since the new shot stick is moving towards a 1 to 1 implementation where we trigger individual moves. I really like that we can manually throw it between the legs if it wasn't in 2K12. I just wish I was more consistent at triggering it vs. the behind the back animation and vice versa.


It still would have been nice to be able to trigger the Signature Size Ups using the slow movement and RS direction combos or double RS forward and double RS back since those two mappings are still open.

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

I don't know if this is the place to ask about it, or if it has been covered already but... Shooting a bank shot - is it automatic now? Is there a button for it?

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Whats the reason for the change in controls? Is there some benefit I'm missing? As of right now, I don't feel like it adds anything new to the game, these are all moves we have been doing for the last 3 or 4 years now.

I am really enjoying the gameplay changes mostly the on ball D, but the new controls seem like an unneeded change imo.

@raiders81tim


So true man.. Like Its impossible to pull off a move that you want.. It's like out of chance.
I'm def going with the old controls. People like these cuz there all cheesy and it makes it easier to get to the wrack. What's up with the new shot stick thing to?! Lol like its not smooth or natural at all, no I will not use X as shoot either.. I played college ball and shooting is natural and quick just like how the SHOT STICK was.

I may be complaining but it's a big deal to a lot of people and I've been playing 2k since genius. Meaning dream cast

ITS L2+ SQUARE ON PS3

But if I play with the default controls (L2 = shot modifier), then what? L2 is pressed anyway.
