NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

[Martstar86]

Straight up the new controls make the game more arcady.
In real ball dudes be doing only like a few moves.. Cross over, in n out, in n out cross over and behind the back. No this behind the back spin move crap out of triple threat lol

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

I always shoot bank shots now... I think L2 is still used for that

In other words, it's automatic (on by default), unless you play with the button (square to shoot). If you play with the other alternate controls, the player would dribble (L2 = dribble modifier). I guess there's no way around it...?

I hope someone from 2K can comment about it.

I wish I had Kinect just to tell my teammates to shoot the ball in MyCAREER...Hope the enhanced, improved AI logic is true and that isn't necessary though...

i wanna know this as well. maybe its the same as last year, move the stick in one direction, and then the opposite way.

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?

Bank shots are automatic now, based on the player's use glass tendency

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

So if I use a guy like Duncan, he would shoot a bank shot every time?

That's not an improvement.

Sorry man I Disagree. This is one of the things that should fall under the signature style of the player IMO. In no situation ever should we see someone like JR Smith shooting bank shots. And I could be wrong, but I don't think it ever provided an advantage in gameplay (it shouldn't if it did)....

No wonder I've been seeing D-Wade bank a shot in every now and again

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.

Moving iso to the right stick opened up some things for us that we couldn't do before, such as sizing up off the crawl dribble. And once the full control stick design is realized, hopefully by NBA 2K14, it will be more clear why we went this direction with controls.

There are impression threads for this.

Mike has been fantastic talking with us here, no need for this kind of comment...

Well that's why there are ratings. If you take that direction floaters could be based on tendencies because there is no way we see Zach Randolph do a Tony Parker's floater.

If Duncan doesn't want to bankshot one of his shot nothing forces him to. This is definately a step backward to me.

Nearly every time. And yeah, bank shots are completely aesthetic.

Yeah he's been fantastic. I didn't mean to be offensive.
