NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

You have to be engaged by a defender, then pull away on the stick. Also, the quick shoulder fakes without a live dribble from the post look a lot better this year,, namely the one faking baseline.

Mike or anyone for that matter, is it possible to in-and-out stationary without hesitating first?

And has anyone been able to successfully pull off the half-spin jumper every time? I'm following the directions but most times I end up with either a pull-up or just a regular spin.

For the standing in and out, RS toward off hand to start a cross then immediately move the left stick toward the ball hand before the ball leaves his hand. The moving in and out is done the same way. Basically, think of it as moving in the opposite direction of your crossover.

So glad that Face-up Drive animation is back. Excited to perform it with Dwight!

And also, Step back shots from post up are more fluid than ever.

To bad he is with the Lakers now. Trust me. You will fall in love with Dwight especially with post controls being a lil bit easier. I have always been a big time Magic fan, but the reason Dwight became my favorite player in the NBA was because of 2k. Back during 2k11, when the post controls were over hauled, Dwight became unstoppable.

This is from my post in the impressions thread about the face up drive animation.

I found my go to move. In the post while holding the ball move LS toward basket + Y for faceup drive, Hold R2 + double tap O for spin dunk. I tried and tried to do this all last year but it was nearly impossible due to the fact that after spinning in the post, you had to rotate the stick to spin. The controls was just to clustered to do this. Also with the faceup drive, it makes it look so beautiful. Its the move players like Dwight, and Amare always do where they faceup out of the post, jab step one way, spin another way, then finish with a dunk. Unstoppable with the right player.

This is what im talking about, except Dwight does not take a jab step after facing up in this vid.
Hmmmmm.....I smell cheese from Dwight...

UMM perfect and everything is contextual, looks like a NBa game at almost every dribble. don't really have too much more to say....perfect.

great post

It's because that the dribbling mechanic is camera relative...I know what you mean with the hesitation dribble...very annoying but I think once you switch the controls to absolute we should yield better results...

Said the same thing in the impressions thread...I think people will fare a lot better when switching...

I have a question about the new dribbling. Sometimes the ball handler doesn't explode out of the move, for example I'll use a couple of size ups(Idk if you still call them that) and when I get the defender off balance, he doesn't explode out of the move. So what do I have to do, to get those explosive launches?

Make sure you're holding Turbo when you move the LS in the direction you want to drive. Not all sizeup moves have explosive launch branch points, but most do. Best thing to do is to go into practice mode with the full game and experiment.

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Sorry don't know if this has been posted, but is there a PS3 version of the controls?

[Blessin]

I was able to get the controls right almost off the bat. That's what's up! It's really fluid and just works. Andthing you want to do, you can do it.

Okay I just have two more questions. I remember around E3 footage time, you post on here that you were unhappy with isomotion. Are you happy with the new dribbling system?

My second question is could you possibly give us a tip on using the new control stick dribbling? So we can have something to practice during in the demo.

Thank you for your time and the hard work you've put in over the years.
