NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

So now that the game has been out for a week, how is everyone shooting? Are more people using "X", or the LT+RS (double tap for advanced shots)?

I have been using the RS for shooting exclusively ever since they implemented it, but something about the controls this year has me using "X" most of the time outside of the post game. Using "B" to pull off hop step shots just feels quicker and more responsive than the double-tap RS method. I still use RS on free throws and in the post though.

What's the consensus?

for drives to the basket I use the shot stick. Double tapping feels better when driving, whereas if I want to do the rip-over, step backs and hop jump shots i use the hop button with the shot button. I feel double tapping for those hop jump shots messes up with my timing, the hop button plus the shot button just gets me in the rhythm better.

Yeah, when I first started playing the game I was using the shot stick. After going through training camp, I tried to force myself to learn using "X" to shoot. However I'm back to wanting to use the shot stick for certain things. "X" is better for hop jumpers, rip through jumpers, stepback jumpers, and spin shots. However LT+RS just feels more natural for jumpers off screens, layups, dunks and post shots.

Especially on layups, I don't like how you can't control which hand you go up with if you use "X". Using RS to control handedness on layups and dunks just feels amazing, always has. It also feels better with changing your shot mid-air, whereas with "X" you just tap "X" again while in the air and I guess it auto adusts the shot for you.

I'm surprised they only give "X" shooting controls in the training camp. The shot stick has been such a huge part of the 2K series and such an advantage as releasing the stick actually feels pretty immersive, like you are flicking your wrist on the shot. Also the directional freedom it provides. Surprised they would seem to suggest using "X".

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

the post game is really frustrating me this year.

for some reason, im missing most of my Hooks in the post. i dont know if its just my timing or what but i cant seem to make them. and this is with Gasol and Howard. im literally right in front of the hoop and im still bricking them.

i tried holding the stick until he actually releases the ball, brick.

any tips anyone? Beluba?

my shooting sliders are on sim All Star.

Hook shots haven't been consistant since 2 years now. Maybe that's because there isn't a real counter to it. I find that if you fake right (while dribbling in the post) and hook shot left very near of the restriction half circle (Not sure how you call it exactly) it has greater chance going in. But still I don't think there is a logic behind it. You only have to go in Free style practice to see that there isn't a logic behind it, press Y to be in the post up position, and try to do wide open hook shot with Shaq. He won't even make 50% of them. Pretty sure he should almost make a 100% of them.

Pushing the Left stick to the right of the basket and pressing the shot button will trigger a right handed lay up and vice versa for pushing it to the left

thanks bro.

u might be right but when i did them in 2k12 i made my share of them. the problem was that u couldnt pull them off consistently because the game would always think i was trying to input left or right when i was actually inputting up & left and up & right. then on top of that, whenever u got near the charge circle and u tried to do a Hook over the shoulder that was parallel to the baseline you always got that ugly *** contact shot animation.

now i can do them but i cant make them. i really dont wanna raise the Close shot sliders cuz shooting percentages can already be high at times. smh

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Only thing to do is to really not attempt them too often. It's really frustrating when you have a huge missmatch in the post like Ray allen on Howard and you go for the hook shot and he bricks it lol. I just do it from time to time because it's simple and it looks cool. Like I said I think faking one side (with RS while dribbling in the post) to create space and doing a hook shot the other side increase the chance of making it.

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

Wish I had an Xbox with bigger memory, so that I could record highlights. In Team Up, I fooled two human defenders with a half-spin jumper with Brandon Roy. It was so nice. I got them off the floor with the half spin and then I just went back the other way and swished it from about the free throw line. As soon as I get MyPlayer to a better rating, I'll be killing dudes on Blacktop Online. Too bad they couldn't give us more than 2 camera views. Player lock is perfect for this kind of mode.

This has been a HUGE problem for me!

I play exclusively with the Kings and still have not made ONE post shot with Demarcus Cousins. Only faceup shots.


Every post move I make I brick 100% of the time!!!!!


Beluba this needs fixing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


maybe this deserves its own thread

How do you do what Kobe is doing at 0:27 and 0:38?

If the defender is crowding you, and you are protecting ball (Post up button) then push right stick away from defender.

Re: NBA 2K13 Advanced Controls

I've never been more frustrated with the passing.. I hate relying on the A button and the computer guessing at who I want to pass the ball to, and in the past I've used the RB+RS passing which was perfect, but now I'm turning it over left and right because I'm either not passing it to the correct player or the icon passing takes too long to input

is it just me or is there something stupidly easy that I'm overlooking?? This is pissing me off

Apologize if you already tried this but there's an option under controller settings that allows RB+RS to switch between direction and zone, that might make a difference.

Yea I've tried it, it just seems the RB+RS passing this year is less responsive and unpredictable compared to last year.. Not liking it so far
