NBA 2k14 Dribbling Questions and Tips

Re: NBA 2k14 Dribbling Questions and Tips

these controls are for ABSOLUTE pro stick setting

from stand still live dribble

hesitation stepback
tap left stick to non ball hand then right stick forward

hesitation behind back step back
tap left stick to non ball hand then right stick down

hesitation between the legs crossover
tap left stick to non ball hand then right stick diagonol towards non ball hand

hesitation spin
tap left stick to non ball hand then right stick in circle

hesitation half spin step back
tap left stick to non ball hand then right stick half circle up then right stick down, forward, towards non ball hand, or diagonal/down

try these with escape dribbles to. ex tap left stick to non and then rstick with turbo.
and also if you slow down your tap on the left stick and pressure you will get different dribbles as well.

Re: NBA 2k14's Dribbling questions

sorry for this generic question i didnt see it in the OP, but how do i explode to the rim? i keep going up soft as **** my stats are up overall im a 91 i have some dunk packages and all that selected, am i not setting up right? do i need to juke/hesitate? im always holding turbo.

I always seem to lay up or dunk weak, is it better off this year to use the stick instead of X to dunk?

also is absoloute easier to execute dribble moves, rather then camera relative?

Thats your issue. Moves have windows - tap sprint when you want to attack with your move.

If you're on PS3 you can send me a friend request (JerzeyReign) so I can see what you're doing and explain it better and show you.

Here's a video Jersez made for NBA 2k13. Everything still applies for 14. My technique varies slightly from his but we get similar results. You should be able to grasp his concept pretty easily but if not my info is above. He may be on here sometime this week (jersez)

Re: NBA 2k14 Dribbling Questions and Tips

Can you take control of an off-ball player during a regular head-to-head game, or is this just a feature for alternate modes?

Mike Wang's offensive offball controls in NBA Live 10 in my opinion, were the most innovate, intuitive/fluid, brilliant, fun, and realistic addition to any sports video game since I started playing games in the late 1980's. It finally opened up video basketball to allow real basketball to take place. I could never pin my finger on what exactly was missing from video basketball until I saw this. It opened everything, and every possibility.

I'm not waxing poetic here when I can say with confidence that this feature was nothing short of ground-breaking. Naturally we humans will think, read, and "see" basketball opportunities faster than can be translated into a button-commanding execution, so this is EXACTLY what is needed to fluidly transition a thought in your mind into instant execution on the court.

It let's you play "real basketball" and seize opportunities in real time. More importantly it creates opportunities for completely organic situations. If I had to sum up my urgency in one sentence for this feature it would be: It was one of the all-too-few sports game moments where you can proudly proclaim "I DID THAT!" What could be better than to read and react at will, and in completely organic situations in a sports game? Is there anything more satisfying or rewarding than that? That's the one characteristic that we all hope and seek for in video game competition bliss.

Picture these actual scenarios that I pulled off back then. I'm playing online, the lane is unclogged and I see nobody guarding Jason Richardson - so I'd take control of Jason Richardson (2010 mind you), cut through the open lane, call for the ball and lay it up. It was intuitive. I didn't even have to think! I saw what needed to happen and made it happen, instantly.

Or take this example. I'm watching a lot of Suns and taking notice that Grant Hill was automatic from midrange in real life that year. So I'm playing online, I'm ready to get Hill involved after a certain point. I'd take control of Grant Hill, call for a screen, run to an open spot, call for the ball, and drain the open 15-footer because that's what I saw on TV when I watched my Suns. That's another part of this whole thing for me - it's honestly just wanting to recreate what I see in real life.

This feature was the biggest reason I could recreate what I saw on TV against opponents. Additionally, it just adds the ability to "create a play" while freelancing. Sometimes, when you're on offense and nothing's going on to your liking, what could be better than organically producing a real life basketball play on the fly?

The shot clock is rapidly winding down, you've got 4 seconds and panic. What's more satisfying, intuitive, and more importantly, realisitic then performing what I've described instead of chucking an ill-advised ugly shot?

It let you create unique, organic, one-of-a-kind plays and on-command. Every situation completely unique. It's an option drenched in REALISM that lends itself to REAL basketball. That's why it was fun, because it let me play in real time.

It was like listening to hair-metal and Boy George for 10 years and suddenly Nirvana comes on the radio for the first time. It was like "holy crap, I didn't know we needed this, but now I can't live without it. This is the only way!"

Just from a marketing standpoint alone, it would be profitable to tout this "all possibilities are open" control. All sports video games have been trying to get to that point for years and years: unique, one-of-a-kind moments that factor in speed, momentum, etc. That's a HUGE draw. Well I'm telling you, it already exists! Mike Wang already created this and it's in NBA Live 10. EA may own the rights to however it worked properly, but no doubt - they do not own this fundamental basketball principle.

In addition to the "open world" possibilities, an experienced real-life player or long-time NBA fan should translate into an advantage sometimes, if only for that one possession/opportunity if/when presented. This off-ball control is a true evolution in the right direction: my basketball mind seamlessly and instantly turning an idea or opportunity from my brain into an executed move on-screen That's basketball! See something? Make it happen right now. Being given the ability to read and react at will is extremely empowering yet does no harm or does not skew the balance, and should trump mastering "the code" or the video game. I thought we were really moving forward with that!

Not trying to whine, I'm just extremely passionate about this feature. It is SO important. As a full grown adult and parent, I'm not going to lose any sleep over this, and over the past 12 hours have started to accept that this may not be in the game. All I ask is that Beluba acknowledges that yes, this is important, and should be an upcoming priority.

Re: NBA 2k14 Dribbling Questions and Tips

Since BELUBA seems to have the 411 why do they keep changing. There so much more you can do when you can use R3 for dribbling and use L2 to go straight into your shot. When I need a quick shot like a dunk off the dribble I use turbo and square. But I had ally oops down to an art and now I have to change because they now need L2?? Why can't they just change to x+sq like last year. It was something different the year before.
And I tried the default but it's not as easy as tap R3 to dribble move and hold to shoot (because it is more accurate than square) because it's insufficient. You tap it, it's a move but it changes to shot out the blue (because it apparently wasn't a quick enough "tap"). Is much less control though helpful to a noob to PnP. Got to be a way to keep my oops without compromising my play learned thru loyalty to the 2K brand and by learning brand new instincts, yes?
Thanks in advance to BELUBA

Re: NBA 2k14 Dribbling Questions and Tips

HAS ANYONE HEARD ABOUT ANY BATCH UPLOAD FOR ALLY OOP FOR THE 2013 SETTINGS? (E.G. Not default but isomotion/shot)

I thought Belluba would answer but any info you guys may have would be appreciated...

Re: NBA 2k14 Dribbling Questions and Tips

Is there a way to do a step back jumper without moving laterally? I mean i think it's pretty dumb how we can only do step backs while moving laterally. A lot of players like James Harden and Paul George do it in a variety of ways.

I'm looking for a way to step back while dribbling, but from a stand still position.
