two button system is flawed in so many ways. the dribbling with the right stick is horrible as well. you dont even have to know the moves and it allowed Yao ming to do countless crossovers !!!

Did you even play live 09 big man can't even dribble without losing the ball.

It is funny because 2K is the game that allows Yao to do all of that foolishness

This is actually a smart move.

I really don't understand the hoopla.

Left stick still = Jumper
Left stick toward the hoop = layup
LT+left stick = Layup off the glass
Turbo = Dunk

Sometimes the best setup is a simple one.

Im skeptic but not completely against it since I still play and enjoy some Live and MM 2003 every once in a while.

@Marcus, just because we don't praise the fact that Live has gone 5 years with the same layup/shot layout that was praised in 2004 doesn't mean we want it changed. I know this is nitpicking a bit but just because there aren't threads talking about how great Y/Triangle is for rebounding and blocking doesnt mean that a majority wants that changed.

The only thing I am worried about with this is what your plans are for the vacant X/Square button on offense.

But still, I trust the current team, it's not like you have guys...from...2k...working...for...you

...hm :P

I had no problem with the previous controls or the new ones, either or works for me.

That's the same system 2K9 tries to implement, and it fails miserably IMO

I am pretty sure

Turbo = Dunk
No Turbo - Layup

Lol as far as i can tell turbo isn't functional in live because even when you press it the players refuse to accelerate an continue jogging

LOL, I've never heard anyone describe anything so accurately

I didn't read anything about this here on OS, but this is some bad news to me. Rather than having a dedicated dunk/layup button and a dedicated shoot button, the controls are all going to be in one button. Mike Wang posted in that thread, and it seems like he's just trying to make the game like 2K (which is a bad thing).
I own 2K9, and you can't dunk from a standstill. You'll shoot a missed layup every time. You have to be running, with turbo, free of defenders, and hit the button at the right time. Otherwise, you'll shoot a layup/pull up jumper.

I thought the two button shot system was great for NBA Live, and I'm really disappointed to hear about this.
If Marcus reads this, please hear my cry for the old system. Or if you're going to go ahead with this one, please at least include the option to use the current control scheme. That includes letting us use that option online in ranked games. Don't sacrifice functionality for the sake of "innovation", and please don't try to add a "shot stick", like 2K has. The stick doesn't even affect the shot in their series, it just acts like the square/x button.

I don't think its bad news at all...Lets see how the game shapes up before we say anything is GOOD or BAD

Jao,

It wasn't that at all. It was an overwhelming response (not just on OS) that our two button shooting system was wack and needed to be changed to one button. Like any decision it is controversial, but we feel it's the right one, and that you guys will like it.

Re: Bad News: '10 to only have 1 shot button for layups, dunks, jumpshots

Yep, as long as we still have clear ways to control how the ball goes into the basket, I'm all for it. Opens up another button for something extra (or something that never should've been absent, like the hop step).

Re: Bad News: '10 to only have 1 shot button for layups, dunks, jumpshots

Agreed with Stumbleweed as usual. Steph, you guys go right ahead and do what you're doing

So your gonna turn the extra button into a hop step right? I wanna finally be able to do some step back J's.

Re: Bad News: '10 to only have 1 shot button for layups, dunks, jumpshots

i wouldn't have changed the mechanic if it meant less control for the end user. Even with 2 buttons there was very little control over what type of shot you would get in live 09, and that was one of the first things to get addressed this year. Less complicated does not equal less control.
I'm very confident you guys will like the shooting mechanics this fall.
