Controls are horrible

[Paul21694]

I get that change happens and we have to adapt but these controls are terrible, especially for people like me who don't use the right stick for things like dribbling. The post being moved, not only to the left trigger, but having to hold it to maintain post stance, is ridiculous. Trying to pull off decent post moves is so frustrating. We also don't need three separate buttons for passing, seriously.

I just don't think they needed to change the controls. Hopefully they can allow us to map our own buttons at some point because as a post oriented player it's a nightmare to try and play my game right now.

Really you can't hold a trigger ? Took me 10 minutes to get used to the new controls.

Re: Controls are horrible

it's not really any different to holding r2 to sprint or l2 to play intense d, i'm sure if you get your head around that you'll get the hang of it. personally i think the post is much improved.

Exactly and I love the fact that if u haven't dribbled and release the Lt, u get a awesome inside pivot very easily

Re: Controls are horrible

Only control change I don't like is the smart play button is now done with the cross pad instead of L1.

Re: Controls are horrible

I don't mind different pass options - I do not like icon passing because I feel like I am playing a mini-game within the game just to get the game to function properly.

I know some like it because it avoids the passing logic which fails far too often on its own, so I don't begrudge them. I much rather have a better passing system written and implemented with a simple pass button trigger.

PC controls are a separate issue though; 2K has stopped supporting keyboard mapping and since I need that feature for reliable control usage I might not go forward in the series. The scripting software solutions do not work well for me and so are not a solution.

There's always a small adjustment period to the new controls, but i think they're just fine. NBA Live might be more your speed.

Re: Controls are horrible

My only beef with the controls is that every once in a while I'll call a time out when calling a quick post or iso. Not too big of a deal, though.

Re: Controls are horrible

Controls are my favorites since 2K13. Only gripe is, like Goffs said, the Smart Play button being up on the d-pad. But I've adjusted.

and the post controls? Forget about it lol most artificial post controls I've used in a basketball game

Re: Controls are horrible

I didn't like the controls at first, but I went into practice, learned them and I kind of like it. You have to be assertive this year with your skills, I love it.

I've been using LT to dribble since I began playing 2K and it's messed my whole game up. Having dribbling and shooting on the same stick isn't what I'm used to and I've thrown up a few heaves from just trying to dribble. I don't like that the choice has been taken away from me.

LT to get into the post and needing to hold it is the BEST and MOST INTUITIVE control scheme ever. Way better than pressing triangle. Much quicker than pressing triangle to get in and out of the post.

LT, Hold it, into the post. Release it, out of the post.

Options to map the button would be great for users that would use it. Regardless, LT for the post is the best control ever.

So you've used the same controls for 3 years and have never adapted. I feel sorry for you.

I just went on a 15 game winning streak averaging about 5 assists a game and am currently averaging over ten assists a game over the last 15 games or so, breaking 20 the last 2 games with less than 3 turnovers a game. Last year i could put up gawdy assist numbers but kept having horrible turn over numbers.

The passing controls get a huge A+ from a pg with 70 passing. I might not even max my playmaking this year.

Re: Controls are horrible

I'm loving the new controls. Best yet. Especially the passing controls. I'm using things now that have been in the game a while just because the controls are better, and more intuitive.
