NBA 2k16 Super Advanced Moves (Developer Input Needed)

[Wolverines05]

I haven't played NBA 2k since 2k13. Before playing a game in 2k16, I want to master the controls. The problem is that on the surface, 2k16 is lacking a wide variety of moves that were present in 2k13. Without an in-game tutorial to properly inform players of the deep control scheme, it is near impossible to figure this stuff out on my own. Yes there is an advanced control scheme available in the game's manual and online, but compare it to 2k13's advanced controls scheme. There is a lot missing now that was once in 2k13. My assumption is that 2k would not remove such moves, (I'll present what is missing below) but rather that they are hidden from the user. So please use this thread to submit your knowledge of hidden tips and tricks in NBA 2k16. My hope is to update this thread and break down each advanced control scheme by category, (passing, dribbling, shooting, defense, etc) ultimately followed by a video illuminating the game's more concealed maneuvers.

As for a visual aid depicting the difference in possible moves, (per the game's manuals) compare and contrast the control schemes from NBA 2k16 to NBA 2k13.

So let me begin.

Shooting:

Standing Floater?
1 dribble pull up?
Ripover jumper?
Hop jumper?
Snatchback jumper?
Hop Step? ***
Spin Dunk?
Up and Under shot?***

Others??? Please chime in if you have more questions.

Dribbling:

Stutter step? (Used to be up on right stick; now that motion performs an in and out)
Standing in and out?
crawl dribble?
dribbling between legs or behind back quickly?

Post Game:

Faceup drives?
Hook vs Fade Vs Shimmy Shot?
Dropstep left vs right?
Stepback from post?


Those are my questions for right now. Please post any comments or questions you may have as well. If you have questions concerning defensive controls, post those as well. I'll update thread to incorporate questions and answers to questions!

I dont feel like answering every question, but everything is in the game besides hop jumper. Everything can be found in controls.

I dont doubt that everything is in the game, but theyre certainly not in the controls section... unless im missing something entirely. There seems to be no hop step button like before. also tons of shots are not listed in the manual, like snathcack/ripover jumper. or for example, in the dribbling section, there is nothing on the cross half spin or stutter. maybe this is a matter of me not understanding terminology; perhaps these moves are listed but are under different "names." still, if you compare the 2k13 advanced controls with 2k16, 2k13 has wayyyy more options. so something must be missing. or i might be crazy

Tap X/Square while holding the left stick int he desired direction to do hop steps.

Every move from 2K13 is there and more.

Here is the online manual.

The paper manual that comes with the games nowadays are a joke.
