i remember them being much more responsive, and it was less awkward to me controlling my dribble with left button and the left stick than the right stick.

I think it's much better with the right stick for shooting and dribbling.

Honestly 2k13 had the best controls in my opinion if it wasn't for no blocks on dunks, 2k13 would've been goat in the 2k series just my opinion but those controls I miss most.

Honestly, the game felt great when it was first released.

Controls are flawless now imo. Are you talking sega dreamcast nba2k where the only option you had was spin lob a ally oop?

I prefer the old way myself. I liked that you could only post up in the proper context. I'm not sure which 2k brought in the designated post buttons but the button is cheesy for blow by moves to the basket. Contextual posting isn't without its issues as well but I prefer that poison. That said the old school post moves and there controls were way better. The only problem I had was that everyone had the same moves albeit their success with them was different depending on who you used. If a move isn't in someone's repetoire, it shouldn't be in the game. Aside from posting the dribble moves and shot stick being the same has definitely led me into doing one when I want to do the other at times but it's not too bad of an issue. I just feel like things like step backs and leaners were easier with the old setup but I've adjusted for the most part.

Not the actual control scheme was better, but how much more in control of your guy you were in those games. More animations is large reason why it feels like you can't control anything whats going on. However there is still big learning curve with the game and more I play 2k16 more i feel what I have to do for a certain moves etc.

Not only controls were superior or better assigned but also player movement was best IMO in 2k14 (PC edition) , for instance 2k14 crossovers were organic and fluid, you could throw a player on the ground with many different players not just the best ball handlers i remember breaking prigioni ankles with steve blake..IMO 2k14 had best movement and controls only thing that was subpar was graphics
