PC Controls need to be fixed for 2K11

[Tha_Kid]

From the IGN Review:

For some reason, 2K10 doesn't display any of the 360 icons, even though the game clearly recognizes the controller. Instead, it substitutes the letters A through D, as well as LF1 when you're pulling up your icon passing. This is completely confusing, particularly because it doesn't correlate cleanly to the controller, leaving you at times guessing whether you've actually hit the right button to pass to the man you want or perform the action you want to do. For example, you can't have the tip off icon be on the Y button and then suddenly without any explanation shift it to the B button, but the game frequently shuffles icons without warning. Keyboard controls aren't nearly as responsive as a gamepad (obviously, especially when it comes to isomotion), so you're essentially stuck with this clumsy, awkward control scheme. Plus, the icons look horrible, which is particularly jarring to the visuals on and off the court.

This is only part of the problem. Here is the accompanying screenshot:


This is the only control scheme available in 2k9 & 2K10. No quick pick & roll control by pressing B (on 360 controller) nor hopstep/spin hopstep by pressing Y. Hopstep instead is mapped to tapping X while moving (so tapping the shot button) and the function of the triggers and bumpers are switched as well. The triggers and bumpers and can be switched back, but then Isomotion moves that require both LT+RT to be held down won't function. This isn't some PC issue that can't be worked around as every Games For Windows title on PC has full support of the xbox 360 gamepad. PC users deserve the same gameplay experience and control enhancements as their console brethren in 2K11.

Re: PC Controls need to be fixed for 2K11

well we dont have the 3pt glitch or any other nagging issues that the consoles had after their patches so we arent that far behind the consoles..


anyway, to use both triggers download and use XBCD drivers. It will turn the 360 controller into a plain controller and let you use the triggers as digital buttons or on separate axis'.

all 2k needs to do is use xinput for the controllers. I messaged the support teams about it after 2k9 and again this year....hopefully they catch on
