Well it sounds like we can actually take charges and shade defenders so I dont think it should be a problem. We have tools on Defense too. The answer wouldnt be to take something out of the offfensive arsenal because its too effective, the solution is to give us the ability to counter the move. It looks like thats what 2k is trying to do.

Double Tap B for spins, B + LS away for stepback.

with the LT (L2) button being the modifier to pull off Isomotion moves, what happens to the bank shot modifier?

You can pass with the Control Stick too. HOLD RB and move RS in the direction you want to pass.

It's an option that you can turn off if you want.

EA should've never let you go man.

Glad they were stupid enough to though.

10/2...it's on.

The shot button is just X... no mod

Wow they completely stole this from live. I always liked the live moves much better than 2k cause they gave u much better controls. It will be interesting to see how live responds to this. In case u guys missed it Mike Wang came from live and added this into 2k. Lol live is probably pissed. But I still give the presentation and the crossover advantage to live cause of ESPN and live had smooth moves. It worked well with elite but the only problem(with crossovers) was that u had to control both hands individually that was really annoying

Thanks Beluba, looking forward to trying the new scheme out. Glad there are options though, always the best way to go for all gamers.
