NBA 2K13: Top Five New Controls

[RaychelSnr]

NBA 2K13 has been out for six days. Not only is this basketball simulation impressive, but it’s just downright fun. The authenticity of the way players actually play like their real-life counterparts is incredible. Not only is the computer great at emulating real-life players, but the way that the user can now control players makes the game that much better. A whole new control scheme has graced the NBA 2K series, and has pushed the game to a whole new level.

Here are my top five control changes in NBA 2K13...

The manual bounce pass being added is simple and sexy at the same time. It just looks good when a guy cuts to the hoop and a well time bounce pass is delivered for the dunk.....Love it!!

[DBMcGee3]

Crazy that they ever removed that manual bounce pass to begin with, or the hop step button for that matter. Glad they came to their senses and got these features back in the game. Right stick dribble is so awesome, I don't care if they stole it from Live. Completely changes the game for me.

I really enjoy the right analog stick dribbling this year. These controls are the best they've had in a long time.

I agree. I'm having so much fun with this one! Only older 2K's (2K2/2K3/2K7) made me feel as much fun playing 2K basketball.

I Love nba2k13 to the fullest. When are we going to ever see the college hoop series again

Manual Bounce Pass wins easily for me. I rarely even use the right stick dribbling but it is all awesome. The new controls have grown on me and its a whole lot of fun.

Manual bounce pass is definitely the biggest for me. Makes it possible to take advantage of fast break situations now.

Why is everyone so amazed by the flop button. They had it in 2k12. All you had to do was press the take charge button, the flick the right stick away towards your back. It has me perplexed that people never knew that

This is correct. I remember doing a flop with Kendrick Perkins in 2k12

[teebee]

I flopped all game long last year, its just easier to do it this year

[mgsmith119]

I found it very easy to Hop-Step in 2K12. All you had to do was push the Right stick the right direction as you were driving to the hoop. As long as you let go of the Right stick before your player landed he would stop, allowing some pretty effective fakes.

[DJ]

I was very glad they brought back the hop-step button. One thing I do miss is the signature gathers that were in 2K11. Anyone know why they never expanded on that and just removed it all together?

Manual bounce passing is very clutch and while the old alley-oop controls weren't hard, I like the change to the shoot+pass combo this year.

[Joka2122]

I really appreciate the addition of the forward momentum shots being a new feature. You can also set yourself up to run a grab the rebound off the shot. I also appreciate that they've updated players shots like Carmelo Anthony and the likes. They've even tweeked shooting so that at the buzzer you have a better ability to get your shot off with multiple types of new animations.

Yea, this is the most fun I've had with 2K basketball since Dreamcast.
