You really can't do lead passing with icons, only with right stick to really do it.

Fast breaks

Fast breaks

Maybe I'm nt using the right technique but to me it seems cumbersome. How are u guys using it? Do you hold down the right bumper the whole time. Do u tap an let go? I dnt understand why it's so great?

I loved this feature in NBA live 10 but I just seem to get into it with 2k12

As soon as I see my guy open I press R1 (ps3) and move the stick in his direction. It is much quicker than icon passing

I might have to try this right stick passing... it HAS to be much better than directional passing... it's just that using the stick to shoot, I find it intimidating, and am hesitant to pass with the stick... I will try, this may cut down on them stupid turnovers, and my guy throwing it across court, instead of to the wide open cutter in front of them...

Yea this was like one of the best things in NBA Live 10. That and the off ball control. Buuuuuut 2k11 got those both in.

I wish someone would make a video of the benefits of this. Because I tried it an I didn't see the benefit.

Its just like A/X passing except with RB/R1 held down and using the RS to direct the pass. The benefit of doing this is that you will get more animations out of it (in my experience) and I feel the passes are a tad quicker. (Could be placebo though)

The downside to it is the RS accuracy. Don't use it in major traffic, I use it on the fastbreak or if there is a corner or wing shooter open and I will dribble over to set a manual 'screen' and dish out quickly.

You can be moving in one direction while passing in another.

But you can do that with Icon passing too.
The only real advantage I see for right stick passing would be that you don't need to know which player is on which position, or on a fast break who is actually running up the court to pass it to him - in case he got out of the camera angle.
