I know there are some who have this whole thing mastered with the shot stick just fine. However, I know I'm with the majority when I say that Im NOT ONE OF THEM! So please consider my idea for 2k11 and beyond...
Right now,if u pull up the default control layout u will see that the left trigger/L2 is the "clutch" for isomotion. I want this to become the clutch for activating the shot stick. In all other situations, the right stick is used for dribbling. That's it, sounds simple enough right?
My thing is, I'm running into too many instances where more control over my dribbling would help, ALOT. Like bringing the ball up the court facing full court pressure, or navigating tight drives in the half court. There's a bunch I can't think of right now too. We simply do not need the option to shoot when we're on the opposite side of our basket trying to bring the ball up with these limited dribbling controls.
This will help with the accidental full court heaves and other accidents that happen when we accidently flick the stick.
Other ideas for controls include tapping the clutch for pump fakes instead of trying to half-flick the stick, which also doesn't always go the way u want,especially in tense, close game situations.
I feel like 2k does such a great job, and goes to great lengths to provide us gamers, and lovers of the game alike with an abundance of great looking animations, both in amount, and in variety. They continue to add more every year. I feel like the current control scheme is not pick up and playable, and as I mentioned before, alot of these animations go unused simply because they're too difficult to pull off consitantly, or in the right situations when u want them to be executed. So this idea just allows for more accessibility and allows us to take full advantage of what's offered animation wise.
I'm not saying do away with crossovers on the left stick altogether, just make it so the primary moves are executed with the right stick.
This is truly the best of both worlds, as this has been a gripe I've had about 2k ever since 2k5 when the shot stick was introduced, and isomotion was moved to the left stick. I just haven't ever had a solution for it. Now I do, and I'm excited to see if u guys are with me on this, so we can make a push to get this into the game. If not the default, then at the very least a selectable option.
Ok, enough of me, let's see what u guys think...
