NBA 2K11 Isomotion/Shot Stick Help (360)

Re: NBA 2K11 Isomotion/Shot Stick Help (360)

how can i take control of the person without the ball so that i can cut to the hoop for an alley-oop???

Not sure if it works in the demo but from this insight:

2. Total Control Passing – Adding versatility to our game, especially for advanced users, is always a must and passing presents great opportunities for that. In 2K11 we’re adding a passing feature called Total Control Passing, which gives users the ability to take control of a teammate off the ball while also determining when and where he will be thrown the ball. While holding the right button (on the 360; R1 on the PS3), the user will be presented with the passing icon buttons, at which point holding one of those buttons allows for the user to manually control the movement of the corresponding player with the left stick. Releasing that button while keeping the right button held (on the 360; or R1 on the PS3) results in a pass to the user. If the user releases the right button (on the 360; or R1 on the PS3) while keeping the receiver’s button held, the user will temporarily take control of the player until he calls for a pass.

@BobbyCrougar... yep, i read that but it doesnt seem to work for me... hopefully it is just the demo and its not just me missing simple instructions lol...

can somebody explain to me what they mean by "FLICK FLICK" moves. i'm new to 2k, and i'm giving it all i got to learn as much as i can b4 the game drops.

Take a look at this post up moves video. The video term "tap" is the same as "Flick" it's just gamer slang that many have grown to use. Basically a "Flick" is a stick input movement used to initiate a series of other stick movements. I guess a more technical definition would be moving the stick then allowing the stick to go back to a neutral position.


Correct me if I'm wrong OS'ers

anyone able to alley-oop dunk? I can pull of alley-lay ups, but no dunks. Probably done 10-12 alley oops...all I'm doing is left trigger and 'b' during appropriate moments.

Iso motion dribbles are easy to do, very easy, they are within the flow of the game, considering you know what you are doing, alot of gamers don't know when to apply a certain move, alot of guys dont know offense, alot of guys don't know concepts of basketball, everyone doesn't see the same game on the court, some people only see threes and dunks, while others see players coming off screens and backdoor movement, two man game. On the Lakers the only ball handler in the demo you get to use is Kobe, Fisher doesn't have a high dribble rating, so you can't practice these moves with the demo, wait until you get the game, and take a pg into the practice gym.
Iso motion moves should be planned while you are on the attack, you gotta see the space on the court, and initiate your move based on the space. crossover, spin move, step back jumper...EASY TO DO.
Hesitation, Hesitation cross, layup...Easy to do.
Call for a pick, when it comes, crossover between the pick and the defender, step back and then pass to the pick roller...Easy to do.

Ive been playing 2K since dreamcast, and I have always been comfortable with Iso Motion, nothing hard or complicated here. Iso Motion been around since 2k basketball (2k4). Its been on the LS since 2k6.

Not hard at all, gotta just know what you doing, watch the ball and what hand its in, which is what you should be doing anyway. And Camera relative is a better way to Iso and Shot stick.

Hey all,

This is my first year playing 2k, and I'm having some trouble pulling off any moves in the post during the demo. I can back down a defender with LT & RT, but can anyone explain how to drop step, spin out of the post up position, or fake one direction and perform a turn around jumper?

Much obliged

What will be the difference with absolute controls. Can someone help me with this because i know the way it is now to do things depend on which goal you are at and where you are at on the floor and which way you are facing.

And absolute controls are the opposite of what u said. The controls to pull off moves won't change regardless of whatever camera angle u choose or where u are on the floor. Down on the the ls will always get u a floater in the lane, left or right on the ls will always get u a left or right hand layup, left trigger plus left to right or vice versa on the ls will always get u a basic crossover and so on.

Re: NBA 2K11 Isomotion/Shot Stick Help (360)

Imo though playing this game with the controls on absolute is absolutely ********, especially if your playing on the default camera view. It makes the movements unrealistic. My suggestion is if u are having trouble pulling off moves in the game, just change your view to 2k cam or some other up and down view once u get the retail copy.

Most people already playing this game probably know this, but I figured I'd throw this out there for the newer guys who are having trouble chaining moves together.

*NOTE* The simpler, the better. As using a large sequence of moves will burn your stamina quickly, it's better to use shorter moves and react off of the defense than to follow a mental script of what you should do every time. Even though I highlight using a sequence of moves in this post, it's only to help show you what you can do, what you can pull out of your back pocket so-to-speak.

1 strategy that I use when thinking of moves is imagining a "flowchart" or a "tree" of moves that you can use. It helps me to break down piece-by-piece what I can do. The first step is to know if you want to drive or shoot. By shooting, I mean either pulling up from Mid or taking a three, but it'll take more effort to get to Mid-Range so I'll just talk about that.

The next step is realizing whether your dribble is Live or in the Triple Threat position. With the Triple Threat, you have more options, but the moves are still pretty much the same. I won't (and can't, there's a million combinations) highlight every move, but I'll put examples so you understand the basic gist...

1. Live Dribble - From here, there's only 3 "startup moves" you can use, the Hesitation, the Size-Up, or the Normal/1st-Step Drive (again, you can chain these how you want)...

--------------1. Hesitation
-----------------a. Hesitation Cross
-------------------i. Double-Cross
---------------------1. Layup Left
-------------------ii. Pull-Up (mid)
-----------------b. Step-Back Jumper

--------------2. Size-up (any direction)
----------------a. Crossover
-------------------i. Hopstep Layup

--------------3. 1st-Step
----------------a. Explode (ball-hand)
-------------------i. Spin
----------------------1. Signature Gather
-------------------------a. Jumpshot
----------------b. Explode-Cross (opposite ball-hand)
-------------------i. Step-Back and Go
----------------------1. Floater



2. Triple Threat - Triple threat has the same "startup moves" plus its own 3 (Jab-Step, Step Over, Pull Back). Lets say you explore your options with the Triple Threat this time...

--------------1. TT
-----------------a. Jab-Step
--------------------i. Explode (ball hand)
-----------------------1. Pull-Up
-----------------b. Step Over
--------------------i. Explode (opposite ball hand)
-----------------------1. Behind-the-Back
--------------------------a. Eurostep
-----------------c. Pull Back
--------------------i. Explode (ball hand)
-----------------------1. Pull-Up Pump-Fake
--------------------------a. Jumpshot


Etc, etc, etc...


But again, the important thing here is to READ THE DEFENSE. The D will tell you what to do. In real life, big sequences of moves like some I posted happen rarely, unless it's on a better defender, which takes more work to break down. Let me know if this works for you.
