NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #10 - Controls

Re: NBA 2K12 Developer Insight #10 - Controls

I consulted my high school coach (who's good friends with Mike D'Antoni and is now involved with the Knicks organization) on this issue. He's said it's perfectly legal to pivot after a hop-step if both feet land simultaneously.

When you do a staggered gather, the first foot to land becomes your pivot. When you hop-step and both feet land at the same time, you can essentially choose which foot landed "first", making that your pivot foot.

thankyou.
Pared you're just wrong.

Try that move in any level of basketball and they'll call you for it - there's a reason why. You can't leave your feet and come down in a 1-2 motion with your feet, then start pivoting. It's the same reason they call a travel when you catch the ball, take the steps for a shot, then drive.

What is his name? I have a few friends who work with the Knicks and I'd like to talk to him - I'm sure they can put me in touch. PM it to me if you don't want it on the boards.

Still there

Yes! This was really a great addition last year, Mike. Glad to hear it is still there. Thanks for the insight on the controls; practice mode is going to be a necessity this year.

"Shot compositing gave us the ability to essentially create a limitless number of sig shots, while still allowing for tons of new shot types without bloating our memory footprint."

You know what, I think all those new plays are bloating up your memory footprint as well. You should make a Create Your Own Play Feature in 2k13


Seriously i've been losing sleep over this create your own shot feature. I can't wait to see all the crazy choices you guys put in the game.
