    The D-Pad...

    Okay....1st off...I love this game...best basketball game ever...

    I'm not sure if this deserves its own thread
    but I can't be the only person really upset with the changes to the D-Pad

    Why change switching players to the buttons we have to use during gameplay instead of keeping it simple with the D Pad?
    I understand it frees up player movement by using the buttons so you can use ur left hand to move the left stick...but it doesnt flow...how many times must I run the shotclock out trying to get back to my starting PG but my bench center? lol


    Why replace seeing Points,Assists,Rebounds & Fouls with SWITCHING THE CAMERA??? ...seriously...

    I don't understand...pausing the game to change the camera is necessary and Im sure everybody that does change the camera with the dpad still have to pause the game to change the zoom & height to their liking..."IF"...

    Im a fan of the new offensive and defensive schemes
    added to the D-Pad...but...im not a fan of using the buttons to pick them.

    I've gotten used to the change as much as possible so far
    but I'm just really curious if im the only player
    NOT liking this new D-Pad button mixture...

    its cool for plays...it works for plays...
    but it doesn't work wen im trying to sub players on defense
    see a pass and press x then have to mash x until i get back to who was in the game...(something 2k probably didnt think about...)

    I'll never understand why 2k change the stuff thats NOT broken...

    the dpad was everything we asked for last year...
    (stats. plays. coaching adjustments, substitions)
    thats wht it should be this year only with added coaching adjustments
    & maybe more stats...but what they had was fine...

    not sure who asked for the a camera change option on the d-pad
    but that was the worst idea...

    yes...i am nitpicking but its not a game breaker
    seeing as how I should make adjustments at game break
    but I like to keep the game moving...

    just want to know if anybody else agrees...
    they might listen to us and change it back if we come together...lmao...

      Substitutions are rough. How do you make the menu close??? How do you sub during free throws? Perfect last yr!

        Its brutal. Dont know what they were thinking with this one. Dont really care to switch cameras on the fly after Im already playing on the one I chose saved games ago.

          I'm not sure I've spent enough time with 2K12 to decide whether I'll actually end up getting used to the new sub-on-the-fly menu or not. However, the camera change being linked to the D-Pad is a little weird now that you mention it. Is it there to help prevent online opponents from having to switch their camera angle by pressing pause when a game starts? Otherwise, I think you guys are right, I'm not sure who's going to want to change the camera angle frequently during play.

              I sub a player & have to wait for the menu to close before I can pass the ball. Just weird problems like that are holding the game back.

                you literally can be playing a game versus a friend and they can change the camera while you're on offense #EpicFail

                  Subs on the fly are so clunky .... way too hard to select the right guy you want to sub in. I end up subbing in the wrong guy because the on the fly sub screen turns off before I can select the right guy. Sometimes the on the fly sub screen wont even come on when I select it. Ps3 version here... This needs to be fixed asap.....

                    I still haven't adjusted to the change yet. I used to make all my subs in game, now I may have to start pausing it.

                      I ABSOLUTELY 100% WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH YOU. It makes my blood boil. I can't see people's points so I don't know if I should just use the best player on the team ball-hug the **** out the basketball or should I need to get others involved, and IF I do want to get others involved I want to know who has more points than whom. NBA 2k11 got it perfectly. It was simple, straight to the things that truly mattered (on-court players' stats), the substitution in 2K11 was pretty simple and on point as well.

                      I don't know, I just don't seem to know why the **** would they want to add "change camera" to the d-pad. What the **** man? I don't need to change the camera, because I've already chosen my favorite camera pre-game.

                      Yea, the d-pad setting annoys the **** out of me. I feel you.

                        Hit down on the dpad again, when you are finished making your subs.

                        Subbing during free throws only works after the cut scene is done and the player is ready to shoot. I hope 2K patches it so that we can access the menu during the cut scene.

                            I'm at the free throw line and I try to sub in my Small forward. So I hit X and what do you know, it makes me shoot the free throw even though the sub menu is up.
