I find it very cool to see all the control options provided. This is going to be ever-so-slightly off topic, but I kind of hope the Dunk Contest has some alternate control options as well, if it truly is a Guitar Hero setup.

Thanks for the info, Beluba. I have a feeling I'll be using the shot stick occasionally, but for fast breaks and quick catch-and-shoot layups/dunks i'll probably rely on the button...for me it seems like the button will be better for quicker shots since fewer fingers are involved and there's less room for error...like when you need to quickly catch and dunk or something like that.

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

I love the options you guys are providing.

Pretty much nails it on the head

Great call 2K, the more options you give us to set it up how we like, the more people are able to find a scheme that works for them.

Can't wait for even more details on the dribbling. There was a lot of depth in the past versions but they were too hard to pull off.

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

Yes. The Shot Stick is more gesture based now. Throw the stick left to right for a left to right Euro, Double tap the Stick to the left to hop step to the left, etc.

Beautiful...gonna be a long two months.

Have they said anything about "crew"??

Re: NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

anything that gives you more control of dribbling is positive thanks for clearing this up. As long as we have defense to counter the moves im happy

Re: NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

will player ratings come into effect on how good players can dribble? Centers shouldnt be pulling off derrick rose dribble moves without the danger of losing the ball

In case you missed it, B (CIRCLE) is a Hop Step button again.

Re: Some Clarity on the Control Stick

question for Beluba - does the hop step button work like it did in 2k11, where it could also be used for spins and step-backs? i always liked using the hop step button for step-backs in 2k11 - it always felt a bit more responsive than using the stick for step-backs.

Re: NBA 2K13 - Some Clarity on the Control Stick

Is there passing with the control stick as well...?

If LT is to bring up the shot stick what button brings up icons? LB?

I dont see the problem here. As long as there is proper collision detection (hopefully the new physics bring this) then it wont be able to be abused. Its not the control scheme that made it cheesy in the pass, it was the lack of proper collision detection.

Ahhh, I was wondering how you all would do this. Sounds more intuitive. Nice!
