Stop tapping pass button...

Re: Passing!

Double tapping the pass button is the control for fake pass. So if you spam it it will fake pass forever. Press it once.

lol there is one thing I absolutely hate about passing.. A player gets passed his defender leaving it:

passer-defender-player-basket...

Instead of simply lobbing it over the top of the defender to my cutting player the pass is thrown directly into the defenders chest.. Almost like I'm trying to pass through him, wtf lol...

Re: Passing!

Yeah passing is just as bad as ever, they really didn't improve it at all, just like rebounding. The bounce pass is a nice touch but that's it. The actual passing logic is still pretty broken. And for those saying don't spam the pass button, that's true. But making it so double tapping the pass button quickly fakes a pass was a stupid idea, i don't know what they were thinking with that.

Why? Why would you spam the pass button anyway? It's a user error, not a control design issue. Developers aren't responsible for gamers's bad habbits.

You could always bounce pass it, I switched to the 2k camera view and helped out ALOT for my passing, My starting PG Kemba is averaging 15-18 ast per game

Re: Passing!

For those who want faster passing I recommend using the right bumper + right stick(xbox). It still isn't as fast as it should be but just a tad faster than icon or directional imo.

For 2k14 2k really needs to consider looking at either slowing down defensive players a tad to give off the appearance of faster passes or speed up the passes.

lol, no. It's just a bad design choice. Call it what you want, but sometimes you want to pass the ball quickly and you're likely to double tap the pass button by accident(can happen to anyone i don't care how "good" you are). Plus it's very sensitive. I'm sure you'll write it off as "everyone just sucks except me and doesn't know how to play" but a lot of people find it annoying.

And there are times when you might want to do 2 very fast passes back to back meaning your chance of accidentally triggering the pass fake increase.

Re: Passing!

You should icon pass at all times (except when you want to bounce pass or alley oop).

Agreed, but keep in mind when you icon pass be cogniscent of the direction you're passing. You can end throwing a bad pass because you're still pushing the left joy stick in a certain direction
