NBA 2K17 Basic & Advanced Controls Revealed

Re: NBA 2K17 Advanced Controls Revealed

It is considerably more difficult to pull off with the current scheme than it is with a double tap of a button; which prevented alot of players from effectively using it this year.

More difficult how? It's just a direction on the right stick. It's not like you have to put in a Tekken combo command to do it.

If anything, double-tapping X might be less responsive. I know a lot of times I would try to do a spin layup in 2K16 and it wouldn't happen.

You say that; but you wouldn't believe how many people I've seen that can't do the euro without accidentally activating the floater, or right/left handed layup animations. You have to hit the analog stick at the proper diagonal angle in order to get the euro to activate.

It is inherently more difficult to pull off than pressing the x button twice.

I expect to see more off ball defense, which is will be annoying. I just hope the new controls are counter balanced with away from the ball fouls

Is the spin layup still available? If so how do we perform it on 17?

Happy euro-step had been simplified, I'd only use it when controlling Giannis! I can see people abuse it like the spin move, hopefully they implemented a way to defend it. Still hoping they add a button that lets you protect the ball after rebounding especially for bigs

Hold turbo and double tap the shoot button.

Double tap Euro Step being back is great. Love that.

Awesome, no signature post moves...

[ChompskyHonk63]

Defense looking like it's gonna be hella fun!!!

Why have flop in the game if you can't trick the refs into calling a charge call. Useless IMO

Love how the eurosteps are back on the buttons. I just couldn't do it using the sticks.

This. I couldn't agree more. The Euro was sort of rare to see this year in Pro-am due to the degree of difficulty in pulling it off. Everyone and their brother is going to be spamming this move now, thinking they're nice.

I think the reason that the euro step was not seen in the park and pro-am was due to its ineffectiveness, as well as the ease in which you could either time the layup release to block it as a help side defender or more importantly steal the ball due to a long steal animation window.

I hope that the alternative input method as back and away from the rim (either to the right or the left) while driving on the right stick is still an option to allow me to continue to do all my dribble and layup controls on the right stick

I'm excited that eurostep is back on the buttons, people been asking for it back for the longest.

Ditto. I knew how to do it, but I kept getting the floater animation. It was too inconsistent for me. I like it on the button better.

Could you step back out of triple threat before?

Can't say I've used it if so....
