Not sure if this was brought about by one of the updates/patches in recent weeks/months (as I hadn't played the game in a while up until a few weeks ago), but the Lateral Quickness slider does absolutely nothing on next gen. I've tested it at 0, at 100, and everything in between, and movement on defense (whether you're holding L2 or just using the left stick) is exactly the same. At first I thought that maybe the attribute itself is broken, as I had seen videos from 2KTutes earlier in the year that showed no difference with defensive movement regardless of what Lateral Quickness was set to, but there was a difference when you lowered the Speed rating. So I tested again by just dropping the Speed slider to 0, and left stick movement (with or without sprint) was extremely slow, but lateral movement while holding L2 was still at full speed.
Obviously, this means that Speed is not controlling lateral L2 movement any longer, and sliders cannot fix the issue. So I modified a roster and dropped everyone's Lateral Quickness rating by 50. Jumped into a new game with that roster loaded, and now lateral movement while holding L2 is incredibly slow as you'd expect.
So in short, the attribute itself is working properly. The slider has no effect. L2 movement speed is controlled by Lateral Quickness, not by Speed, and if you want to get rid of the ridiculous sliding on defense you'll need to edit the roster and not the sliders.
Hopefully 2K sees this and can push through an update ASAP so we don't have to mess with the rosters. If not, at least we can Quick Edit and lower everyone's rating all at once.
Note: I will be updating the "Speed, Accel, Lateral Quickness" thread in my signature tonight with this information added, I just wanted to post a separate thread so that everyone could see this information immediately.
