True, but I think that's a real aspect in basketball. Like someone in the league who cant go left, not everyone can control the sticks with both thumbs. You got 2 hands and 2 sticks. Makes sense to me especially if the direction of the game is towards more realism.

And what does me not using the shot stick have to do with why I'd not want "advanced" controls? I tried it, it seemed inaccurate to me and I scrapped using it. Its usually 50-50 on the board between folks who use it and don't use it. How is shot stick usage a measuring stick of ones ability to deal with "advanced" controls?

Re: Joystiq Preview

I do think the shtot stick is the best thing that happened to the 2K series. But that's me.

Anyway, if both triggers already used, I wonder if we'll have auto post-up again...

If you don't use the shot stick you cannot do drifters/leaners/runners/advanced post moves/adjusting shots in mid-air/specific layup packages(like Rondo's).

Although with the button you can do fadeaways. This is why I only use the button for spot up jumpers. Also for pumpfakes in the paint and the lean in the defender to draw a foul animation.

I also noticed using the shot stick in the paint area won't initiate heavy contact as much. Can anyone relate to this?

If I'm using a post player, I still get contact with the stick, but to get away from those awkward layups/hookshots I just hold the stick away from the basket and he'll do a hookshot without all that crazy contact.

Yeah same here. But I'm not talking about being in the post-up animation. Rather face-up.

Also when I use the stick away from the basket, they do this one handed quick flip shot.

Ohno! Right stick controls for handling too? Oh well I guess I will use the Alternate control schemes.

Oh yeah, there'll be alternate controls. That gives me some hope...
