NBA 2K14 - Rob Jones Briefly Explains The Pro Stick: Dribbling and Shooting

[qnzballa5]

IGN recently had a chance to play an early build of NBA 2K14 with the game Director, Rob Jones. They talk briefly about the Pro Stick dribbling and shooting.

Quote:

It turns out that holding LT (on Xbox 360) now triggers an assist pass based on whatever direction you nudge on the right stick. It's wild fun on fast breaks or for driving the lane and kicking out to a spot-up shooter behind the three-point line. Once I got some advice from longtime series director Rob Jones, the dribble-stick controls made a lot more sense. As he simply stated, "Dribbles are taps [on the right thumbstick], shots are holds."

UPDATE: 2K Team-Up member @IpodKingCarter has posted more details.

UPDATE #2: 2K Team-Up member @QJBeat has posted more details.

UPDATE #3: 2K Team-Up member @Shake4ndBake has posted more details.

UPDATE #4: 2K Team-Up member @ShakeDown2012 has posted more details.

What are your thoughts?

They changed the controls again? For what?

Great find, answers the question of the shot stick, which I knew wasn't going to be taken out.

Sounds like we'll have to adjust to the left trigger and right stick combo being for passes, and tapping for dribbling but sounds like it's going to be a smoove transition from dribbling to shooting. Which I like.

Dribbles are taps shots are holds - NO!!!!!!!

What was wrong with using the trigger?

What was wrong with using the A button for passes?

To many unnecessary changes.

We don't know that without trying it ourselves. It might be really good and we'll find out in time. They wouldn't change it unless they felt it was an improvement.

Very true. hopefully its turn out good.

hmm I need to get used to this....so basically holding down LT+stick will still be the shot stick and flicking the stick while holding down LT will be passing?

Or is it back to pure shot stick without the LT trigger? So...shotstick and dribble stick....oh man...need more info...

How do you pumpfake if taps are not shots? Or is this a way to make pump fakes realistic meaning you have to start a shot then stop at the right time?
