I haven't played NBA 2k since 2k13. Before playing a game in 2k16, I want to master the controls. The problem is that on the surface, 2k16 is lacking a wide variety of moves that were present in 2k13. Without an in-game tutorial to properly inform players of the deep control scheme, it is near impossible to figure this stuff out on my own. Yes there is an advanced control scheme available in the game's manual and online, but compare it to 2k13's advanced controls scheme. There is a lot missing now that was once in 2k13. My assumption is that 2k would not remove such moves, (I'll present what is missing below) but rather that they are hidden from the user. So please use this thread to submit your knowledge of hidden tips and tricks in NBA 2k16. My hope is to update this thread and break down each advanced control scheme by category, (passing, dribbling, shooting, defense, etc) ultimately followed by a video illuminating the game's more concealed maneuvers.
As for a visual aid depicting the difference in possible moves, (per the game's manuals) compare and contrast the control schemes from NBA 2k16 to NBA 2k13.

So let me begin.
Shooting:
Standing Floater?
1 dribble pull up?
Ripover jumper?
Hop jumper?
Snatchback jumper?
Hop Step? ***
Spin Dunk?
Up and Under shot?***
Others??? Please chime in if you have more questions.
Dribbling:
Stutter step? (Used to be up on right stick; now that motion performs an in and out)
Standing in and out?
crawl dribble?
dribbling between legs or behind back quickly?
Post Game:
Faceup drives?
Hook vs Fade Vs Shimmy Shot?
Dropstep left vs right?
Stepback from post?
Those are my questions for right now. Please post any comments or questions you may have as well. If you have questions concerning defensive controls, post those as well. I'll update thread to incorporate questions and answers to questions!
