But now it would be even harder to use the square button since you have to use 2 sticks.
This would probably make the shot stick damn near mandatory for everyone to use.

No way Jose. Just gotta move your thumb up while your dribbling motion is still in progress.

That sounds like more of a pain than just using the shot stick.
Once you learn the shot stick style of playing, its almost natural

Nah, sticks and me don't gel. It's why I don't play FPS's

If I could have a SNES controller that worked with every console ever, then I would be in my element.

sure it was nice with the shot stick when you didnt have to hold another button just to shoot. i gotta play the demo some more but i did not like it

 

[tonelow]

Cant believe you guys dont use the shot stick...its so natural and gives you more control...it opens up the game so much.

[MarvelSux]

I only use the shot stick when driving. Shoot jumpers with the x/square button. I even use the button to shoot free throws

 

[hood17]

Not a bad review from IGN so we just have to spend hours and hours playing 2k to get used to the dribble stick due to lack of tutorials. was gonna wait until black friday to pick this up so i can focus on school work but that usually doesn't workout

 

[obina]

I have a feeling we will be getting updates for the sloppy gameplay and odd ratings. It happens each year with 2k.

 

[bluedeniro]

why is it natural to use the shot stick, because the flick of my thumb is simulating a formed jump shot. As long as
i have to release at the top of my jumper with a NBA player for him to make the basket im cool. Dont got to feel
like im actually on the court because 2k wants me too.

 

[geoff2005]

i been using shot stick on 11 and 12 but with this new 13 set up, i find it better to use shot stick only for dunks and lay ups.

How do you do this?

 

[mitchellicious]

Also, I think that reviewer is wrong. You always have to go in to practice mode to find the tutorials, there will definitely be some in there.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

 

[shoeking2101]

LA heads get at me. My spot should have the game by tonight no later than tomorrow. I cop early every year. Just got word from them now.

Pm homie

 

[Trillmatic90]

How do you do this?

When you're at the free throw line, just hold x/square and release when the timing is right. You don't have to switch up the controls or anything. Makes free throws so much easier if you're used to shooting with the x/square button.

 

[guttagetsbusy]

Using the shot button again will be tough.

I'm flicking the shot stick in the demo like "the **** is going on? "

Same, but I want to get out of that habit and use the stick for shooting too.

How do you do this?

press the button instead of using the stick.... you can use the button in the demo too

 

[vicrain24]

Never ever used the shot stick to shoot. Been button pressin since 2k8

 

[elpablo21]

I need this early for the weekend in Seattle 

and oh I rock with the shot stick by the way. I get a more fluid release of the dribble

 

[Deleted member 38182]

Went to my buddies last night who has Kinect, and was able to play the demo with the 2k camera angle 

 felt good
