Backdown

[Malfa]

How do you backdown if when you press the L trigger it does a free style superstar move?

[Ruff Ryder]

Right analog stick down. It's kinda weird, and you have to hold it while you're backing down or he'll just do a drop step/spinoff or w/e.

[Malfa]

Hmm, that will be hard to get used to but so will freestyle superstar moves..

Thanks.

[Wormy10]

Dang ill never get used to using that to backdown

[Mike Bradford]

they might let you edit the controls though, i know in most games you can.

[Malfa]

Yeah, but then where the hell would you put!?!?

[Mike Bradford]

i dunno. depends whether you use certain things or not, like if you dont use passing icons often, you could switch the two, though most ppl do use the icons. shit....well i guess we'll have to get used to inconvenient controls if we want to use freestyle superstars.

[Malfa]

Yeah, I wouldn't play the game if they took passing icons awya lol..

[Mike Bradford]

same, it gets way difficult, you always pass to the wrong guy without them, but it could be worse, we could have Xbox controllers, the black and white buttons would be the icons and like oop n stuff, thats even worse.

[Malfa]

I have an xbox..=\

[Mike Bradford]

really? do you find it annoying? like inconvenient to have to reach across for the icons, as opposed to tapping a second trigger?

[Malfa]

I'm used to it. I have my left pointer on my L1 and my left thumb on the joystick.

Then I used my right pointer for R1 and then my thumb for the letter buttons / black / white / free style stick. I'm pretty much used to it with my fast reflexes.



Just like text messaging for me..lol

[Mike Bradford]

lol true true, but this change i think will be harder on the Xbox players then the ps2. though we'll all be used to it after a few days, cuz i know ill be playing non stop once i get it.

[Malfa]

I would be palying non stop but I'm in highschool..= tons of homework. I'm walking to Gamestop on the 27'th after school to buy it though.

Same here. But I got good grades so far so my parents wouldn't mind.

[Malfa]

I have the same classes every other day.

So on monday I get homework..and I have to do that on monday night even thoguh it's due wednesday.
Then tuesdays homework thats due thursday I'll due that night..then I have wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday, (i ahve to do some homework)sunday free to play.
But then I also have wednesdays homework due friday..so I'll have to do that too.

[Fiddy Mcs Unit]

if u have a L2 button u could use that as back down...thats wat i might do

[Malfa]

No, I use passing icons.

[Matt]

this will feel a little awkward for a while.

[Mike Bradford]

yo im in highschool too man, but i have 5, 1 hour classes, and one of them is used for doing any homework from other classes, so i usually have none. and yeah im walking to EB games as soon as it comes out too. i thought most ppl here were in highschool, but maybe not lol

[kaat2g]

i played the demo at eb games at the mall last wk on the ps2 console. L1 will back down ur defender when you are in contact with him and at the same time it activates the freestyle superstyle abilities. so the choice is urs. back down or dunk on him..lol

[Malfa]

That sucks..Steve Nash will be in contact and backdown when I want to fucking pass it.

[Mike Bradford]

hmm. thats messed, this is something we'll have to see for our selves before we understand it.

[Goldenstatewarrior]

Maybe change the backdown button when you get the game to suit your style.

Going with a EA tradition, the "modifier"-key will be static. So, no re-mapping.
