How to do this first step blow-by move like D-Wade did in the game?

JaoSming, can we sticky this topic so that people can contribute to the list of moves that can be pulled off in the post and off the dribble? It took me 10 minutes to find it again under search. Badwolf did a great job to start it off.

Direction pad?

I'm loving that pump fake - pump fake - up and under move. And it's really easy. When you're drivng to the basket for instance, slightly press the shot button (or slightly push the shot-stick) and while he's doing the fake, push the shot-stick in any direction and he'll do the rest of the animation. Don't do it too far away from the hoop, it will always be a hook shot.

Nope, doesn't work. You actually need to go to the main menu, select "tutorials", and it will show which one you're on right now. Select another one with the space bar.
I'm very eager to play more of the game since I had never ever played NBA 2K before and it looks very promising, but I must say the interface is already pissing me off. If you really want to make a PC port, make sure the interface is not some crappy console bullshit and is actually suited for PC controls...

Yes, the shot stick is on the numpad, you use 2, 4, 6, and 8. Two of the triggers are the "," and ".", but I don't know what the other two are.

Anyone else with a Logitech Rumblepad 2 having difficulty performing those moves?
I know the game is optimized for a 360 type of pad, but still, it recognized all my buttons and everything. However, I was going though the list of moves from the first post (thanks BadWolf (Y) ), and none of the isomotion moves seem to work, even though my "triggers" (R2 and L2 in this case) are properly mapped...What the hell?

el badman, isomotion is different from years past, not sure if you played those , though. Some moves take very delicate precise movements, others take alot more movement. As long as you are holding the turbo button down, you should be able to try something on the left thumbstick similar to Live's freestyle. Try performing the moves in practice mode. I found that turning the quickness slider down made it easier for me to perform a move, as it seemed to make the movements less sensitive.

mr2ksports, tap the shoot button while in motion to perform a hop step or hop spin. You can use the left thumbstick to point where you want to make the move.

Thanks for the advice Pdub. It must really be sensitive then, because I've been trying for a long time in pratice and I'm not achieving any of the moves that require RT and/or LT...

Just out of curiosity, is anything supposed to happen when you just press/tap/hold either RT or LT while dribbling on one spot without moving (or having still one unused dribble for that matter)?
And you mentioned using the turbo, is this actually required for those isomotions moves (the manual does not mention that), or can you perform them without it?
Thanks for any additional tip, I'm dying, here, not being able to do any fancy moves at all... :cry:

Yes, tapping R1/turbo whether moving or idle should do a hesitation move which you can link with other moves like a crossover, drive, spin, behind the back, etc. Tapping L1/backdown should do a size up move when you are not moving and a quick "burst" drive while moving. I believe there are some basic isomotion moves without using the trigger like 2k8, but I am not sure of that.

R2=RT =turbo
L1=LB =offball
R2=RB =icon passing

circle=B = charge / crossover
X=A= pass

Thanks, and that does answer my initial question: I'm really out of it :lol:
I've been trying to pull off these moves using R2/L2 instead of R1/L1, I didn't realize that it was the turbo and backdown buttons that you to use for that...But I guess you must have a PS2-type of gamepad as well, right Pdub? Because from Jao's post:
L2=LT =backdown
R2=RT =turbo

But for me, it's assigned to R1/L1. That's why I got confused... :oops:
