how to make a shake'n bake on pc? help.

[Hawks Phan]

I'm pretty sure that it's contextual, meaning that this year it's going to only happen in certain situations where the animation is triggered, unlike 2k10. In 2k10 I could do all the signature layups at will, because all you had to do was certain button combinations, and a few situational things like ball in right hand for chris paul layup etc...But this year, I haven't been able to figure out how to do Crawford's shake n' bake move. Technially, you should hold LT and either push the right stick forward, or to one of the other 3 directions, but this hasn't achieved anything with Crawford. However, that's how I've pulled of Rondo's sig layups, LT + right stick forward for two of his signature layups, except for the one at the baseline where you push the right stick towards the baseline while holding LT.

Crawford's signature layup and Kobe's signature layup are the only ones that I can't figure out this year, nor do I know anyone else who has on the pc. I've looked around the forums and haven't seen anyone who has figured out either kobe's or JC'S sig layups.

In case you or anyone else wants to know, the CP3 signature layup is achieved by simply pushing the right stick to the right, WITHOUT holding LT or RT. CP3 must be dribbling the ball with his right hand, and have a decent amount of seperation between himself and the defender, that is essentially what I mean by contextual. But for some reason, even when it would appear to be the right situation, the JC shake and bake animation doesn't get triggered. Maybe the patch will provide a remedy for that...

To be blunt, it will probably just happen if you keep playing with the hawks, randomly when you're not expecting it. lol, sorry I can't help more man.

In 2K10 Crawford's shake is triggered by holding turbo then pushing the RS to the right as you move to the basket. Absolute right, doesn't matter from which angle you came from - from the top or the baseline it's always right of the RS. Maybe that can give you an idea.

Thanks all. Just I made a shake-n-bake at NBA 2K11 but I forgot. Thanks for the CP3 layup, too. It looks easy. Note: I'm playing with keyboard, which causes a bad experience. I already have a game-pad but it's horrible too, it's based on a PS2 controller but when I want to select the Right Stick Up/Down/Left/Right button, it turns me as x/o/square/triangle types. Thank you too, shadowgrin.

Plus, here is a video for NBA 2K10's shake-n-bake which I made.

You said no one's figured them out? I have. Mwahahaha...
erm, anyways...

For the Kobe signature layup, this is where i learned how to do it from:

http://hoopsgaming.com/showthread.php?t=4917

It works, I've tried it myself. the important thing to remember is that you have to BEAT your initial defender first i.e: have your initial defender behind you or beside you, not in front, and then like the guy in the link said, you have to be roughly in that exact area of the court. the button press is as he said (shot stick AWAY FROM THE BASELINE). after some practicing you'll get it down too.

But something that the guy didn't mention, is that even if you're able to perform it, you'd probably miss all your shots with it at first, because (and this is important): the shot release timing is LATER than what you might intuitively believe after seeing the animation. So basically hold the shot button a little longer (and definitely do not release early) for the shot to go in. Cost me a lot of time before i obtain this bit of knowledge... Go to practice mode to practice the timing.

Contrary to what the guy who made the post and most people believe, you don't have to do the 'post move' practice mode, apparently you don't have to have a defender for this signature layup to appear. Just 'freestyle practice' would be fine. Just remember the positioning and button press.


For Jamal Crawford's signature layup, this is where I learned it from:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrCC7q0NYwk

Explanation:
-you have to be roughly in that area shown in the video for the layup to be triggered.
-like with the Kobe signature layup, you have to have your initial defender beat.
-the 'arrow' sign in the instruction refers to the RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR PLAYER, since the Jamal Crawford in the video's dribbling the ball with his right hand. So if you're using Broadcast cam or any other sideways camera, you actually press DOWN on the shot stick, which, if your player is dribbling with his right hand, would be his right side, as per the instruction.
- unlike Kobe's signature layup, I think this layup has to be practiced in 'post moves' practice mode, it seems you need to have defenders for this layup to trigger.
-I'm not sure, but i think the secondary defender has to be positioned like in the video as well, (which is on your left), but when you try to do this layup you will usually find yourself in that position naturally anyway.

I've also tried and practiced this layup myself, so i can assure you it works. (My guy in MyPlayer exclusively uses Jamal Crawford's layup package now, because now I can pretty much bust those layups out at will )

Oh, and as a bonus:
Dr. J.'s signature layup is basically one of his reverse layups, so you do it by pressing the shotstick TOWARDS THE BASELINE when you're running to the basket on the baseline. The only thing you have to remember is that your dribbling hand must be the hand that's closer to the baseline. Oh, and don't start from too close to the basket. You can practice it in 'Freestyle' practice mode.

Steve Nash's signature layup is one of his normal layups (you press the shotstick TOWARDS the basket), it will trigger randomly. You can practice it in 'Freestyle' practice mode.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

PS: Now if someone can only show me how to do Rondo's signature layup in just as much detail, I'd be really grateful.
