Anyone have this down yet? I'm having trouble figuring out the exact motion for the killer crossover. I'm not talking about the hesitation cross you get by pressing and releasing the R trigger, it's the one where the player bobs his head a bit and jitters both feet (thus travelling ) before going in a direction. By dicking around with the left analogue I've managed to perform its two variations - the side-to-side crossover and in-and-out - but I can't pull either off with any degree of precision or consistency. The in-game tutorial does absolutely nothing to help. Therefore, I might as well see if we can compile a make-shift list of all the isomotion moves. I'll start off:

idle left analog + clicking R = hesitation step
idle left analog + clicking R -> left analog right/left = hard drive/crossover
R + back on left analog = step back

That's all I've got down so far. I can't pull off spin moves or behind the back dribbles predictably either, doing random circular motions seems to do one or the other.

Feel free to add whatever interesting tidbits about the game.

Edit: Dur, so apparently 24/7 is a great way to get to learn all the new moves. Instruction manual for the win. Anyway, 2K6 rox.

I recieved some help last night from Beluba, so I think its only right that I pass this on...

· Drive move = Hold Aggressive and hold Left stick at a slight angle off-line toward the basket
· Crossover dribble = Hold Aggressive and quickly throw the Left stick in the opposite direction of your dribble hand
· Behind the back or Spin (ability specific) = Hold Aggressive and quickly spin the Left stick in a circular motion.
· Half Spin = Hold Aggressive and quickly spin the Left stick in a half-circle, then immediately spin it back the opposite direction
· Stutter = Quickly Tap and Release the Aggressive button
· Stutter Drive = Quickly Tap & Release the Aggressive button, then chain into the Drive move
· Stutter Cross = Quickly Tap & Release the Aggressive button, then chain into the Crossover dribble
· Hesitation Cross = Hold Aggressive and throw (at moderate speed) the Left stick in the opposite direction of your dribble hand
· In & Out = Initiate the hesitation crossover, then throw the Left stick back toward the ball hand for the In & Out
· Step Back = Hold Aggressive and pull the Left stick away from the basket
· Hop Step = Quickly Tap & Release the Shift modifier while dribbling (left thumbstick must be neutral or pointing toward the basket.)
· Hop Step Spin = Quickly Tap & Release the Shift modifier while holding down the Aggressive button
· Hop Step Back = Quickly Tap & Release the Shift modifier while dribbling (left thumbstick must be pointed away from the basket.)


Once I realized the spin and the behind the back were the same move, I can pull just about any move. Now I gotta work on chaining them...

Ah, thanks for that list. I'll play around with it tomorrow, time for bed now. Wish I could play more tonight... other than the awkward running animation (it's been this way for the past few iterations) I'm really liking the game.
