ANYTHING RIGHT ABOUT NOW IS BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE. NBA 2k16 has been dead for months and with all of the issues, bugs, collisions turnovers, broken and inconsistent shooting etc. Almost like feins people cant wait to get their hands on the game. The controls I felt worked ok, the control stick though seemed to have trouble on occasion picking up exactly what I wanted it to do and this was frustrating and I do not think it was because of my giant sausage style fingers! I did notice that you can use a controller with this game if you wish, but that kind of takes away the on the go point of this version of NBA 2K17. NBA 2k17 is right around the corner, but it seems like it cant come soon enough. The NBA 2K series is not an arcade style game so it does have a learning curve. There is certainly some work by you required to get the hang of the controls.
I feel that they give you complete control over the action, but they have simplified it a little so that the screen is not too cluttered with buttons. You play the game with a virtual joystick on one side of the screen and a series of buttons on the other. To be fair though, NBA 2K17 does fair quite well. 2K Sports has today released something called 'NBA 2K17: The Prelude', a free NBA 2K17 demo that enables players to make an early start on building their MyPlayer's career ahead of the game's. Too many mobile games that have tried to emulate their console big brothers fall at the control hurdle. Of course, all of the flash means nothing if the game does not control well.
