Dual Player Control
Sometimes, a situation arises on the court that would allow a specific player on your team to drive the lane for an easy bucket or step back to the perimeter for a trey, but they have to move before you get the ball to them before the window closes or the play will get shut down. Use Dual Player Control passing to put a specific player into motion to make an attempt at a big play.
Press the button to select the player you want to put into motion. Press UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT on the directional button to send the player in that general direction.
The Shot Stick
New to NBA 2K6 is the Shot Stick. Now you have the power to decide not only where to shoot, but what type of shot to take.
To take a jump shot, simply set your shot up and 'press back' the shot stick (move down on the right analog stick) and release it at the top of your jump.
Layups and Dunks
Attacking the basket in NBA 2K6 is where the Shot Stick shines. To perform a layup, drive to the basket and use the shot stick to decide what type of shot to take.
Shot Stick Layup Types
To perform a dunk with the Shot Stick, press the R1 then move the analog stick one of 4 directions to get the desired dunk.
Shot Stick Dunk Types
It is important to remember that not all players can perform all dunk types. Big men are usually better at the power dunks, whereas finesse players are better at the fancy dunks. Generally, the higher the player's skill, the more likely they are to execute the desired dunk.
