NBA 2k16 PC Keyboard Controls Workaround

Hey, there

I just found a possible temporary fix of how to customize your keyboard controls until 2k comes up with a patch or something.
All you need to do is:
1. download and install Autohotkey
2. create a simple script
3. map the desired keys
4. run the script
5. run NBA 2K16

```````````````````
Now some more details, for me it was just changing two controls from the default one, which i'm using since 2k9 and i pretty used to it. I'm sure that most of you
who use keyboard to play 2k16 need to change more than just two controls, so it may take some more time to do it so.

1. download Autohotkey from here : http://www.autohotkey.com/
2. go to your desktop and right click with you mouse - select new - and select Autohotkey Script, you can name it 2k16 or anything you want
2.1 now you have to edit the script, right click on it and press edit
2.2 you need to paste the following code underneath (do not delete the text that is already in the script):

;NumPad-CODE
;remapping "normal" number keys to make them
;behave like numpad numbers
0::Numpad0
1::Numpad1
2::Numpad2
3::Numpad3
4::Numpad4
5::Numpad5
6::Numpad6
7::Numpad7
8::Numpad8
9::Numpad9
;using the "Appskey" to turn on/off remapping code
Appskey::
Suspend,Toggle
return


and then just simply save it.
Let me explain: in this code 0 will map and replace Numpad0, 1 will map and replace Numpad1. You can customize it the way you want. Let me show my script with only
two controls being changed:

;NumPad-CODE
;remapping "normal" number keys to make them
;behave like numpad numbers
Numpad0::Numpad1
NumpadDot::Numpad3
;using the "Appskey" to turn on/off remapping code
Appskey::
Suspend,Toggle
return

As you can see, all i wanted is to replace Numpad1 and Numpad3 with Numpad0 and NumpadDot, that's how it's done.


4. When ya'll ready and set run the script, you will see it highlighted in green in the tray. I think NumLock should be ON while using the script.
5. Play the game


I would advise you when starting to map those keys, try with one or two controls, see if its working and then map the rest.
Here is a video on youtube explaining it all:

Here is a List of keys, mouse buttons etc: http://ahkscript.org/docs/KeyList.htm


Hope this helps.

I did it... but I dont understand it at all.
Why don't you give us an example how you did lets say..... what button is to pass and how assign it..... shoot, and etc.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing this information,
This might be the only way we(who doesnt have a gamepad) can play the game at the moment.

But just to clarify,
How can we change shoot-pass-rebound keys?

Because for many years, I use
E for rebounding
S to shoot
X to pass

Can you clarify how do we change our keys to those?

Thanks you so much by the way, I hope this workaround will help everyone.

Default keys I figured out until now, I would appreciate everybody's feedback:

Offensive-Defensive
0 ? - ?
1 Pass -Take Charge
2 Hesitate - ?
3 Pass Strangely(?) - Rebound
4 Hesitate - ?
5 Shoot - Steal
6 Hesitate - ?
7 ? - ?
8 Hesitate - ?
9 ? - ?
ENTER Run - Run
Shift Hide Ball - ?

I'm not sure i can explain it any better than this, simply because that was the first time i was using autohotkeys.
Here are the default keyboard controls:

TAB - playcalling, pick control etc
Left Shift - play tight defense, the new post button
Space - regualar pass
A,W,S,D - player movement (Left Stick)
Num + - icon passing
NumEnter - sprint/run/turbo
Num1 - taking a charge
Num3 - block/rebound
Num5 - shoot button
Num 2,4,6,8 - pro stick, (Right stick) the one you dribble with or shoot as well
Arrows up, down, left, right - stand for the dpad, you know substitution, changing camera view etc
other buttons used : ESC, Enter, [ , ], , . ,some of the numbers 1,2,3,4

For example:

E for rebounding
S to shoot
X to pass

``````````````

E::Numpad3
S::Numpad5
X::Space


``````````````````````````

Let me clarify the script:

;NumPad-CODE
;remapping "normal" number keys to make them
;behave like numpad numbers
0::Numpad0
1::Numpad1
2::Numpad2
3::Numpad3
4::Numpad4
5::Numpad5
6::Numpad6
7::Numpad7
8::Numpad8
9::Numpad9
;using the "Appskey" to turn on/off remapping code
Appskey::
Suspend,Toggle
return


You don't have to use the numbers from 0 to 9, just put your desired keys and on the right side must be put the default keyboard controls.
Let's say you want put/map the shoot/steal button to the letter Z:
You need to type:

Z::Numpad5

JJPooh, give us a screenshot of your script....

JJ thank you man, now I can play this game cause you came up and shared this beautiful information.

My current list is like this:
(I use arrow keys to move my player- instead of WASD, and I put hesiation moves to WAZD- and I use Left shift to Run/Sprint, I use S to shoot/steal E to Rebound/Block X to pass )


0::Numpad0
x::Numpad1
w::Numpad2
e::Numpad3
a::Numpad4
s::Numpad5
d::Numpad6
7::Numpad7
z::Numpad8
9::Numpad9
LShift::NumpadEnter
Up::w
Down::s
Left::a
Right::d



I don't know what Numpad7 and Numpad9 does, so I didn't touch them.
Also, I don't really know the difference between Numpad1(pass) and Space(pass), they seem to do the same thing.

I haven't figured out the key for boxing out(while in defense) yet. So if you know, I'd love to know it too.

With friendly thanks and best wishes

Can you give me a screenshot of your script ?

Note: Maxhotkeysperinterval 500 is not to get warnings(default is 70 in 1900 miliseconds I guess), use it only if you need it.

It doesn't work with your script either. I PUT THE NUM LOCK ON ... and OFF .... still doesn't work in the game.

Here is a screenshot of my script:
http://imgur.com/hfOR11R

As i said i only needed to change 2 controls:
Numpad0::Numpad1
NumpadDot::Numpad3
Don't put anything unnecessary!
````````````````````````````````
0::Numpad0
1::Numpad1
2::Numpad2
3::Numpad3
4::Numpad4
5::Numpad5
6::Numpad6
7::Numpad7
8::Numpad8
9::Numpad9

Those ^ were just for illustration purposes only.

Does it work in the game for you JJPooh?????

And here is my script is there something that is wrong ?!?!

; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.

;NumPad-CODE

return

Yes, it does. As i said i had to just change two controls, because i'm used to the default ones and it was pretty easy.
If this is to complicated for yall, you can try something else: ppJoy + x360ce. Its virtual pad and x360 emulator. I used it last year for about a week, there was a problem with keyboards playing online (but they fixed it asap). You can check my posts from last year or just search youtube. Not sure if it will work tho. Autohotkey setup took me just 5 minutes.

Why it's not working for me ???? I press run the script .... and then I start the game.... and it's not working.... Do I have to do something else ????

Didn't work for me either. I tried Run as administrator and now it works hope it helps you guys !

I don't know. Maybe restart your computer if you haven't already. Why don't you set just one control or even two, see if its working and go from there. For example: ingame defaults for charge and setting a screen is Num1, and for blocking and rebounding is Num3. You can try the script i'm using, see if those two controls change. Don't forget to turn on NumLock.

No even with your scipt... it doesn't work.

The strange thing is that after i run the script it works... on any other program like skype for example..... but it doesn't work in the game.

Hmm, it's strange, script is working for me in-game, maybe you should seek help in AutoHotkey's own forum? There might be someone who could help you.
