Any chance 2ksports will change this?

Any chance 2ksports will change iso moves? I simply cannot play the game with those 2-button combinations. You have to press two buttons at the same time and use the left stick that is also used for general moving.

Why don't they use the right stick? The shot stick isn't that important imo.

I should control the player with the left stick but also tell him what iso moves to do. My player is in "iso mode" very often but suddenly switches back to "move mode" and changes his directions instead of pulling off an iso move. If you watched me play you'd think if my players are drunk or something. The shared movements of the left stick often result in some sort of weird dancing.

2k will stick to these controls, won't they? :( I really hate it. Freestyle moves with the right stick are way better, at least for me.

You don't need to use the two button moves, they are just a variation. I don't use those much. Only the behind the back and the in and out. Alot of times I have trouble with this because you have to remember that holding the aggressive modifier causes the player to drive if you press it before moving. Say I want to move from the top of the key to the wing, but I am facing the basket. If I hold the aggressive modifier and press towards the wing, my player will attempt a driving right animation which sends him more towards the basket. I just have to remember to start moving my player and then press turbo. I also danced alot before I learned the moves and lowered the sensitivity of my Rumblepad's analog sticks.

I partly agree with you, though. It's about time basketball game developers moved the shot button(S) to the triggers instead of the face buttons.

You don't even need to do iso with the behind the back. Just tap the spin move button twice. Y for XBox controller.
