R2 just gives you the close control and nothing in between.pressure sensitive analog mean much more control much more easier and precise control. Even you compare it with R2 imagine you controlling both normal move and r2 move just with the subtle touch touch of your analog.how cool is that !
I agree, there is no way of doing that, to date you can only:
1st -- hold R2 + the lefty analogue for close control... but you cannot accelerate nor dribble with the ball, and you can only RUN with the ball, it is actually impossible to dribble... the R2 close control is simply a slow run but it is not a slow dribble as some people like to believe.
2nd -- holding or tapping the R1 sprint button, and then releasing the R1 sprint button and subsequently holding the R2 button: resulting in a sudden change in speed and the direction in which the player is running with the ball, but again, having absolutely nothing to do with DRIBBLING.
I hope this new feature (if it turns out to be truth) results in a much greater distinction between merely RUNNING with the ball and actually DRIBBLING with the ball,
That alone would make the game significantly better, though as a result, man-marking must also be pressure sensitive to make it a balanced one-versus-one battle.
