The precision shot button, which also gives you access to chip shots, is a lot more value to the control scheme than using that button for advancing shots. You can still click in the stick after the ball is released to play a non-premeditated advancing shot, obviously your timing window isn't very long to do that, but you can.Not sure why they can't bring DBC14 controls? Can @MattW let us know?
That's the only difference in actual controls, everything else is subjective "feel", which is hard to judge and even harder to quantify. Keeping the Pro controls as close as possible to the DBC14 versions is always the aim.
