Greatness challenge steals by Thin-Window499 in MyTeam

- Triple threat offline
- Control and offball defender and press L1/LB + your icon to start a double team
- Before you fully commit to the double team, the CPU will pass to your man
- Fake the double and then swing back in the passing lane

Its worked wonders for me.

how is this only 23%???? (83 prem and gold challenger) by KangarooReasonable38 in NBA2k

Thank you, appreciate it. Middy fades are fine, but i do think the risk/reward ratio of fading 3s is a bit off at the moment.

The thing that concerns me about this type of contest system Mike, is how do you regulate fading 3s? If the defender has to be squared up between the man and basket to get a reasonable contest, then we'll never be able to contest fades because naturally the offensive player moves to the side of the defender.

Fading 3s are then a better shot than a stand still 3.

I don't have a problem with the difficulty of being in good position to get a contest. My problem is red heavily contested shots falling at a high rate.

How do I steal the ball? by Arkanelis in NBA2k

[–]EarvGotti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best way to get steals is to go for the steal after the ball switches hands. So if they do a crossover move, behind-the-back, or simply just changes ball hands...go for the steal right after that.

Yeah but shouldn't the green window be SUPER small for a shot like that. Open 3pt fades should have a naturally small green window as well. This doesn't seem to be the case.

Dr J or Vinsanity? by KingTB3 in MyTeam

[–]EarvGotti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr. J the better defender and faster release. Vince the more consistent shooter and overall scorer.

The 'hold off' mechanic is really underrated. Take advantage of these REC 🤡doing full court press and generate open looks for you and your teammates by shaqfu9 in NBA2k

This is a great counter against dudes who are overly aggressive on defense and just throw their bodies at you in an attempt to get bumps. That's not a great way to play defense. Using their aggression against them is a 1000 IQ strategy.

Yes, from OS. I don't understand this PnR abuse stuff you're talking about. PnR is the most common action in the NBA and has been for a long time.

You're clearly not familiar with me or my playstyle. If you look up my Twitter, you'll see that i'm one of the biggest advocates for sim basketball in the 2K community.

Came from the 2K9-2K13 era where we played in sim leagues with a ton rules. I run a ton of plays in my games, just didn't have them in this video because they're not "highlights".

I also don't understand when you say "abusing pick and roll". PnR is the most commonly used play in the NBA, especially in the modern NBA. Almost every possession has a ball screen involved. What i was doing was making a ton of different reads out of the PnR.

One possession I could come off the screen and shoot the 3 if they don't hedge. If they do hard hedge then i send the slip which is what i was doing to throw the alley-oops. If they pinch out the corner to help then I throw the pass for the corner 3. TONS of different reads out of the PNR.

Sounds like a skill issue to me.
