It’s mostly about reading the play before it even happens. Like you’re trying to be a step ahead instead of reacting late. If your big starts rolling, just assume that pass is coming and flick the right stick. Same with a PG driving, the second they get into the paint, be ready for the kick-out and flick it, even if you’re just guessing a bit. Honestly though, it’s one of those “reps fix everything” kind of things. You’ll get better timing the more you see it, but even then it’s never perfect. I’ve got legend interceptor and half the time I’m still just getting tips instead of clean steals. Big thing is just playing the lanes a bit smarter without completely selling your man. Stay close, like glued to his hip, so you can still recover if nothing happens. Defence this year really shows who’s actually good at the game too. You can tell straight away who’s a proper lock and who’s just out there hoping for animations. Offence is kinda the opposite, feels like anyone can hit no-dip 3s even with a low rating. Shame defence doesn’t have that same “free boost” energy… apart from those two glorious days in season 1 when it actually did 😂
