TEACHING YOU HOW TO STEAL WITHOUT REACHING IN.

[ironwork]

now we all have had this happen especially on HOF. we go for the steal and the ref calls a reach in. now if you pay attention closely i am going to help you limit your reach in fouls. i am not gonna eliminate them completely but i will tone them down for you. when you are on defense and are guarding the ballhandler closely. you will see a red pulsating circle in your player icon. when that circle appers is when you want to attempt steals. very important to not reach in unless you see the indicator. just because you have a bead on him using the intense D button dosent mean your at a viable time to reach. only reach when the icon is showing that circle. i try to time the reach when the circle is at the highest point it usually works for me. try this out and see if you dont tone down your fouls. like allways ill post a video when i can any questions guys fell free to ask.

I turn off all player indicators that are turn off-able. Is this something I'll still see? Either way, can you explain when the circle tends to pulsate in terms of positioning against the ball handler? In other words, if I couldn't or didn't want to watch for the pulsating circle, when is a good time to go for the steel? I think I have 1 or 2 on ball steels since this game came out.

It's not that; it might be that a lot of us are at work. But thanks.

I had no idea that pulsating circle was even there, news to me. I saw both of your topics yesterday and was like hmmm, i need to try this out. Got home from work late last night, the girlfriend was already asleep, so I went right for 2k12.

I tell you what, your suggestions definitely opened my eyes to some things. I thought I was already pretty good with the iso motion and the size ups, but I had no idea that I was just scratching the surface. I was getting to the basket at will once I started to use the L stick as you suggested, thanks man. Was never able to get onball steals, now maybe I will.

Re: TEACHING YOU HOW TO STEAL WITHOUT REACHING IN.

news to me, i always thought it had to do with the opponents dribble and something to do with movement. never thought that i should steal then

Never sweat the lack of responses. Some gamers are too prideful to admit they didn't know something.

Seriously, I'm still trying to "Blake Mamba" (if you have ever seen that 2k11 trailer you know what I"m talking about).

Yeah man, it's just a laziness issue. Much easier to read a post and not comment than to leave constructive feedback.

This forum also probably has thousands of quiet lurkers (you know who you are).

Anyways, I have NEVER heard of this tip before...and now I'm going to have to implement what you're saying. Cheers to you!

Re: TEACHING YOU HOW TO STEAL WITHOUT REACHING IN.

also, and i'm not sure about this, but if you hold the left stick away from the defender and reach - he won't 'dive' for the ball and end up behind the ball handler. the few times i've tried this it's worked but i can't be sure.

Re: TEACHING YOU HOW TO STEAL WITHOUT REACHING IN.

i didn't know this tip but in my 1996 season with bulls, i steal the ball 15 times per games, in HOF, so it's not important for me but i will try it in my next game.

when i play bad i try to steal the ball and i make a lot of foul. but when i play very well, my record is with jordan, 7 steals in the game, and with the bulls 19 steals in the game lol

in my 2 last game, i try to avoid to make foul and when i fell the moment i try to steal and it's ok!!
