Post shot guide?

[Storm12]

I need help with post shots, I know how to do fadeaway's and shimmy shots, up and under's etc... But the post protect, and the post protect spin shot are confusing me. Anyone know how to pull those moves off?

When I practice these in shoot around mode, I will eventually get it with the same movement of the stick few times consecutively. However, then the same stick movement will execute some other move. It seems to me as though there are too many distinct post moves assigned to quite similar movements of the stick.

I have had the same thing happen to me, maybe in the newer version they will list or make up controls for those moves. I just find it odd that their are a bunch of these shots with animations yet they have no real way of doing them.

I mean, the instructions are in the 'advanced controls' section from the 'pause' menu but still it's almost random as to which stick-movement produces a given maneuver.

Oh, I see. So doing a post fade in a certain place or doing a certain motion is random at best?

Based on experience it seems to be somewhat random, at least for me.

It does seem a bit random, but I was messing around with it and I found that you can only do a protect shot in a certain part of the paint. It has to be where your shooting hand is, if I had means of recording it or taking a pic I would show where it was.
