I keep doing it... But I don't know how I'm doing it. But how do you shoot off the glass? I remember it being L2 and shooting back in the day. But I couldn't find anything in the manual.

Press up on the shot stick to shoot off the glass

How do you play the Slam Dunk Contest? I can't find that option anywhere.

I'm guessing you have to play a season game or mygm.

Do you need a certain layup package to do floaters? I can never seem to do them on MyCourt

Escape Dribbles?

OK, I haven't been able to get a response. And I've watched a number of dribbling tutorials with no mention of them.

I'm going to assume that escape dribbles went away when they added size ups in all directions.

If anyone knows otherwise, please post instructions. Thanks!

Sadly, I think your right.

Anyone know what I have to change to make Kevin love play as a post up power forward instead of just parking at the 3 point line? I know I can run certain plays to do it but I'd like it to be as I bring the ball up he starts down low.

Have you tried changing PoE to "Feed the Post" and using a 3-out 2-in set?

Also...if he's your best post option, then probably you can call a Quick Play to post him up as you're bringing the ball up the court.

Is directional passing a real struggle for anyone else, without using icons? It's starting to get really frustrating. I try to icon pass when I can, but if im in a hurry to get the ball to a guy, or trying to throw a bounce pass to a cutting guy, I can't use it, and as a result, I end up throwing the ball to 2-3 nearby guys who are bunched up near me and in the way of where I'm trying to get the ball to.

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I will try that. I thought I a few years ago there was a coach or gameplan setting I could change or under edit for love I could do it but I haven't been able to find that

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Any advice on limiting damage in the paint with a subpar team? I'm 0-3 with the Knicks on default Pro, getting annihilated inside every single game. My on-ball D is alright but my CPU-controlled bigs get killed, granted they are outmatched thus far as it's been a tough schedule to start.

I've tried adjusting everything there is to try to project the paint - go under screens, the lowest ball pressure setting, POE of "protect the paint" and it doesn't matter. I've also tested the opposite (hedge/ICE/ball pressure) to try to make entry passes more difficult. The CPU gets 14-20 points each game from passes to a guy standing directly under the rim for an easy lay in. Seems like my CPU teammates do not bump cutters the way the CPU does and they often fall asleep and allow an easy cut to the rim. Porzingis and Lopez do block quite a few shots though.

MIN - 68 PIP, they only had four 3PA
LAC - Blake had 25/19 (LAC took 34 threes)
HOU - Dwight had 26/18

LAC and HOU were blowouts, not that that's unrealistic given the sorry state of the Knicks. But not sure what else I can adjust, might simply have to buckle down and prepare for a rough first season.

I'm seeing the same things as you are. No matter how much I go into practice and hit the sticks, I'm still seeing my AI teammates becoming brain dead throughout the game and that is playing with the defense minded Bucks.

I'm hoping a patch or two helps out without upsetting the other parts of the game.
