Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Imma tell you what helped me! I was having the same problem. So last night I went back and read OG's post about the defense. He explains all of the new defensive improvements. Once I understood the improvements I began dominating on defense. The main to take from it is how the defense operates now. Especially the rotations. The part of the post where he explains the pre-rotate feature. This will help when your to breakdown. But you have to be careful because he also mentions no making to many changes because it confuses your defense. Don't get me wrong you can change a lot. Just remember that you can't completely shut down the entire team. Just decide what you are willing to give up and use your time outs to make adjustments. You have to be the coach and the player. Also, try to do things that make sense. For example. You can't force a Center middle then turn your post defense to front the post on the that same C. See what I'm saying. This should help you start to understand the game. Once you get you're going to really appreciate the game.

Where is OG's post?

I think this is the spin jumper? just double tap and hold X and you will spin and shoot a jumper.

No, it used to be flick-flick move but I can't seem to pull off any up-and-unders this game. It used to be my go-to move with Kobe.

something like this.

I do the pump-fake but can't get my players to follow it with a smooth transition into a floater/layup/whatever. They just do pump-fake and reset their position and do either a jumpshot or a regular layup.

In MyCareer, it says I skipped too many Connections with (ex: Demar Derozan) so this opportunity is no longer available. And now they have a "Red Sad Face" How do I get that to change so I can do a connection with that person?

Teach me how to score from the post (both low and high) with guys like Al Jefferson, DMO, Cousins etc. I am a player that always plays offline and i love to use my big men in the post (if they have the skill set of course) but this year even though it seems that post game is improved i find it a bit difficult to score since there are so many new animations and moves. Few years ago all i did was half hooks, fadeaways, pump fake step throughs or whatever they are called and few other generic moves, this year however repertuar is a lot bigger and i get confused what to press when.

Youtube video guide would be the best so all i need is the link to it.

Any tips on how to face up out the post?

Right now my post game right now only consists of backing down. I'm not sure how to utilize the face up properly since it's pretty damn hard to blow by your opponent which only leaves me with the option of taking a contested jumpshot which will most likely brick.

Hold down the LT to initiate contact with the defender (before you've used your dribble, obviously) and then release it, that'll get you your Sikma Step, etc.

I have not had much success using the jab step with Melo out of a face up, I generally face up/Sikma step and then try to go straight past the guy or take 1-2 dribbles and double tap X if I'm close enough to the rim. Thus far the jab has been a waste of time/effort in terms of getting past the defense, it's more effective to face up and then do a size-up move, then try to blow past your defender. The jab does create space for a jumper at times though.

I would agree with this. Play around with LT, eve if you already have the dribble, and don't feel like you have to press it all the way or hold it. Just "flashing" it with a tap while slightly moving, even with a defender on your hip, often creates space. Not necessarily for the jumper, unless you can combo a sig move to create room. But it often helps you create a lane to the basket for a layup or foul, without backing down.

What is a "Sikma Step" ?

Just an inside pivot, nothing fancy. Jack Sikma was the first big man to make it a routine part of his post arsenal. Simple but effective for getting off a quick, short jumper compared to the standard turnaround jumper.

I guess that term for it has gone by the wayside, I Googled and it found nothing outside of a few YouTube clips. /oldman

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

How do I blow by a defender after I pump fake him into the air? I always seem to run straight into him.
