Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

A lot of people online love to play tight/deny defense on your shooting guard and small forward.

Fist Horns Flip 35 will destroy those defensive settings by creating backdoor alleyoop options for the shooting guard and small forward:

If you opponent changes his defensive settings after you hit the alleyoop a few times and starts sagging off your players, then he becomes vulnerable to the power forward/center and point guard coming off screens for three point shots.

If all four of those immediate scoring options are taken away, then you can always just run a pick and roll/fade with the point guard in the final branch point of Fist Horns Flip 35.

how to I explode towards the rim? It doesn't matter if I'm using Westbrook or D.Rose I can't get that explosive first step towards the rim, I'm always getting bumped even if a big is defending me.

gotta use some size up like hesitation crossover to blow past. yes it matters when u use westbrook or rose as they may have different size up signatures. study the move and see where the ball hand is, and use the left stick with turbo and go opposite the ball hand direction to create a crossover.

Thanks. Is there a cue as to when I should us the LS and turbo to go the opposite way? Like when the ball reaches the players hand or something?

This is the info I'm looking for as well. Seems like I almost never explode the way the CPU does. Some detail would be appreciated.

The best advice is to go into freestyle practise mode and get the timing for explosions right.

yup. when u see the defender moves his feet and "buy" yor move, hit it. i got a video here to show the breakdown of the controls (starting from 0.57 onwards).

sometimes, a "double" crossover move is needed to blow past. u'll need the right stick to do that second cross.

utilise the pnr plays with crossover combo. more effective and efficient imo (i find calling plays easier than calling picks for some reason). check out the videos here (u have to watch in youtube as i have my controls written below in the details section).

they are mostly using the left stick to bait the defender.

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

One of the problems i have been having online is when playing against the cavs or thunder(i play as spurs btw) the opponent switches lebron or durant to the pf/c position and i always end up with a mismatch like parker guarding lebron or duncan guarding durant.

How do i stop this? it still happens even when i change the match-ups manually.

Long time reader, first time poster, so please be gentle!

This is probably an idiotic noob questions, but I can't find this anywhere. How do you do a "pull-up jumper?" Is it literally just..you stop moving and shoot?

The reason I ask is that I'd love to get the shot creator badge, but I don't want to have to spam spin shots all game long. I'd like to mix things up.

Thanks

Sorry if it has been asked earlier but what is the difference between absolute and camera relative with controller settings for dribbling moves?

u need to watch some 2ktv dude.
leave the left stick to neutral and press the shoot button or hold the right stick to shoot. do note the timing for release is different from normal shooting.
