Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

^^^^still doesnt sound right. Im pretty sure to do triple threat (no launch) you need to not be dribbling and flick R stick. A different direction will give you a different move. If you want to launch out of you triple threat move, press and hold the direction you want to go with L stick, while in the middle of doing the initial triple threat move.

Easier that what way? The way I do it is shot stick diagonally away from the rim to the left or right depending what side you wanna finish on

Guys how do I perform a stepback jumper? In practice mode I'm able to do it with Harden, but to be honest, I feel like I'm doing it by mistake. There's no consistency, so that leads me to believe I'm doing it coincidently.

I also play with Harden and just can't get that move to work. I play the sideline view though which apparently is in the minority so I'm not sure if that's making it harder to perform.

Quick question. If I set my substitutions to "fatigue" instead of "rotation" (I think it's rotation) is it ignoring the minute allocation and going purely off play and how tired guys are, or will it still try to get everyone their correct playing time?

I too play on broadcast view, the euro step would be pulling the shot stick to around 7/8 o'clock to finish right handed and 10/11 o'clock to finish left handed.

In the past it has disregarded minutes and just subbed out fatigued players, assuming it's still the same.

I'm having a hard time pulling off the euro step... Controls seem awkward.

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

The arrow between green and red is the sweet spot. It is basically adding up the minutes for your starters and backups at that position.

Long story though is it depends: I.E. as the Pelicans I want to start Holiday(PG) Gordon(SG) and Pondexter(SF) but then want Tyreke Evans to cover most of the backup minutes for all three positions by switching them out individually at different times. In the calculator though the PG and SG will still be in the red because he is listed as a SF and all his minutes will be calculated there. So under Small Forward I will be above the arrow in the green. See what I am saying?

I'm not good at determining how many minutes a player should play so I in 2k15 I used to do what the scout said most of the time. So since that's not in the game anymore what should I look at to set the minutes?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Contrary to what the in-game command menu says, to perform a triple threat step back, you don't hold down R2 / RT and flick the right stick back.

I dont see it. It doesnt trigger the right animation.

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I don't know if I just have not played around a lot with it yet, but it seems like the moves we can do on the post are less compared to last year. Is this the case?

For example: Choosing whether you want to face up from a post position away from your man, and towards your man, now this seems to be done automatically when you let go of L2.

Another example is that it seems like the face-up --> launch is gone.

Is there anybody who's figured out these moves yet using the new control scheme?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

the advice i'm looking for is on console...i have mostly been a mlb the show gamer on ps3 and when i've played nba2k on ps3 it's been clunky (doesn't seem to be very smooth with the controls).

What is the recommended console for this game? What console plays smoothest? Thanks for the help and i hope this question is ok for this thread.

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Anyone know how to keep the camera the same for each game in MyLeague? I asked on the q&a thread, thx whoever answered, they said they changed it in a quick game though & it asked if you wanted that as your default. I haven't seen this option of setting a default camera in MyLeague, so every new game I have to change it. Am I missing something obvious here?

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Guys, I am playing on MyPark. First time playing NBA 2K. I got no ideas why people can dunk do easily under the basket. What is the key to dunk under basket? And why people shoot so easily and score?

After toying with freestyle practice, apparently, letting go of l2 initiates a face-up animation you can branch out of. It's just like any size-up or hesitation animation where you find the right spot to explode.

Unfortunately it looks like the game automatically picks the face-up animation for you, so there's no option on choosing how you want to face-up (either towards your opponent or away from your opponent).
