    Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

    Need help with pick and roll. My player gets locked down trying to come around them. I can't get 1/10 to work unless its designed by play vs holding lb.

      PLay it like real basketball. Get as close to the screener as possible. If you dont the defender might blow it up.

          Are the hop-step layup and the double shimmy in the game? If so, how do I do them?

            Hop step layups are done by driving towards the basket, tap square to initiate the hop, then finish the layup by pressing and holding square again.

            Shimmies are done in the post by holding r2 and pulling the shot stick away from the rim while your back is towards the basket.

                When on defense and being boxed out how do I get around my defender? I keep getting over the back calls

                  I get it done regularly, so im pretty confident that theres something going on on your end. Do you have controls on camera absolute or relative? If relative, adjust accordingly.

                    I suggest investing some time in scrimmage mode, to re-adjust to the nuances of the game…especially on defense. With the lack of both individual and team defensive settings in this mode, it will make you a much better on ball defender. It has for me, at least.

                    Since you can’t assign on ball screen, off ball screen and hedge options in this mode (or any settings for that matter) I found while fighting through a screen, slightly ease off LT and apply full pressure to RT works wonders. I encourage others to try this.

                      To get it to work with shot stick might be difficult because of the angle you play on. Try tapping square/X, simultaneously flick the left stick diagonally down right or left away from the basket and hold square/x to shoot.

                        I doubt my question will get an answer but can someone teach me how to play defense laterally on broadcast camera? Especially when defending against other users in Mypark im getting burned bad and before anyone says change my camera I just want to add I refuse to play on 2k camera. Either its Broadcast/Beluba camera or nothing at all.

                          I did a triple threat move and I have no idea how but it was sick. I basically palmed the ball, and swung it over the defenders head straight into double crossover launch. Mj used to do it a lot into a jabstep.

                            Can someone clarify the last item in the controller settings menu?

                            It's something related to passing but the Italian translation doesn't make any sense

                              This is how I learned to play on broadcast cam way back when, always relate the LS to the basket. If you are at the top of the screen in the corner to run to the basket the LS goes straight down to 6 o'clock. Top of the key straight back to the basket is right or 3 o'clock. Bottom of the screen in the corner straight to the basket is up or 12 o'clock.

                              Use that information to judge where you should move the stick when trying to take away driving lanes. Remember, never move directly left or right always move back along with it. Don't go to the spot where the ball carries is but rather to where he is going. Tap sprint to be able to keep up with more explosive ball handlers but don't hold sprint.

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.
                                I'm not really sure why people are disagreeing with the method I laid out unless it's a different move than what the in-game menu is saying (i.e., R2 + flick right stick away), which doesn't work for me.

                                Just try it before you denounce it.

                                To reiterate, you need to press both the left stick and the right stick at the same time while in the triple threat position. Depending on which direction you press the left stick, your player will do a different move (e.g., left stick away from basket = step back).
