    Yeah LT now gives a decent contest, holding right stick gives a better contest, and then pressing triangle gives best contest. Each one comes with risks and rewards.

        How to do the Rondo-Like pump Fake? I know it is in the game cause I just did it by chance, but I have not been able to replicate it... 😊

          Has anyone found a fix around this?
          even with ACE off this seems to still be an issue... when I get to the second half of games the matchups get out of wack... it's ridiculous... this ACE mechanic seems like it's more trouble than it's worth... it didn't even work correctly last year...

            You're talking about the one where he scoops the ball in one hand and pitches it up towards the hoop then spins back the other way? The best way to do these is in the post where you initiate a pump fake, and before that fake finishes, flick the stick back the opposite direction -- you can move the stick one way for the initial fake, and then just make sure to flick it again another direction before the initial fake ends.

            It's not going to be something you can do every time.

            On drives, your best bet is a little tougher to decipher as I'm not 100 percent sure either the best way to mimic Rondo would be here. I would probably try to do a jump stop, and then maybe the square button with certain players will initiate that pump fake, but really not sure.

              not sure if anyone has answered yet, but before the games when youre in the locker room theres an option to press R3 (ps4) to enter your match closet (cant remember what its actually called) and there you equip all gear for your match. It stays from then on until you go back in and change it, if you wanna buy a new pair and wanna change for instance.

                How do dribble hand off work this year? I've done it a few time uncalled for. But you can't just call someone over to the ball like last year.

                            There is also the holding LS towards YOUR basket and pressing Y where you jump straight up and the RT and Y where you (attempt to) swat it into next week.

                              So have myGM with the Lakers and saw I only have a 2nd round pick for the draft at the end of the season.

                              I completely suck and it seems that I might miss out on a top 3 pick here. I did notice that my 1st rounder who is owned by the 76ers is top 5 protected.

                              So just to confirm if I end up with a pick in the top 5 I'll get that 1st round pick back?

                                You should. I have MyGm with the Sixers it it has the Lakers pick as top 5 protected.
