Anyone know how to copy and paste the coach game plan? Every time I copy and paste it doesn’t actually do it. I have manually go into each team and set up the defensive coaching schemes.

Does anyone know how to draw a shooting foul after pump faking? There are no issues getting your guy to bite on a pump fake, but I can't seem to figure out how to draw a foul after getting your defender in the air. In some previous versions of 2K you could just move the left control stick in the direction of the leaping defender, I've tried that plus everything else I can think of but no luck. Anyone been successful with this?

Wait until the fall closer to you before going up and also aim your right stick at them.

So bit of a dumb question, but how do I get the Kawhi signature stops to work? I've been tapping L2 and I just can't get the animations. Also wondering about how to get some of those unique crossovers to work the one in Steve Nash's package or that Chris Paul look one way and then cut the other

I think I've read that this is just busted. You have to manually do it. Good thing is that since it only matters in-game, if you're playing MyLeague you just need to do your own team's settings 29 times, then edit the 29 teams defensive settings against you (as opposed to editing in every team's settings against every other team, which would take eons).

Is it me or are the rhythm step jumpers broken. There are players that are known for step back jumpers in the league n I can't hit nothing. Anyone else having this issue or some tips on timing?

I’ve been wondering the same thing. No matter how much u practice w/ Harden I can never get the timing right. The visual cues I use for normal jumpers don’t apply to step backs. I also have this same problem when timing layups. [emoji53]

Is there a button you guys push to pick up loose balls? Like my players just stand around and watch as the ball rolls around at their feet only to have the other team pick it up.

Did they get rid of the rondo fake pass layup? Where he goes behind his back? I'm guessing yes, but it would be cool if you could trigger it someway

Behind the back is randomely activated if you have the right layuo package.
Fake pass layup seems not to be possible since the 2K18 edition, correct me if I'm wrong.

I think I was able to figure it out. And this goes for pretty much all jump shots no matter the person. I will explain how afterwards. What you have to is what for them to jump. As soon as the feet leave the ground that's when you release the face button or trigger, whichever you use.


The jump shots look are difficult because every player brings the ball up to shot differently. Some players bring it up while they are jump and some have it almost above their head b4 their feet leave the ground. But regardless of the person the window is ALWAYS the short span when their feet are leave the ground the top of the jump. Now you have to remember that that players don't jump but a few inches of the ground 6" to 8" when they shoot. And it happens really quick. That's the sweet spot to get you slightly early, slightly late and GREENS. Go into 2KU and try it. Once you get a green release go to instant replay and slow mo the jumper that you just hit. The thing to watch for is their toes are just off the floor, where the ball is (above their head or are the still raising it to shoot), and watch when they reach the top of the jump. That's your release window, regardless of the speed of the shot. So when you look at step backs they step or jump back and load up the shot. Apply the same logic i just explained. You will start to figure it out. Same for layups and floaters.

Sam i'd really like to know what the key to shooting is this year. Wide open shots just aren't falling at a high rate. Are there any new keys to shooting this year?

See my post from today 4/11. It should help.

In mycareer is there any way to call for a defensive switch? I can never guess whether or not the game wants me to switch defenders until the arrow icon changes and half the time I guess wrong and give up an easy basket. The other reason being sometimes coming back down the court my 6'0 155lbs PG gets set to their center and he just gets dominated in the post whilst the rest of the team stands around getting their thumbs stinky. Surely the defensive IQ has to be better than that?

ive read if you double tap the right stick down you can switch.
