Re: The 2K24 Post up/Triple Threat/Face up game Thread

From a defensive view. I really like when someone throws a pass into the paint. They get pushed around or out of the paint or worst out of bounds.

I've been enjoying drawing fouls on jumping players.

Been working on this move.

Got someone to chase the hesi lol. If they don't move I usually pull up.

I might be wrong but for post hook timing I look at the foot since IRL it's mainly feet work. I count 1-2 (steps) and release right as feet are leaving the ground. This works on HOF pretty consistently if I focus.



My release timing is Set Point (not sure if that only effects jumpers).

Will try this out. I'm terrible at time hooks right now. I feel like the animations are inconsistent. Sometimes I'll get an insanely fast one where the bar fills up in 0.2 seconds.

Hook shots are very similar to regular shots. In that they have different timing depending on the situation and contest level.

Have the triple threat badge gold on my guard and I don't notice it at all? Sure, it triggers, but I don't LAUNCH out of the post. If anything I get Oohs and Ahhs on a jab step tho. Lol

I totally get what you mean. If you're getting the ahhh and ooohs that means the defender is frozen for those few seconds. That's why I think it's a death sentence if you let the computer defend.

Ok so forever I thought I would never be able to hit these kind of jumpers with Karl Malone. Or any other player that has in the past. I'm talking straight up catch, face up, measure the defender and pull up for a jumper. I've complained about this in the past. I thought I could only hit these with Dirk (90 and up med range)

https://twitter.com/jeebs9/status/1712994031020507545?t=Y8HWA7TVTNBmMVUZTCGGDg&s=19

It's very obvious Karl Malone did that throughout his career.

But I realized they dropped his med range rating to 82. I was able to do that. I looked at his badges and there it was. He has that middy badge just like Dirk.

I'm going to do more testing on this. But this was in PNO. My opponent was playing on ball defense here. But it was vs Darvin Ham . I wonder if this could be knocked down say a Ben Wallace was covering me. The shot feedback said Excellent Release-52% contested. But I wonder if that face up jab animation gives a tiny room. Obviously the step back gives space there.

If your a small guard or a big guard. Baron Davis is going to work on you. I can't imagine if I played with a Melo. Or anyone that with post up badges. I'm do all this with no badges or even post control ratings.06-07 Baron Davis has nothing.

Re: The 2K24 Post up/Triple Threat/Face up game Thread

Post control and close shot are low on all my toons, but years past you could still drop step and get a good look.

I have 50 strength as a guard and I can literally shove my man under the basket, pump fake, get him in the air, and my shot air balls.

So what? Shot close is standing layup now? Shot close used to be hooks, jumpers, and push shots at the 6-8 foot mark. I did like how floaters are considered layups now...

But my 6'10 88 driving layup isn't good enough for a back down, drop step, standing layup?

I don't like this change at all.

I agree it's definitely a weird change. But I think I've figured it out. You just can't mash in the paint with drop step with anyone now. Not every player should be able to do it. That's why around the rim you got to find another way to finish. I've been finishing using the stick to get different layups. Or get wide open. I kind of welcome the change now. Now you can't just kind of cheese this weak spot.

You have to select a better finish.

These are the ones you're hitting with your guards. But can't finish with your bigs right?

No... I'm talking mash him under the hoop and up fake with square, trying to get the pump foul or beating his reaction. I get neither mostly, so I stopped.

I don't think it's "cheese" to have a clear height, weight mismatch and trying to exploit it tho.

This year standing contested layups are 100% miss. At the same time they have 100% make threes.

Problem?

I've missed a bunch of these with Shawn Kemp. I know what you're talking about. This is when you don't have the Masher Badge. I agree with what you're saying in the 100% make vs a 3 pointer. But all you need to do if you have a mismatch is be a little patient. I know it's so easy for me to sit here and blame you. I was having the same problem about a month and half ago.

The reason I kind is because not just every player can go down there and get buckets and become a mismatch. Let me see if I have some clips. Because I was definitely missing shots like you explained with clear mismatches.
