NBA 2K11 Isomotion/Shot Stick Help (360)

Think of each side as a shoulder. Flick the stick to one shoulder than the next.

It should be very simple, but it takes you to understand the concept first.

Thanks again. I just need more practice. I use the TV Style camera so I think that throws me off sometimes.

Half spin is actually pretty easy. Just do it in one back and forth motion - don't hesitate.

And you can get by players easily. Again, learn the system. Not sure what the problem is with all the suction non-sense being mentioned.

There are times when your defender will pretty warp/glide across the paint to engage in an animation with the ballhandler.

For instance, look at Artest on this play. Glides over to Garnett for the contest even though his momentum is taking him in a completely different direction.



It can get even worse than that, because some times the CPU will recover and warp towards the ballhandler forcing some animation of a really, really, tough shot attempt.

The Isomotion moves on offense took some time to get used to because my guys would always pull up for midrange shot or pump fake.

Wow. That happens to me like 90% of the time in this game. Glad to see it happen to others. Seems like i struggle too much to get by people and to get open shots.

One thing I've never been able to master in this game is the Pick and Roll and Pick and Pop, especially the PnP.

Is that the same as the PnR where you hold LB down and then release or is there something else that needs to be done?

I hope you were able to figure this out, but if you haven't the controls are to start off pressing LB to call for the pick and then tap LB again when the icon comes up over the guy who's setting the pick. That second tap will have the guy not roll to the basket but pop away for a J.

It's a good way to get big guys that can shoot like KG or Channing Frye some pretty open looks from 18-feet.

whats the best way to shoot a fadeaway in the post? does it have to do with timing on release ? I never seem to hit it with the likes of Amare, LA, Kobe

I think it has to do with the timing. Just try releasing at the top of their shot. Go in to practice if you have to. I've gotten pretty good at hitting the fadeaway, depending on who I'm shooting it with.

I'm having trouble with the Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin.

The directions say: While engaged in the post, holding the ball with a live dribble, perform a pumpfake, once the pumpfake starts, press Y

I pump fake with the x button to get it started then press y, but I never get the hop step spin. Any tips?

Just messing around with it in post moves practice and I'm not having an issue triggering it.

I thought that using the X button instead of the shot stick might have been your problem, but I have no trouble doing it that way either.

Are you sure you're using a high enough rated post player? iirc, low rated bigs can't perform that move.

I tried using Demarcus Cousins. I think his post rating is in the low 80's. I might try and change which player I'm using though. Thanks

It's definitely not the playing. As far as I know, ANY player can perform ANY post move, it's just a matter of them getting blocked or not :P Anyway are you sure you haven't dribbled yet? Live dribble = post player catches the ball and hasn't put it on the floor yet.
