I have them all but the Last Dance. Struggling with steals. Any help would be great.

You may want to try full court press defense. I played the Bad Boys game and had full court press on the last half of the 4th quarter...at least had 2 to 3 steals on inbound passes in that time frame...finished the game with 7 steals and really wasn't trying to get steals.

Jordan just went on a unstoppable streak, finished the game with 79 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and 8 steals. This was in that first one against the celtics. Finished with 33/54 shooting and had like 15 freethrows, missed the one three that I took, and btw I was mainly shooting from mid-range. I couldn't complete the fathers day thing. I had 55 points(LOL I couldn't hit a shot with anyone else) even tho I only needed 22. Had 11 assists rather even though I think you only need 6 or 3? I couldn't get the 9 rebounds though I only got 3. But I did really good, beating the Sonics 103-77(yes i kinda cheesed)

**** Clyde!!!!!! I was just under a minute left to win the shrug game and this son of a @#$%* scores against 3 defenders 2 of which were PF, a Center, and SF. He got his 21st point after 3 qtrs I held him down with 15pts.

I hate this challenge the most with a passion. I have restarted against this crap over 10 times already and the last method I used worked best and would of completed it if this prick didn't hit the last 3 jumpers in the 4th. Everything else was a breeze for me. I'm so frustrated I hate to work all the way up to that again.

This worked well for me so here's what I did.

Another member above mentioned the 1-3-1 zone which I used. Also went to coach settings and up the defensive pressure to the max & help defensive pressure to the max.

I moved MJ to the SF and Pippen to the SG

I put sag off on Kersey for on and off ball. I don't care if this dude drop 40 I just didn't want them to have Drexler open at all.

For the defensive match ups, I made sure I preferred Pippen on Drexler and play tight on & off ball and double always.

After that I made sure on the defensive end I play off ball D as the center. The Blazers like to try and run a play in which Drexler will run off screens from the back door to get open on the wing but with the zone and defensive pressure up Pippen or Jordan will pick off the pass resulting in a fast break for an easy two.

Also remember Jordan is on the juice in this mode, so when you have the possession, just let him rock with the ball and use the shot clock to kill time. Pull up jumpers cannot be stopped unless you miss the release time of the shot stick. It's like 98% going in if you get inside the perimeter. Though I failed the challenge, Jordan had 77 points shooting 87%

6/10 completed and I'm not afraid of the other challenges. It's the shrug that makes me want to punch Drexler in the face if ever saw him in real life Just kidding

lmao@ Jersey Baller...def know how frustrating that Clyde challenge is lol.

I just beat the Last Dance...I know some of you guys were asking how to get more steals. Here's what I did/what you can do:

1 - Put Jordan at Small Forward/Make him guard Bryon Russell. Russell's ball handling is a C..should make it easier to get steals from him than Hornacek.
2 - Run full court press. You can easily get 2-3 steals just from the inbounds pass alone.
3 - Run 1-3-1 zone. Put Jordan at Small Forward. He'll be on the far left side of the court. From my experience, most of the steals I've gotten from running this zone come on that left side...not sure why...it just seems the CPU is pretty predictable with its passes going left.
4 - Anticipate side inbounds plays from the Jazz. Whenever they call timeout, or there's a foul and the Jazz inbound from halfcourt, take Jordan and try to pick off the inbounds pass. You can get 1-2 of these if the Jazz inbound the ball enough. If you want to make it even easier, intentionally foul them to increase your opportunities at getting these steals. But really...I think it's unnecessary. You should have plenty of chances to get 4.

I've now completed 7/10 challenges. Yessirrrrr

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

I could beat everyone pretty easily, but the shrug game was sooo hard...

Clyde Drexler kept getting over 20, On my 3rd try he hit a fadeaway 3 under a minute left in the game...

My last attempt when I finally got it (5th chance), I just slowed the game down, and made sure there were barely any fastbreaks... I just had to get Jordans points more calmly, I almost didn't get him to 35 first half points, but I did...

4th quarter Drexler got hot, 12 points... He ended up with 19 pts and I finally beat it after multiple tries...

I figured how he got all his points, and they seemed mostly off of screens were his height would help him get shots off. So I went with a big lineup with Jordan at 1, Pippen at 2, Grant at 3, Cartwright at 4 and Purdue at 5... I did this just so Drexler wouldnt get off to a fast start and stop the Blazers inside scoring. By half time he had 4 pts... I put in the starting line up for the rest of the game, I just made sure to get on the big man in front of the pick when he'd be offball and didn't score really until the 4th quarter ...

Hope it helps somebody

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

YES!!! I FINALLY BEAT IT!!!!!!!





MJ HAD 91 POINTS ONLY MISSED 7 SHOTS. DUDE WAS A BEAST STRAIGHT PILE DRIVING DUNKS ON THE BLAZERS!!!!!



IN THE LAST 2 QTRS OF THE GAME I HELD DREXLER TO 19 POINTS. THEY KEPT TRYING SO HARD TO PASS IT TO HIM AND JORDAN KEPT STEALING THE PASS ALL THE WAY TO THE END. ALL I GOTTA SAY TO DREXLER IS.....




The method I mention above worked, man I love it when a plan comes together...



On to the next one baby....

Mods sorry if I'm being a bit too animated (lol) but the feeling of winning after so many restarts, I felt like I was playing a Nintendo system. Finally got it to work and finished!

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

I beat "The Shrug." Drexler had 19.


I had it set on Rookie. Chill out, I'm not proud of myself either.

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

The more I play this mode the more I don't llike it. You find yourself having to play in a way that is directly opposed to what real basketball is. 2k prides itself on being true to life, so why essentially force gamers to play the game like a glorified cheeser?

Yep, I realized after playing "The Arrival" once on Sim/Pro(I failed, I "only" had 54 points) that I'm not going to try and beat any of the challenges. I really, really hate chasing after stats. It sucks that I won't even have the option of bringing Mike into the league as a rookie, mostly likely it wasn't something that I was going to do anyway, so I'll live.

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

Cot Dammit, the "Father's Day Victory" is hard to complete. I just attempted to complete it, but fail short, yet again. I played Pro/Sim. I finished the game with MJ having 30 points, 7 assists, and 6 boards. I left MJ at SG the whole game. Granted it was still fun, seeing as though the Sonics were keeping it close and neither team was knocking down every shot, it was very SIM game, which through me off, because I started to just focus on winning the game instead of getting the stats.

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

I so far only played 3 challenges so far on Default Settings and changed to real shooting % and cheesed thru the Bad Boys and the Arrival and it was pretty easy for me. The shootout is another issue. Dominique is hard as hell to stop even with double teaming or playing tight. He made damn near every hard shot. I am going to play some more tonight.

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

I finished them all

Re: The Jordan Challenge "I beat it" "This is how I did it" Thread

Congrats Jersey!!

I finished "The Arrival" and I'm gonna try "Shootout" tonight. I dig the Jordan Challenges, it's a nice break from 'regular' games.

I finished them all
