    Re: EXPLAINING THE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SIZEUPS

    I'm not gonna lie ironwork...it's a little tough to understand your writing.

    But I can see there is great information here and I am just trying to absorb it all in and implement into my game. Thanks for posting!

          Guys what ironwork was saying ,works really fine.Last game instead of flicking or pushing the stick to do sizeups ,i was just feathering it a bit like ironwork said(pressure sensitive) ,and all of a sudden:my defender was shaking ,not by much ,but enough to drive to the left or right side.

          Now when you start driving and the defender rushes to follow don't rush it too for a crossover or spin to the other side ,it's a useless bump.Instead wait a little while your guy has the ball in his hand until your defender comes on your way and now it's the right time to cross.I thought i had to cross people quickly to get by them but somehow the cpu reacts a little later ,than i thought when i started playing the game.

          To sum it up,you get much better "cleaner" drives when you thumb the left stick lightly rather than pushing it all the way.It feels like you're more in control.

          All the above at Allstar diff. with on ball d at 50 and d awareness at 50(like default).

          Oh and another hint...If you're using direct passing (not icon) and feather lightly the stick while you pass to the direction you want, your passes go faster and more accurate.I've seen a ton of bounce passes that way instead of the icon method.But your target has to be open and/or on the move for the crisp passes to work.

            yes but what people need to know is crossovers are also pressure sensitive as well.

              I go left and right and get only one type of cross
              i was never talking about crossovers i was talking about size-ups go to edit player look in the menus it will have 4 separate iso. then go back and reread my posts. its to early on the west coast for this lol

                Din't know that.

                I'll have to try some of this tonight. I never used size ups much as I enjoy the manual crossovers more. Watching animations I'm not controlling is not as fun, but they look like they work much better.

                Wish someone would do a crossover tutorial.

                  i can do a crossover tutorial also. i have tips for crossovers useing the LT and crossovers not useing LT simply useing the sticks. i also have tips on escape dribble pull ups. i play this game alot but my word is not the end all say all. if you can take a few things from me and it helped you thats all i wanted. also you do control where you want to go with sizeups, you can even contol what hand you want the ball to go in midanimation. money is tight i have a family, but i promise ill have vids to help you guys soon. if anyone has a PVR and xbox live i can show them and they can tape it, we can do a dual commentary.

                    bezo the thing is you CAN control what you are doing with this years sizeups. because they come in short bursts. i have alot of tips on sizeups/ crossover/ or just ballhandleing in general. i will help you as soon as i get a pvr.

                      Creating space and clasting past defenders like I've always wanted to. Why is this sort of stuff not covered in the manual or in the tutorials?!?

                      THANK YOU
                      at least i helped someone thank you!

                        CORRECT! if you get good at what im trying to explain you will read and react accordingly. it doesn't require mongoose reflexes,just some good ole fashioned practice.

                            yes please help him, I wanna see these vids. Because when I press left to right left to right, I just get the same type sizeup. Up and Up works decent though.

                              do me a favor and use L2 CROSS 7. its a good way for you to learn control and what im trying to explain. first just rock the ball from side to side get a feel for when to switch. the defender will start to bite if you have him zoned in on you. then at the last second flick the stick and he will give off a good fake. the important thing to remember is you want to have control dont get crazy with the sticks. these moves are pressure sensitive. pressing up,up,up,up on a foward iso is also great. dude ill help you anyway i can if your on xbox hit me up.

                                Just found this thread and I am at work so I haven't been able to try anything yet. Looks promising.

                                Thanks Ironwork, for the thread and for your patience and many different explanations.
