Don't Give Out Ya Whole Bag of Trick But What's Some of Your Go To Moves

[AllStarDaDon]

What are your usual go to iso moves? Combinations etc?

My favorite move to pull is the hesitation. It freezes the defender and I usually get to rack with ease when I pull it off, especially in transition.

I also like to sizeup my defender. One sizeup left, one sizeup right, then I drive. If I feel like I have enough space, I go all the way to the cup or look for the kick out. If i feel like I don't have enough space then I'll hit a stepback if I have the slightest bit of space with a good shooter I'm pulling the J.

I love the misdirection on the pick and roll. First I'll set you up by using the pick a few times. Then I'll hit you with a misdirection. Go towards the pick and then quickly crossing over/or going behind the back to the other side.
Or I'll use the Jeremy Lin move as I like to call it. Call for the pick when it's set, jab step in direction of the pick and then explode the other way.

Don't give out ya whole bag of tricks but what is some of your go to moves?

quick sizeup to hezzy to a dribble-through-the-legs to a cross to a quick stepback-n-cross to a two step finger roll. (just joking euro step sucks. just a hopstep for me)

The step back and then cross is effective as hell when used right. Ive had dances with people with me using CP3 and doing that against them.

One move I didn't incorporate in my CP3 arsenal in 2K12 is his side hop jumper. I'm good with using the pick and roll and shooting his leaners at the elbows. But I really need to practice this and start doing this with him in 2K13. Right when he does his side hop jumper in this video I usually would do a hesitation then pull the jumper. It's similar to this move, but there's a difference.

Ive never seen any one try this while facing me in 2K, but it's in the game though:

I use this a lot. Its the best way to free yourself or to get in a good position to pass to the roller. Just run your defender into the pick then reverse direction with a behind the back to not dribble off his foot and you're free.

Triangle is the most important button in my attack. Not the double tap cheese... But I use it to go where I want to go before attacking.

This year, I'm really adding the P&R to my number one arsenal. It was a little too flawed for me to truly use in past 2K's without a nice bounce pass. It always got picked off due to poor passes.

Other than that...high screens and then charging to see who the opponent would switch off to...quickly find that out and pass out...if its not a great shooter, re-evaluate my offense and run certain plays I'm familiar with. Can't name specific ones though, lol.

P&R, Hesitation, or HopStep + Dish. Those are my simple go to moves. I'm not gonna give out a whole bag of skittles here, though.

I'm deadly with the PnR in 2K, with bounces in this year the guys I'm in leagues with are in for a long year.

When I run the PnR I look to see what my on ball defender is doing, going under or over. If over and I have a good shooter like CP3, D-Will, Steph Curry etc) I'm setting my feet and shooting it. If I have a real good shooter I get a bit fancy with leaners and runners etc. If they go over the screen I'm driving and checking for my shooters in the wings first(works great off set plays) if no look then I keep driving with my ball handler if I have a bit of space or a big man waiting with the help I'll float it over, if not and I have a lane imma lay it up of course.

Then the misdirection on the PnR of course. Like I stated in my post above. Or I'll call for the pick and when the pick is set do a hesitation and go the other way. or do a hesitation and drive in the direction the pick is set.

Then there's the pick and pop that I run frequently, and then the lob. If I'm playing with my Knicks you're in for a long day I'll run that PnR with Melo. To many options when Melo is the PnR ball handler, the focus will be on him so I'll usually tell Chandler or Amare to roll for a easy lob. Or with the Clippers run LAC Angle 1 I believe it's called. It's a side PnR for Blake and Deandre if the D over commits Lob City! But with Melo and Kidd at the 1 for NYK this year ahhh man.

Another effective misdirection move out the PnR is from the triple threat. I'll call for the pick when it's set, I'll do the triple threat jab step away(when he puts his footback and holds the ball in the air T-mac does this alot) then i'll explode. Once I get in the lane I'll read the defense and make my decision accordingly. But usually it's a layup or a foul from a help defender coming from the wing.

Lol I gave you guys wayyyy to much, that's all I'm giving out. ^_^

My top 3 go-to moves in the game:

1. Variation of Post-up moves
2. Triple Threat, then drive to the hoop or do a pull-up jumper
3. Pick-and-Roll, Pick-and-Pop and Pick-and-Slip

I always forget about the pick and slip.

I'll pull it out every now and then, unless the hedger on the pick comes with a hard trap it's a easy 2 points for the big man.

Re: Don't Give Out Ya Whole Bag of Trick But What's Some of Your Go To Moves

My favorite would be to jab step to the right a few times to see if I get him leaning. if he does shade me or react to the direction of my jab step, I go the other direction which usually gets him off balance and he scrambles to defend the driving lane instead of being tight on me. Once he anticipates my drive i usually hit them with a step back isomotion move (L2+hold back on the LS) then hit him with a jumper if he gives me enough space.

If I don't get enough space with the step back i usually do a spin or a cross which leads me to a pull-up or a momentum shot or if the driving lane is there I just take it to the rack. I just did this yesterday with Tyreke Evans in a quick match against a bulls user. I was up 4, sized him up and hit that dagger 3 with a minute left.

Double behind the back.(both user and Cpu)
Triple threat spin-spin jumper or a step back jumper(both user and Cpu)
2 in&outs- hesitation-pull up(user vs user)
the move where you sprint out of the post( i forgot what it's called) well that move then a spin if the defender stays with you, I use a step back jumper if I beat the defender or go to the rim, with the sprint move. I do this move at the elbow area, with a great mid range shooter carmelo or kobe for example. Works for both CPU and User vs User

Those were simple moves. I have better moves but I feel like I already told too much lol.

I never tried the double behind the back.

But 2 in and outs? I'm curious to how that would work....you hit the same defender with the 2 in and outs or one for the on ball defender, and if you shake him you hit the help defender with one?

Yes it's two, they both work if a help defender is coming or is near I'll go into a spin or behind the back depending the how close the defender is. But it's two on one defender. The first in&out is a fake in&out I'm just seeing how the defender reacts the second in&out I'll drive or go into the hesitation depends how the defender reacts. If they didn't bite on the second one, I'll go into the moving hesitation not the standing one, then I'll pull up or do an escape dribble depending on the defenders reaction.

You need space to use this move. Also this combo can be used on fastbreaks and in the halfcourt it will just look different. The halfcourt version works better but the fastbreak move setups other moves in my arsenal. The key to all of my moves is to have a light touch on the leftstick because it allows you to do moves quickly, and it makes the ball handler more responsive.

You should have a lot of separation if you do it properly or enough space to hit that mid range jumper. or a layup or dunk it depends. This move forces the defender to do something and not just sit there.

Sounds nasty man, sounds very creative.

I would love to see these moves in actions add me on XBL: BoricAllStar718

I could show you a few moves to..
