    To understand how to beat someone that spams 3's, you have to understand one of the fundamental principles of basketball. That principle is to shoot the ****ing ball in the net. Look at the GS-SA series for example....In all of the games SA won, they matched or got in more 3's than GS did. The SA players were all prepared to shoot with GS that series

    You have to shoot the 3 if you want to win against people who are willing to shoot the 3 to win. If they get hot from 3, there is basically nothing you can do if you don't shoot 3's back. Look at the MIA-DAL 2011 series....DAL was ready to ****ing shoot the ball if they had a good look from 3. The closing game with MIA-OKC last year....Battier and Miller won the last game because they were ready to shoot the whole series and it eventually won them the final game.

    There's also that saying, live by the 3 and die by the 3. If you shoot consistent from 3, you can stay in games; and if you get hot you can win games. However, shooting 3s on a bad day will get you killed. Understand that the 3 is an important weapon in offense and don't get scared. However, if you use the 3 too much, it can swing the momentum in different heavy directions. Utilize the 3 well if you want to win games against people that are willing to shoot 3's too.

    On the specific matchup for GS.....I set tight defense on and off ball to all the shooters to contain their 3pt game somewhat. I also like to pick a team with a good defensive PG and play the PG on defense to shut down Curry. As much as the other warriors are good at 3's, shutting down Curry seems to be key winning the game for me. If you shut down Curry, usually the other Warriors can not win it by themselves. Warriors like Thompson and Barnes still are underrated in the game and seem to choke during crunch time. Jarrett Jack is an important x factor too, so watch out for him if your opponent knows how to use him.

    Most importantly, be ready to shoot against GS. It is helpful when you hang with them at their own game, which is chucking 3's.

      If find any style player that is one dimensional are pretty easy to beat... But if they have a good pick and roll game or a few plays to change it up then it's tuff to stop... If an offense doesn't take what the defense gives them and only plays a certain way.. That's bad offense and a good defense player that knows how to react can't be fooled 3 times in a row and def not all game... Most of these guys go back and forth 3times plus have a preferred spot to shoot from.... Alot of times u can bait them then go for there preferred spot and easily contest...

      Most are right u need to take the rebound and push it as look for easy shots early.. But don't take reckless shots is the game can easily get out of hand...

      Most of these guys if u actually take ur time on offense and shoot a high percentage making them take it out... Get out of rythem and frustrated

        Its beatable. Man 2 man switching amd getting a hand in their face.
        Also slow the game down and run a sound, patient offense. The 3 point cheesers most of them are rthym players. Another thing you can do is let the timer run on time outs. Slow em down. Theyll either quit or get frustrated the second they stop gojng in. It works.

          Keep it simple man2man defense, pressure shooters on the D-pad & switch everything in the defensive setting. Doing this will either force them off the 3pt. line or they would shoot a bad %. For every miss, you make them pay on the fastbreak by dunking and throwing Oops. Eventually momentum will suck the life out of their team and totally be in your favor because of all the dunks.

          Those type of guys are the easiest to beat, because they keep chucking away regardless of their 3pt%. You have to shoot some three's yourself or make sure your getting to the line to even out the possibility of them getting ahead. Even if they shoot a good % you'll be in the game to steal a win, if they shoot a bad % you should be blowing them out.

            Play against people you know lol.
            I haven't played Quick Matches since 2K10..partially due to Crew Mode and My player...but also people play so unrealistically it's just no fun.
            Playing zone defense helps a lot but it's pretty lame, because then the opponent also switches to a zone and apparently 2K becomes college hoops.
            I don't wanna be Jordan, I don't wanna be Bird or Isiah, I don't wanna be any of those guys.
            I want to look in the mirror and say I did it my way.
