Great vids, Jersez. Now I see where a lot of my frustration with this game comes from. The lil miscues are so small and subtle that I never noticed them.

I keep looking at this game with the eyes for a real game on the court. In real life you can instantly see when a defender is off balance and how to attack their lead foot.

In this game though the movements are so all over the place to my eye! Thanks for the video because when I was playing the game this past year I had no idea those lil movements meant I was open because they happen so darn fast.

I really gotta stop treating these games like real life and try to understand their limitations. lol

Yeah it's also harder to read a defender in this game, because in real life we have a 1st person view while a video game can only give you a third person view. Plus as a former guard you just can get the feel for when your defender is off balance. I have other videos up as well covering dribbling so if you have time please check them out, you might find more tips that can help you.

I can't seem to get the push by animation while driving to the basket. The people I play against seem to do it at will with the top players, Westbrook, James, Rose.

The stepback animation you mean? Where you're driving and you do a move to get away from the contact and create space?

Re: NBA 2k13 how to use shot gather and how to drive

No, the push by animation or go around animation. Some how I get it and i don't know how, but some people do it at will.

Are you talking about the drive animation? Ball handler goes into an animation and slide past the defender?

Thats just a get a slower guy on your or out of position and turbo right by move. You get him out of position enough and you'll do it at will. If you look at the tips video you'll see more ways to get by your man than trying to get them stuck in an animation.

Re: NBA 2k13 how to use shot gather and how to drive

Thanks man. I don't know if it better do get defender to back peddle till you get closer to a dunk or layup range or to try them to move out of place with an iso. I feel if I miss the movement, I miss and opportunity to attack and I'm to dependent on what the defense does. Instead I feel more in control by hitting turbo, get them back peddling while chaining moves and go into a dunk or layup animation when I'm close to the rim. Either way doesn't guarantee bad contact animation with trying to score or getting stonewalled and forced into a jump shot. Which is my biggest problem when trying to drive.

Simply read and react if you're turboing too much it takes stamina away from your ball handler and he's not going to be effective at scoring, if he does get past the defender. If you catch them with a sizeup you can get past them if you use the right move to go by them.

Re: NBA 2k13 how to use shot gather and how to drive

Ok, I get you on the stamina aspect. That's probably why I get so many bad animation lays. I hate the one where they put the ball behind the head, leaning backwards. Sometime it happen after you beat the defender, like you hit an invisible wall or something.

Yeah I know that animation.

Re: NBA 2k13 how to use shot gather and how to drive

I can get past my man with your tips ... but where I'm struggling is:

If I could get floor spacing like on PS3 I'd be stoked. Maybe if I reduce play passing lanes?

At the moment the cpu packs the paint, all the help hedges over so once I do beat my man on the outside with my PG, I have help from either side to contend with as well as a packed out interior.

I'm only playing on superstar too. lol

Re: NBA 2k13 how to use shot gather and how to drive

That the same problem I'm having too. If you have to do all these isos to get the cpu defender to move puts you in a waiting situation just to catch a window that might not open. Even if you get by the the defender there is help waiting to bump into a bad layup animation or a force jumpshot. No one plays defense themselves, just pick zones, pack the paint and watch. This why I hit turbo from a distance, get the defender backpeddlng, chain a few moves and go into the layup or dunk animation, hope it not a bad one,get a foul or he doesn't miss the layup. Mixing in some euro, spin or hopstep with a pumpfake at times. This is why people tend to just shoot all the time cause these is to many factors into make a succesful layup.

Just to make it clear I actually wait for my cpu teammates to move out of my way before driving, or go to area I know will be open once I beat my defender. I don't have any special slider adjustments. Yes the cpu is smart enough to hedge, (too bad our teammates can't do that) You'll have to learn how to finish, you can use all the moves available to you spin layups,hopstep layups, dunking of course and eurosteping. I also penetrate and then kick the ball out for a open three two, just because you beat your defender doesn't mean you have to shoot with that ball handler.

Now if you have a defender in the paint already and staring at you, simply use a floater or pull up for a wide open midrange jumper. Reading and reacting applies to scoring as well.
