    Tip for drawing shooting fouls

    I think I may have found the secret to drawing fouls. Wait a little longer before hitting the shoot button on your drives that triggers your dunk/layup animation. If you wait and get just a little deeper in the lane they blow the whistle once contact is made (especially if the defender's feet are in the restricted semi-circle area located three feet under the basket.) Now you could trigger the animation further away from the basket and get hammered and it looks like you got fouled just as bad but the refs don't call it unless you really had a good path to the basket. (I think this is EA's way of toning down driving through the lane with KOBE and BRON and just triggering a dunk that is str8 cheese) But like I said just wait a little longer, get deeper in the lane and then go for the shot and TWEET....and one baby! I tried this theory with the Suns and got to the line 22 times on 10 minute quarters on Pro and I got fouls called when apprpriate. I expect better success with all-star level cause you get more fouls on that level playing naturally. Please try this and let me know your results and what level you are playing at, quarter length etc. Hope I helped!

    Re: Tip for drawing shooting fouls

    Yeah I noticed this too, mainly that if you start the shot where you normally would (in 2K games and Live 09), it often results in a contest and a miss with no foul. I was getting frustrated with breaking off my man and then still getting stuffed by the help defense even though it appeared that I had a clear lane -- starting the shot later has helped that a lot. There are times when those long stride animations will kick in (mostly on dunks with people like LeBron or Euro/hop step moves) and it behooves you to start far out, but this is a good general rule.

      Hopefully this still holds true post pach b/c this is really frustrating me. I'm able to get in the paint a lot but 99% it results in a huge hack but no foul.
