post moves

[verbalhologram]

Two fold question here. How do you defend anyone in the post that spins out of the post uses dropstep and ends up under the hoop I find it near impossible to defend.
Second question how do I execute that move myself as all I seem to be able to do is a pro hop or step back.
The cpu seem to have a range of post moves that I can't do. Help would be great I am on Xbox one

shame on EA for not providing us with a practice mode/tutorials. but read below. also turn on your in game manual so its snapped to the side while you play the game. go into the area where it talks about post defense or post offense. leave it on their and play your game this way. until you get it and have it to the point you dont have to look at the manual anymore. then turn the manual off and go from there.

In the Post

The big men patrolling the paint have their own arsenal of moves on both sides of the ball, and you’ll want to utilize your full repertoire in order to maximize your success. On offense your bigs can take it to the defense with backdowns, power backdowns, up and unders, drop steps, pro hops, spins and leans.

It’s also critical to know your personnel and understand what they’re best at in the paint. While Kobe Bryant isn’t afraid to bang bodies on the low block, you’ll find more success getting a defender off-balance then knocking down a fadeaway shot. Conversely, Dwight Howard is pure power in the paint, and it’s best to get him close to the basket to go for the drive, dunk or hook. Post play is much deeper than simply backing a defender down and then spinning in for the basket.

On the defensive side of the ball you’re given a full suite of moves to counter the offense. Defenders can push back when an offensive player is trying to back them down, and slide from side-to-side to block moves. Furthermore, if an offensive player is using his lower body to lean into you and try and gain leverage, you can “pull the chair,” causing the offensive player to lose his balance and, most likely, the ball. Sometimes you’ll also feel rumbles on one side of the controller or the other, which serve as a “tell” to let you know which way the offensive player is likely to go. Higher-rated defenders will cause the controller to rumble more forcefully, giving you a clear indication of what the offensive player is likely to do. Use this extra edge to plan your countermoves and effectively shut down the opposition.

Post Controls
