D-Pad Left -> R1. Or check this video. Defensive settings are in the Pause menu or the timeout menu.

I don't know why 2k is promoting this kind of gameplay by forcing you to use it if you want to succeed in domination.

Well I don't cheese and I have only not gotten 3 stars once. And did you really say fast break basketball isn't a style because that's just not correct. You don't need to post fade and I score less points if I pick and roll a lot. You just have to make shots and get your 3 point and free throw bonus. It's not that complicated.

Have you beaten the all star teams yet? I didnt have to start "cheesing" until the West all stars

I've gotten all the way up to game #17 in Historic Domination and I barely use the post unless I'm inbounding the ball on my end of the court.

Assisted fastbreak dunks/layups will get you through all of Domination as long as you're collecting your free throw and three point bonuses every game with a decent percentage made.

Yeah i dont use the post fade. But one game i made the west take 77 fts, so that i would get the ball while they were pressing and throw it to westbrook down court for a dunk. I did that all 4th quarter

Yeah, got them all first try and have made it through the Blazers in historic. Those percentages bonuses are huge if you hit them.

Just got 822 MT on the last team in reg. domination... Needed 825. wow

Anyone have any tips to constantly get 700+ MT points per game in this mode? I beat the Pistons by 20 twice but only got the 605 MT points for my trouble each time. I run a lot of pick and rolls with my bigs and also do a lot of fast break 3s. Can anyone provide tips to always get at least 700+ MT points per game in Domination?
