How to play Grit and Grind NBA Basketball in 2k15. DEF POE further Explained by Pham

[itchyroll_51]

In this how-to video i will be using the Grizzlies to play Grit and Grind basketball: Pounding the ball with Post Offense (no plays called, just freelance) combined with Lock Down On-ball + Team Defense. I also go into a lot of detail with DEF POE and specific aspects of 2K15 Defense Tactics. Check it out:





*Feel free to discuss both the offense and defense i presented here. As always let me know what you think, and i am really starting to feel Protect the Paint is by far the more superior POE in this year's game.

Awesome.

Which freelance are you basing out of? 3 out 2 in? And what are your settings in terms of freelance/motion/space the floor?

Good vid.

One thing that I think bears mentioning is that as a user if you have this defense employed against you, you have to read the defense and understand how to attack what they are taking away. You can tell if you take it inside and the ball rolls around and out, you miss dunks or the defense recovers really well that protect paint is on and you have to think and work accordingly.

Protecting the paint vs users this year is a great strategy at the highest difficulty because guys struggle shooting.

As far as POEs go, it seems just with the POE set a certain way, it determines the outcome to much and I'm not a fan of the POE system.

You can really notice this if you don't limit transition and see your guys jogging back on defense just because of the setting and all the POEs work that way in a subtle fashion. Finishing at the rim well when limit shots is on is another. These are all cues to how the defense is playing you that you need to pay attention to.

One final thing is that in the 12 minute game vs smart users, you can become a victim of your settings because users will change up over the period of a full game to take advantage of it and back door shooters played tight for example.

The other thing with settings it often makes sense vs users to wait and see how your opponent uses players before making adjustments to defensive settings.

Most of my comments are geared towards users.

The cpu will adjust but not as well as tough users who read defense well.

On ball skill has improved. I also like the manual hedge with gasol. That's how I'd defend the pick and roll with manual control of the hedger. I prefer that over a setting so you can adjust as needed and not be committed by setting and have a user recognize it.

Nice job!

3-2 Space the floor works best for the grind house offense ^_^
