Also, be patient. The double team is only effective for people who like to use turbo all the time
Thanks. I'll try that. Sometimes I try to pass it before the double gets there as he walks away from his man

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Hey guys, I am new to NBA 2K16. First time playing NBA 2K. I had problem with shooting / dribbling / dunking. I tried to search for as much tutorial as I can but I can really understand. Sorry about my bad English.

When I was playing MYCAREER. There's SHOOTAROUND mode. I always score and I can always dunk in there. But when comes the real match. I kept missing and I can't dunk. Please advise me. Thanks

If you're talking about from a gameplay aspect, you'll need to known the properties of real basketball to be successful this year.

You have two options, you can use a Freelance Offense, no plays and CPU moves as wanted (this year they actually move and cut well)

or

You can run plays, simply by Hitting Up on the D-pad will call 2K smart play, which is the best way I have found to play. It'll give you directions on how to run the play and usually finds you success. Also be sure to play to YOUR tempo.

Pick and roll ball handler tips

Wait and make sure the screen is set AND see how to CPU is defending the pick and roll before you attack! Last year you could just attack this year the CPU AI defensive will eat you alive. Be patient!

When calling the screen make sure you let go L1 before you attack. If you try to sprint while holding L1 (hitting R2) the screener which switch sides while you are attacking causing spacing issues.

Getting past defenders
Seems like people are having trouble scoring/getting past defenders this is a quick little tip. Triple threat something we learned in 5th grade ha. With the new animations it's Highly effective this year



Getting pass defenders with iso motion coming soon

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

I might be missing something obvious, but is there any way to prevent your PG's from picking up their defender full court? I play as the Rockets, and I'm fine with Beverley doing it because that's his style, but I don't necessarily want Lawson doing it all the time. Is it because I have the defensive setting on the other PG to "smother"?

These types of threads is exactly the reason I stumbled onto OS back in 2008.

Love these and thanks to everyone who takes the time to help out others.

Re: NBA 2K16 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

Why does it seem that I miss way too many layups? Sometimes I feel like I am holding the turbo and that's why and other times I seem to hold the shot button longer than I planned to. So busy admiring the blow by. Any help would be appreciated.
