You can change your crossover. Mine used to hesitate before crossing thats why I couldnt cross players.

Could be a couple different things
Are you holding turbo when you do the cross? Are you using the L stick? What direction do you have it pressed? Are we talking driving or standing cross over?

Are you on PS4? I'm jumping on in about an hour. Send me a message and I'll pop into your mycourt and see I'd I can help

Re: myplayer got no dribble crossover momentum

Dribbling is the worst it's ever been this year. So many fake hesitations and broken animations. I have zero burst on lesser defenders and big men. Probably one of my biggest frustrations with this year.

Re: myplayer got no dribble crossover momentum

Just terrible. If you have to guard a Curry-Bogut dribble pitch with Curry going downhill you wouldn't be able to just cut him off in real life. You would have to to stay on his hip and your big would have to rotate. Idk how many times I've hit a weak defender or a big with a size up and timed the drive perfectly only to be stopped unnaturally by the defender just sticking out an arm.

The absolute worst thing that happens is even with all the badges for dribbling and hitting the stick i can make the crowd go "ohhhhhh" like he stumbled but the guy recovers instantly. I've had people FALL DOWN and before i can drive thru get up and break my momentum. I think the biggest illusion this year is the "improved" defense when all that means is they increased rubber banding by the defender.

Speaking of defensive rubber banding...

Lol, I call that the Undertaker move. Happened to me a few times already. There's also one where, if they get dropped and fall backwards during an iso dribble, they rise back up like that.

Re: myplayer got no dribble crossover momentum

I've had that exact thing happen to me too. And I had one defender falling, took a jumpshot and was forced into a fadeaway, even with the guy lying on the floor.

So I don't derail the thread with the above video:

Animations are key, look up some videos, test some yourself, and see what moves you like and are comfortable executing. I don't usually hold turbo until I execute the move unless I'm trying to do a specific size-up or something. Are you playing the CPU? It's much much easier to cross a person than a CPU, especially this year. If you are playing the CPU try stringing together some combos and moves and/or lower the difficulty to practice then re-up it once you're comfortable. If you're a lower overall that may cause some trouble but I'm not sure.

I disagree. I think the most annoying thing is performing any dribble move that would typically work against the cpu only to have your cross broken and sluggishly try and get around them. I'm a pg, i shouldn't be having my dribbles broken just so the other person doesn't get beat. I have 81 handling and see no point in upgrading 7 more attributes for 4 points of ball handling. Also, i see centers with behind the back moves and SGs with certain dribble moves that can literally make me stumble with lockdown defender. I have killer cross ovee gold, step back freeze gold and spin move kingpin gold but constantly am unable to break down my defender. If there is such a thing as more "successful" dribbles I'm unaware of what they are and also believe that it's stupid to have dribbles yielding more success rate than others simply because I'm not down with conformity. I don't want to use what everyone else has because i may like a certain dribble set. I'm just tired of the hitches and broken momentum when attempting to get by someone. Once i get passed them, I'll be okay with whatever happens. But as a pg i just don't understand why bigger defenders that should be slower have so much success sticking with me.

Re: myplayer got no dribble crossover momentum

This has been my biggest frustration as well. Exploding out of a dribbling move is not consistant at all this year. 7 times out of 10 I get that "stuck in mud" or "hesitation dribble" which allows the defense to recover.

I think this is coded in the game in an effort to improve on-ball defense. The CPU AI defense is overpowered this year and it is my #1 request for the big incoming gameplay patch.

Re: myplayer got no dribble crossover momentum

If you want to be succesful this year, you can forget about playing realistic. That means please do not use hesitations right stick crossovers, btl btb, screens to set up defenders jab steps etc. 2k is forcing us to play basic, just do some park cheese, zigzag left joystick crossovers or no skill sizeups.

Re: myplayer got no dribble crossover momentum

CPU defence is ridiculous at times, the way slower players can just drag you back so they're in front of you all over again after being completely broken down and destroyed. I just made Nick Young collapse like a sack of potato's but because he was lying down fairly close to me, I was forced into a fade away contested shot.

And yet my team mates have completely given up the illusion of pretending to play defence in this game. Hibbert, in the same game shot 15/15 because he walked into the paint and had uncontested layups and dunks from 2 feet out all game. Against Ibaka and Adams.

This game is going backwards quickly. Desperately needs a gameplay patch to address some of this stuff.

Re: myplayer got no dribble crossover momentum

New, better defense is what 2K promoted this year right? This is why you can't trust what companies say during their marketing campaign. Their definition of better defense is putting a bandaid on the issue instead of fixing the issue. Same ish different year.
