Rate this year's dribbling system.

They took it out and you can only do a less effective full spin. I think there needs to be more fluidity and moves to differentiate better ball handlers Sent from a network powered by a hamster and a wheel using Tapatalk

Uh. So after reading this, other posts, and seeing what people do online, I'm going to ask: Does anyone else know how to actually chain the dribbles?

I'm asking because I do, but so far I see no one doing it. It's Size up, pause 5 seconds, size up. You can switch dribbles fluidly as far as size ups and standing dribbles in this system, but no one does.

So here's how for those that don't know: Think of it like a fighting game. Your Signature Size Ups are"Strong" attacks. Your normal dribbles are "Weak" Attacks.

You can do any number of weak attacks. You MUST follow a strong attack with a weak attack. You can NEVER follow a Strong attack with another strong attack.

So I can chain 2 normal dribbles into a Size up. I can Chain. A size up into a normal dribble into a size up. You can do this infinitely as long as you remember you gave to do a normal dribble in between your size ups.

Anyone that doesn't understand, send me a message on PS4 and I can show you in more detail.

This year is 3 out of 5, IMO. They took away a few functional things, but it's set up for chaining in a good way.

I don't mind chaining, I've tried to chain together moves I think would be good and they work sometimes. It does help that I've played mainly as a PF this year to start so I haven't really gotten too much into the mastering of dribbling. But one thing I did like from 2K15 was that I could chain moves I liked without doing the obvious "cheesy" stuff.

One thing I do think should apply to everyone's opinion of the dribbling is how they take out moves unnecessarily and that big men should not dribble like an elite dribbling guard lol. Other than that, I do still think it should at least be fluid.

Im a Slashing SG, so I don't use it as often. I like using Economical, efficient, moves rather than chaining a massive dribble sequence. I keep it in my back pocket for cases where I've exhausted my repertoire. Normal sequence is nuts, and usually destroys a defender since most people don't know how to chain the size ups this year

Same here with the SG, as of recently. The size ups are confusing to find a way to find a move to launch out of for most people. It's probably the main reason everyone uses the Crawford escapes lol. The size ups are great and I've found some I really like to use and you can get out of them just as well

I use the Crawford in and out to set up my sequence. As soon as they reach for the ball when it would usually hit the end of the animation, I'm already in another sig Size up getting space to burn them on the close out.

I use the fact that it's the most seen in and out move to trick people.

It's garbage to be quite honest.

If I have a big man on my guard I don't even waste my time trying to beat him off the dribble anymore.

I figured it out a while ago, I just didn't plan on telling anyone, tbh, because I didn't want the info getting out there to the wrong people.

Yeah. I was doing the same. I didn't drop the glitch dribble info though, that's a worse thing to get out, trust me.

I might have opened Pandora's box. We'll see though
