I didn't read all the posts, my bad, that works for me. Thanks, man.

What do you think of the question, though? Did my friend make a mistake making an inside PF?

Nothing you make in the game is a mistake. The only mistake is not making a player fit the playing style you like to play. I like to play inside so I made an INSIDE CENTER. Russ Made and Outside Power Forward and because he's confident with his post game he's able to Finesse Bigger and Taller players as well as smaller ones.

To be honest, it's all about playing with the right people who are willing to use you and your skill set properly. If your buddy is an Inside Power Forward then he should be setting screens, off Ball Screens, and then rolling to spots he can hit on the floor. He can also line up in the slot (thats the spot 5 feet away from the block) and just wait for a dump pass like I do and Hit that shot. That pass is always there cause most BIGS over HELP and collapse. It doesn't always have to be Dunks. As an Inside Center I can consistently hit any shot within 14 Feet of the basket no problem. But if he wanted to be more like KG or something then he should of either went Balanced or Outside and just depended on Technique to score inside. The problem with most inside players is they think cause they made an inside guy that they're just going to walk into a game and DUNK on everyone.

Thanks, that's a good point about focusing on the screens. I think we've noticed it being a problem where he feels clogged in the paint next to an Inside C... it seems to be more Cs are inside and more PFs are outside.

Yes, and as being an Inside Center when Russ gets it in the post I have to space properly and put myself in a situation to be useful without clogging. Usually when he gets it on his block, I go to the opposite block and a few feet away from that block and so if my defender just Sits in the paint he gets Def of 3 secs, if my Defender over commits then its a sure pass to me and bucket, and if he hugs me then Russ can work his man in the post. Just have to play off each other. It's more easier said then done, because you have other teammates who clog lanes as well. lol

Same here. I made a 6'5 230(!) SG this year just because i like to post up other guards. I have all the post move badges, but it's a shame that you can't upgrade the post play attributes more as a SG. Usually it will still get me buckets online because those speedy 5'11 PGs have no clue how to guard in the post.

Great videos, i love the post play since 2K14, really don't know why it isn't used more online.

I've always wanted to know how to do it consistently but most of the times I end up doing a contested shot over a defender.

What I do is:
-Ball in the post, let's say 45 degrees to the basket on the left side.
-LT and try to push the defender a litlle bit more inside, then I pull Right Stick to the left (making my defender think I'm going for a fadeaway) but then I do Right Stick to the right (still holding LT).

So sometimes it does a nice fake but most of them is just a weird high school player contested animation. Maybe it's me but I feel that the animations are so random.

Do I do it right or am I missing something?
