NBA 2K17 Teach Me How/Strategy Thread

[JasonLin]

Is there any way to do this move in NBA 2K17?

This was such a cool move in NBA 2K14. However I couldn't really get this done in the past 2 years.

This year with 2K17, the closest thing i could do is a half-spin then combined with a step back jumper..but it's not even close to the original.

Such a shame.

How do you escape boxout? I know youre supposed to avoid them, but if you get caught, what buttons do you use to do it?

Is there a tactic like "protect the paint" or no double teams?
There are a few new defensive settings like "Straight up" "stay home" "Focus" etc. but I have no idea what they mean. Could anyone please explain them?

I agree! How do we do this??

I believe you have to do it in the timeout screen. LB for defense, go up to the player (on the court diagram) that you want to make adjustments for and then its about cycling through the screens (with trigger) until you see the adjustments you want to make.

I really wish there was a way to play with the timeout screen with the clock counting down. To me, THAT needs a tutorial.

Would be nice to get some sort of deep dive from OG about all the changes on defense.

Czar's streams on release day were terrific.

How do you stop the CPU players from sprinting down the court and scoring wide open buckets after a human made basket?

It's been like this for years and is really frustrating.
