The Faceup Game This Year is the Best it has Ever Been!

I just started experimenting with the faceup game this week and I've been pleasantly surprised with how many different moves you can do. Especially with all the different ways you can get open mid range shots.

So far I've been experimenting with it in practice in MyCareer. The simple LS stepback jumpers work better than the shot gathers. I can't wait to try them in MyTeam with players like Kawhi Leonard and KG.



And since you can initiate layups from further out this year I can finally have a well rounded, realistic looking face up game. The jab steps and triple threat controls work great in combination with the new layup animations.

I kinda wish I made a stretch PF now instead of a glass cleaner

Re: The Faceup Game This Year is the Best it has Ever Been!

Yeah I don't really get to use it that much in MyCareer(Cousins gets all the high post plays), but Kawhi Leonard does work for me in MyTeam. This is kind of reviving the game for me because I can isolate more effectively in 5v5 games.

But when I do get it on the high post other bigmen don't stand a chance against me anymore.

Idk what exactly triggers it but Denver came over and after I beat him in 1 on 1 he just stood under the basket. After I saw he would pass me the ball and get rebounds I figured I'd test out some face up moves lol.

Things are nice vs. CPU offline, but if you play MyTeam online games, face-up is basically impossible because stealing is OP and people relentlessly try to steal.

Nerfing steals is def something that should be patched.

It's nice other than the double teaming, and the HOF insta-steal that occurs when you face up too close to the basket.
