Newbie Help/Questions

Havent played much NBA2k before and am currently playing the MyCareer mode. Just a basic player as I cannot get a handle of the numerous move sets.
I am experiencing a few issues that are making the game more frustrating than fun.
1. There is always a defender in my face, essentially glued to me which means I get absolutely zero open shots.

2. AI always seems to play man to man and I'm always blocked trying to get by anybody. Conversely I keep calling for zone defense for me yet my team keeps reverting to Man to Man.

3. I'm playing as a point guard and find my teammates are not moving. Its like they are always playing isolation and because of the first 2 points, there never seems to be anybody getting open for a catch and shoot.

4. I made myself a small point guard and am suppose to be very fast yet my opponent (even a lumber PG) always get in front of me.

Sorry if this has come up before.
Just trying to enjoy the game but this glue defense is annoying.

Do I have to master all the moves/controls to get away from this?

I agree with you Glue defense is annoying as hell
fast breaks don't real work good unless your a playmaker due to speed with the ball , shooting is not the best because its hard to shake off defenders even when you do pic n roll it does not work on every team lol


honestly I think because my career is connected to park and pro am so any tuning regarding shooting and defense effects my career the most

Re: Newbie Help/Questions

run the pick and roll
learn some of the dribble moves and practice them.
run plays.


As for calling for zone, you aren't a leader of the team, so your team will do what the coach says. And playing zone in mycareer will hurt you more than help. Just learn how to play defense.
