I Found FIX + COUNTER vs Hip Riding Animation: OS PLEASE test this for me !

[itchyroll_51]

The hip riding animation has been a huge annoyance on 2K18 this year; however, I like the implementation of it is just is needs a reliable counter against it. I thinkI have found it as I have develop the ability to cancel that animation consistently online, offline, and local play. Here's how I do it:

PLEASE test this as a group for me OS. This already works for me very consistently, I am hoping I can get as much user feedback as possible with my techniques on stopping the hip blow by animation and contesting the drive. If this works like it does for the general population like it does for me; these techniques of mine would most likely balance this game out very well. Please test and let me know !

What I havent been doing is pushing it towards the defender...because thats a traditionally been an automatic foul in past 2K's

I have to say I've seen a bit more success using this after two games...ill keep labbing and report back...

After playing-

'12 Heat LeBron
'96 Bulls Jordan
'12 Thunder KD

I can say pretty confidently say this works!

I'll post some video when I get a chance but it really does cut off the hip ride in the right position....all this time I've been holding the stick up instead of at the ball handler...

The only issue now is being able to use it effectively as a whole on D....its a little awkward as far as controller position for me right now....

Good stuff Pham....

I played against a '16 Warriors user. From the few times that he did attempt to drive, it did feel effective. However, my opponent was head hunting for the 3, and he hit one too many contested 3's for my taste. As a side note, I think he saw the video too, because he was stopping my dribble drives, lol.

The turbo + RS works pretty well too. Most of my team fouls were caused by my AI teammates giving unnecessary help.

Aargh! I have to find the fine combination of this and what I already know. I'm inadvertently giving up too many open shots.

Try changing your defensive stick option to absolute...

I had some success accidentally doing this a few times, but I've avoided it for the same reason haha. In previous years this was an unsuccessful strip steal for a foul 100% of the time.

He also has physical defense on which was also previously a no go for me because of the fouls the cpu would generate without me doing anything.

I'll give this a try.

I’m probably doing it wrong but this does not work for me at all.

I'll try that next. By coincidence, I had switched from absolute based on the video. Thus far, it seems somewhat successful. No complaints thus far.

I don't ever use Triangle to contest, right stick every time no matter what. You can pretty much stop every shot from the post this year by just pushing the right stick up. I mean in the video he stops a full charging KAT with Alex Abrines by just holding the right stick up, its a bit unrealistic yeah but it is the best way to defend.

Thank you for this. This definitely help against people that just try to turbo their way through the defender. I played three h2h games using the grizzlies and seen improvement with on-ball defense using conley.

I wouldn't say it can stop every shot from the post. Right stick contest will rarely work against the post stepback or fadeaway. In my opinion, right stick is better for contesting jumpshots and manually jumping for defending the paint.

I find that if you do ever need to use triangle, it is better to beat them to the spot then use Vertical Contest (LS away from shoot + triangle). It is effective (if sometimes a little silly looking) and you almost never foul.
