Steal Spamming Online

Can’t wait until they patch this so all the cheeses can be penalized for this. If I turn my back to my defender on the perimeter he should not be able to reach in and steal the ball with so much consistency. Has anyone else experienced this?

yeah....i experienced this in rec center & park......you cannot throw the pass to the paint because of that spam...opponent just press "steal "steal" "steal" ....they don't ever try to play defense....so disgusting

Re: Steal Spamming Online

Played a few rec games today and it's unbelievable. You can't pass the ball to a guy next to you without the other team spamming the steal button. I love everything about the defense in this game but something needs to be fixed to stop people from spamming.

Protect the ball ALWAYS. If you can’t dribble without losing it, give it to someone who has more ball control. It’s just like real life guys.

I protect the ball just like Gary Peyton, Mark Jackson and Magic Johnson did back in the day. They still spam and have success

Yeah... if you just use the trigger to protect the ball you’ll be fine. It just results in a bunch of fouls and eventually they back off.

Stop leaving the ball unprotected.

that's not about the dribble...we are talking about the passing get "steal" too easy & too unrealistic...if you can do that in real life you are god...dude...

If possible, would someone be able post a video of it when they get a chance?

On-ball steals:
-I haven't picked up the game yet. But all I will say is that if they actually nerf steals, then I won't be able to get a single on-ball steal. In prelude '19, more often than not when I attempt to steal it results in a foul. Note: I don't normally use the steal button but since 2k advertised the steals have been fixed, I wanted to try it out.

Passing-lane steals:
-If you can't pass the ball without it getting stolen, try using 'total control passing' or 'full receiver control.' One favor though: Please don't just dismiss this option saying that you don't want to learn a new control mechanic because you've never had to in the past and that it shouldn't that difficult to simply past the ball. Try it out before you dismiss it.

Total control passing will allow you to control your off-ball teammate to come meet the pass without it ever getting stolen. If you don't want to use total control passing, use the "screen button" as a substitute to get your player to come "meet" the pass. Third, also consider using bounce pass.


EDIT: Just to clarify, even if you have total control passing/full icon passing, you can still pass normally

daxm it...how can we control a "human" off ball teammate with that Fuxking total control pass... i can't learn that "new" stuff through...

Re: Steal Spamming Online

Hey gang...yes the steals are high but don't forget you can use the right stick to change the stance of your protect ball depending on if the defender is on your left or right--it works a bit like triple threat.

You dont have to stay in one spot like last year.

Not sure if this is going to work. Push the left stick away from your human off-ball teammate. Let's say you're standing south (texas), and your teammate is standing west (california), push your left stick towards southwest (mexico/arizona) when you pass the ball. See if that works.


Note: total control passing was actually in 2k18. By the way, even with total control passing on, you can still pass normally without using it at all.

More importantly, since I don't play online, the above is my hypothetical guess because that's how (I think) I got my off-ball teammate to move away from their spot to catch the pass.


EDIT: Also, I only discovered through one of the post here in the forum about total control passing last year. Never knew about how useful it was until I tried it offline. Not sure if it can be used on human teammates though. It's my favorite gameplay mechanic.

But not I’m not a threat to drive if I’m constantly protective the ball with may back TK the basket. I don’t want to play like Magic when I have CP3 or Kyrie.

I hear you...I agree too. Keep in mind I said early on that I was keeping my eyes on steals because I thought it was a little high...you make a super valid point. What i'm saying is the devs have to see the data first--then our claims will have merit. Its a waiting game, essentially.

Re: Steal Spamming Online

I noticed a communication gap between offline / play now guys and pro am / mycareer here.

I’m not sure which the op is referring too.

steal spamming is the go to in rec right now . It’s kind of funny seeing five guys continuously swipe at the air all game . Slowing the game down helps .

Re: Steal Spamming Online

Wouldn't fake pass work? I use it all the time since most if the people I go against are mostly overzealous and go for steals.
