Using Post Fade Advice?

[Erithtotl]

I know Post Fade is key for post scorers this year. But I've been very inconsistent with my Post Scoring / SC PF.

My Questions:

1) Do you combo anything with the fade to get more separation?
2) Do you use the regular fade or the shimmy fade? What is the right situation for each?
3) Which animations do you use for both? I'm having some trouble getting the timing down, with or without the shot meter despite having 90+ post skills.
4) I assume the key stats are difficult shots and mid-range dead eye? How key are they? Right now I only have bronze with each.

I usually just use the regular fade (dirk's shot). I find that shimmy fades usually miss for me. If i shimmy I usually try to do a stepthrough

Also pay attention to hotspots, I never made fades from the right block, but left block is money like 75% of the time.

One of my favorite moves is to post up, drive to the middle, get them off balance, stop on a dime (double tap square) and fade the other way.

Keep in mind where your animation carries you in relation to where the defense is, so if i see middle is wide open, il probably fade into the middle, if im on the left baseline, il fade away towards the baseline if i see the defender taking away the middle or another defender toward the middle. Shooting towards the left baseline is optimum for right handed shooters, works well in this game too.
