    I need help using the Spurs

    I have the hardest time hitting jump shots with Green and Splitter can't even hit a shot no matter how close he is. It seems like I struggle shooting with this whole team minus their big 3. Any good tips? I'm doing a season and it's been a major struggle. I don't know if it's due to the ongoing fatigue.

    The spurs have a lot of different and difficult shot releases on the team. It's not like the Knicks, heat,lakers where everyone has easy quick releases.

    Danny Green has to have one of the hardest shots in the game, feels like u have to hold the release for an eternity, try and only shoot from his hot zones. I used to struggle a lot with green, but once I got his shot down I find him one of the most rewarding players to stroke 3's with.

    As for Splitter you really shouldn't be shooting jump shots with him, just take it to the hole or post up.

    The spurs player I struggle with the most is S. Jackson,can never hit shots with him.

      See Jackson I feel ok with. But with Splitter I post and he's 2 feet away and misses almost everything. Hooks, layups. Any tips for Leonard? He's one of my favorite players in real life and I'm streaky with him in this game.

        I know what you mean about splitter, he does miss an awfull lot around the rim, probably because they based him off his play last season and not how he is this year, Nba most improved?
        My advice with splitter would be just to dump it off to Timmy,lol.
        As for Kawai he's my favourite player in the nba today. I find he is very streaky with his jump shots in this game, so if he starts missing 1 or 2 in a row, just take it inside instead. His step-back shot works well too. Again like D.Green try to only take shots from his hot spots.

        Also With Greens shot release he has a small hitch in it, sort of a double clutch. You have to wait for that second phase of his shot.

          Play Gary Neal instead of Green lol. Neal hardly ever misses a 3.

            Neal is good for a spark off the bench but I wouldn't trust him on defence for a whole game. Green is a great defender and comes up with a lot of steals and fast break points.

              Thanks for the tips. I'll be sure to try them out. Here's to Splitter hopefully getting an update lol.

                They did update Splitter a little while back. But he is still inconsistent for some one that is top 5 in FG%.

                  Hate to be that guy, or maybe not.... but I highly recommend that you download my roster which is titled "Wade4now Roster Update". the latest one is (03-17-2013). The easiest way to find it, is to search my gamertag which is Wade4now


                  I have really studied the Spurs over the past couple of months and in my roster file, I have everything updated from their coaching profile, to player tendencies, playbooks, sig shots and much more!

                  The Spurs are an offensive first team. They are a good TEAM defensive team. NOT a defensive pressure team like chicago or memphis. They love to shoot the outside 3 and also like to shoot in the the paint area, close range and also likes to attack the basket. They HATE taking mid range shots unless their open. Their not a good fast breaking team, and their not a good offensive rebounding team. They are a really good passing team so try not to force iso's unless your ginobili, parker or leonard.

                  My spurs coaching profile would go like:

                  off. tempo 80
                  def. pressure 63
                  help defense 80
                  fast break 44
                  run plays 85
                  crash off. glass 20
                  double teams 70
                  zone usage 3
                  bench depth 85
                  inside shots 75
                  close shots 70
                  med range 43
                  3 pointers 80
                  atk basket 63
                  look for post 36
                  alley oops 13
                  size-speed 65
                  athleticism- skill 85
                  off.-def. 50
                  gaurds-forwards 50
                  inside-outside- 80

                  It's not just the spurs, all 30 teams are up-to-date as of march 17, 2013!

                  Not to bash 2k's roster but the spurs really don't play like themselves in the original update. Most Notably, Danny Green's jumper is WAY off,Tim Duncan not being dominant like he is in real life and also Tony Parker's rating is a bit off.

                  I feel like I've worked the hardest in improving my roster and trying to make the most accurate as can be... and I really think you should give it a try, especially if your an offline player. My Roster works best with simulation sliders and it could be played on any difficulty. I promise you won't be disappointed!

                        I'm on PS3, but I'll manually make these changes to the Spurs and give them a shot. I'm an offline guy and these look good.
