i found post game much more worthwhile in 2k12... i also used the pacers
This year im using the T'Blazers, mostly using Aldridge in high post (unless he has a quicker defender on him)

I think to make it worth learning.. guard play has to be tougher... its too easy to get to the rim uncontested and no help D = 2 points
also not being able to block dunks is silly... let's hope that changes

The problem is you can foul SO many times before even getting into the bonus.

Keep your man honest by bumping him in the midsection with your backside by holding the RS away from your defender. Your player will keep the ball away as far away as possible from your defender for one or two seconds. I notice that Kobe does this sometimes IRL. So, set him up with that, and then make your move.

You could also just spin the RS just before your player gets the ball which means that the defender will be left looking like a fool as he tries to reach.

It was worth learning last year because it was effective (Maybe overly so. I shouldn't have been able to hit so many post fadeaways with Tyreke and Thornton in 2K12 >.>).

This year they completely and utterly nuetured it.

There are so many options for post shots and fadeaways in 2K13 it's ridiculous. But 90% of it is worthless because they punish you so severely for even doing them. They went overboard. No way in the hell should I be getting C's with Lamarcus Aldridge doing a fadeaway over his right shoulder (A fadeaway he does 90% of the time in real life and it's his go to move) over a smaller defender. If anything it should be something that I can reliably go to when I have a mismatch. But I can't because I can get green light everything, but be rewarded with a C.

Heaven forbid you try to do a post protect fadeaway. You get rewarded with C-'s and D+'s.

Well, we can start WITH A SIMPLE RIGHTY HOOK GOING IN SOMETIMES. This is how 2K can really implement strength and weight in the game, to get good post position and to score on your man.

Like the poster above me said, It'd be great if the post shots actually went in when they should. If I'm backing down Kemba Walker with Kevin Garnett, and I get Positioned right under the basket, I should be able to make that hook shot. But 90% of the time in this game it rims out. Not to mention the post fadeaways and protect shots rarely go in even with mismatches.

Funny that, I make about 80% of hook shots with Pau Gasol, and that's while being guarded by people like Duncan on HOF Sim sliders against the CPU. I know it doesn't really help, but if I was posting up Kemba with Garnett, I'd probably just dropstep him once and then lay it in.

How can 2k make the post game worth learning?

I think in order for them to make the post game worth learning it has to be like scouting reports suggesting that is a strength of your team. The truth is I think the post game is entirely too easy for most players. The reality is there are not that many post threats on most teams.

They need to make it a little less easy in getting in the paint and finishing with the LeBron's Melo's by forcing shots off the dribble
Lower the jump shot success rates
Signature post shots Marc Gasol running hooks, push shots hooks by Wade, Lopez hooks face up awkward but effective. Duncan face up, jab step, spin. Andre Miller old man back to basket step through, spins. Jefferson arsenal pump fakes up and under step through. You should be penalized for trying to use post moves that are not in your players skill set. More contact on up and unders should balance out things as the success rates are just too high. Howard spin moves to hooks.

I think you get the drift. I overall think the post game needs more signature moves and lower the up and under success rate.

The post game feels so weak because there aren't any power moves, hooks don't work as well as they should with the right players, You can't back down a smaller weaker player half the time, too many stupid one hand floaters right at the rim.
