    Effectiveness of double teaming?

    I havent noticed any real benefit of calling for a double team. I havent played since 2k9, I know in that game you can get an animation where you tie up the ballhandler. I havent really seen anything like that in 2k11. Ill usually call for a double team and then both guys kinda just putz around and the guy will split the double team or get out of it no problem. Any tips for using it?

    It just takes a while for the animation to initiate.

      You are right its seems like the double team is not effective when they do double

        You have to wait for the animation to take place. It takes longer to do so than it did in 2K10.

          yeah i finally saw it tonight, im gonna have to say the double isnt really doing a whole lot.

          anyways this whole ****ing game is starting to really frustrate me I just threw my case for it against the wall. I cant take the inconsistent controls. There will be a foot of open space between a guy and the basket, sometimes hell stop and shoot a jump shot, sometimes hell try to do some random crazy *** move and get blocked, rarely willl they just go up for the quick slam, this is all with the same button press of RT and shot stick towards the hoop.

          I figured out why I dont get all pissed when I play halo and games like that. Its cuz the controls are actually doing what you say to do. I cant take this random ********edness in this game, im taking a long break

            Everytime I double, they just shoot over it, no problem. It might as well be uncontested.

              Yeah the double teams suck, but the thing that bothers me is that no matter how good you play shot defense in the post they seem to make the shot at the same rate.

              You could be guarding the post, see the shot coming a mile away, perfectly time your jump to contest....... swish.

              Might as well just let the CPU play defense.

                This and the charge system..not really as effective as one would like.
                "I'm so far ahead of my time, I'm bout to start another life
                Look behind you, I'm bout to pass you twice
                Back to the future and gotta slow up for the present
                I'm fast, dudes can't get past my past
                How they supposed to deal with my perfect present?"

                  No offense, but do you guys WANT cheese in the game. The DT does what it's supposed to do: force a decision by the dribbler. The shots our of the DT are NOT very effective and if you do not pass, you're going to get locked up. It's that simple. It wasn't all that long ago people were whining that it was a way to cheese. Now that it does what it's supposed to do without totally debilitating the dribbler, you guys are complaining? I'll just assume this is not the same group of people complaining about it in the past and say: you can't please everybody.

                  It works fine just the way it is. I double Lebron and he has to give it up, force a shot, or get hemmed up for a probable steal.

                    U did a lot of typing just to prove you're wrong. the double is too weak, its that simple.

                      The DT is not too weak. In the NBA guys like Kobe and LeBron break DTs all the time.

                      I used it in the Jordan challenge to stifle Wilkins so he wouldn't reach 25.

                      The CPU has used it against my when I'm having a big game. When they double, I generally have to pass.

                        Double teams are fine. Press LB while your on ball D to initiate an animation which offensive players are able to break out of(which they should be).

                        I think its the perfect balance. Not overpowered like last season where you couldn't even pass out of them let alone shoot, and not non-existant like in 2k9 where you can just shoot out of every DT and make it.

                          Most of these lames complaining obviously aren't familiar with the old DT. This years DT is about as close to right as I'd like to see.

                            well since the roster update the double teams and help defense has been improved..I had to pass out of some hard doubleteams this morning and I don't remember the computer trapping me as hard as they did today....I think it's better by far........(only played one game today so far though..I will check on this more tonight)

                            the charging system needs to be tweaked...I know there have been countless times that i have been totally standing still and the computer still calls me for the foul and not the computer the charge...(very aggrevating !!) this is probably the number one thing that bothers me about this game...

                              And you did very little typing to prove and contribute absolutely nothing. It's that simple. Sorry, go find some other cheese.
