Ok, i just played my friend in 2k12 at his house, we have our own league, he uses dirk and fadaways with him and its money, he went 14-18 for 28 points and i end up losing by like 17, i had gasol on him the whole time and i usaully have good defense but i need advice on how to guard dirk especially in the post... should i switch noah on him next time cuz he has bynum as his center.

Re: guarding dirk?!?
probably have to make him give it up with a double team, there isnt a man on earth who can defend his fadeaway -
Re: guarding dirk?!?
yea i was thinking about doing that when i lost to him, my lineup is rose,melo,battier,gasol,noah, who should i double with? my center? the thing is his style of play is lead passing and getting guys to cut so he can pass to them. Should i have battier guard dirk? since his post d is very good or rather have noah guard him?Last edited by danny__boy; 11-20-2011, 03:58 AM.Comment

Re: guarding dirk?!?
I have the same problem against my cousin. I always double team Dirk with my centre! or use a guy to try steal it off him!Comment

Re: guarding dirk?!?
Cant really guard Dirk in real life
Try double teaming and getting a hand up in his face.

Re: guarding dirk?!?
I usually just bring my guard over and as soon as he puts in on the floor I try to strip it. Just try to stop the teams momentum, and create your own, you'd be surprised on how much it'll help your defense ad destroy their offenseComment

Re: guarding dirk?!?
Yep, welcome to the real world. Nobody can guard Dirk in real life, either.Comment

Re: guarding dirk?!?
stop thinking about guarding Dirk and work on frustrating him.
Gasol should technically be able to guard him in the post, but what happens if he's out on the perimeter?
You should have had Noah on him from the jump. Switch up your double team calls and make him have to pass out. Don't do it every time, but do it enough so that if he doesn't see it coming, he starts to rush with his offense hoping he can get a shot off before you bring it.
The goal with Dirk isn't to block his shots. You just need to bump and push him.
You gave up 28 points off of 14-18 shooting, which probably opened up the door for his teammates.
shoot for jumping, josteling, pinching, pushing...that nets you 21 points and 7-25 shooting. Send him to the line, try and punish him...and if you can..throw a little psychology in there because when superstars are having bad nights, it's really easy for users to get hard headed and keep shooting with them only to make it worse.VOL T VOL.....................
Anymore questions?Comment

Re: guarding dirk?!?
Ummmmm . . . no. Rodman wasn't made of magic. In 94-95 the Spurs tried to guard Olajuwon with him (Hakeem is shorter than Dirk BTW) and The Dream dropped 39 on 64% shooting and also grabbed 17 boards to close out the series.
Dirk was on a roll that would be hard for any one man to stop.Comment

Dirk and Hakeem are basically the same height. And Hakeem is a totally different player to Dirk.Ummmmm . . . no. Rodman wasn't made of magic.

Re: guarding dirk?!?
If 2k could somehow implement bad games. You can stop him if he has a bad game. Maybe like madden. DPPComment
