Still trying to figure how to play solid D? Are you frustrated?
why 2k Sports did not tell us this I have no idea but here is how you D up in 2k... First you want to change your right stick defense to absolute. You do this by going to my controller settings.
Right stick defense is the key to success in this game. While on defense you want to push and hold the right stick to the left. This will cause your player to plant his feet in a defensive stance which helps you stay in front of your man. Use the left stick to stay in front of your man and the left stick you can change your angles. You can force a player to his left or right. You will also notice that once you start doing this your team defense will step up big time.
You can go for steals by holding the right stick to the left and if timed correctly rotating the right stick up and your player will go for a smooth steal animation. Make sure to contest by pressing the block button when a player pulls up for a mid range jump shot. To contest in the paint hold the right stick to the left and push the left stick into the offensive player. You can attempt a block from this animation as well by quickly pressing block button.
The computer AI will start to probe and be forced to run the offense and not just take you off the dribble. Throw in the aggressive d modifier (left trigger or L2) and your a defensive guru.
Trust this is no gimmick try it and hit me on this thread...
