Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

How can I check the opponents on the floor lineup when playing online?

Many are taking advantage of using the 90+ players against my point guard and it's hard to see who has who while the game is running:
examples:
using Kobe at PG ...
using Lebron at PG ...

Is there a way to see the player positions etc during a timeout so I can change the matchup? Otherwise, it's just watching dunk after dunk ...

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

How can I save my sliders and settings in this game? Sounds easy, but after I turn off the system and then go to play the next day I can't get my sliders to load and I have to put them back in. I have tried loading them, but when I play a game they aren't there.

I have never had a problem like this before and it is really weird.

I do not understand how to run plays. Everytime I try to run a play for my SG, I end up doing a fake pass.

LB, A, select play.

Or, L2, Circle, select play.

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

I have two questions I can't figure out.

1. For example if im controlling my pg and I want my Center/PF/SF/etc to get in the post and post up his man for a quick post, how do I do I call that play. I see the it under quick plays, but its different from how it was last year, I can't seem to figure this out.

2. How do you save your camera settings? I've changed the settings and then saved my profile, and my settings file and it still goes back to the default camera. -

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

Hi guys just had 2 quick questions.

1. How do you lean into a defender after you pump fake them into the air?

2. After a guy sets a pick for you, how do you get the player to cut to the hoop for the layup/dunk ( in other words, do a give and go).

Thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

Why is my player passing to a random teammate when I press the LB/R1 button when Icon Passing is enabled?

I mostly try to have Icon Passing on while playing and sometimes decide I want to run a play instead (by tapping the LB/R1 button) and what ends up happening is my guy just passes to someone I didn't want to pass to and it gets stolen. Why is LB being interpreted as a pass when it is not assigned to any teammate ... or is it? What's going on here?

I know I can cancel out of the Icon Passing ... but I'd like to know what is happening since I would have thought LB/R1 should have just cancelled into the Play selection mode.

HOLD the button you pressed when setting the pick. You'll see an icon above their head. Inside that icon are arrows, if you hold that button long enough, you will see an arrow animating and pointing towards the basket. Release it when that is set and they will go towards the basket. There might be another way, but that's the one I noticed through trial and error.

There really needs to be a Rookie/Newbie Q&A thread, this Q&A thread is too general, not to mention, lengthy at over 100+ pages. The Freestyle mode can only teach you so much and the instruction manual isn't very descriptive about what you really have to do for some of these "normal" moves like the give and go and pick and roll.

1. Push left stick in the direction of the airborne player and shoot.

2. That is called a pick and roll. Hold L1 and release it to call for a pick and roll.
