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.

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.

Dumb question, but how do you lead pass?

It's not a dumb question, this is not intuitive unless you've played NBA2K before (which we both haven't it looks like).

- Tap the LB/L1 button
- Don't press any buttons yet, but find the player you want to pass to
- When you've found that player, press the button of that player AND hold the direction of the cut you want them to move towards on the LS

They should then move a little towards that direction.

The lead pass towards the basket, doesn't seem to work when pointing in the direction of the basket UNLESS that teammate is moving (this is the only way I've been able to see that lead pass to the basket made).

How do you do Rondo's signature fake move, and the signature moves of other players (such as Kobe's turnaround jumper)?

Rondo's signature move is simply his spin layup

I think you just hit triangle (ps3) while the sticks are in the neutral postion, but I can't remember excatly right now, (away from the game.)

Is there such a thing as a "bullett pass" for the 360?

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

When on offense in my player mode is it supposed to show you what play has been called and the play art for your position ?

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

I play with the Warriors and after getting a rebound and hitting Curry or Ellis with the outlet pass they always pause when they catch the ball (even though they are running before the ball comes) which allows the defense to catch up and get back...is there any way to avoid this from happening or is this 2k's way of cutting down the fast breaks?

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

Love the gameplay cuz Im a realism lover thats why i play(or at least wanna play) 12min hof sim style. Problem is, im gettin murdered every game. I like to make as little slider adjustments as possible but its always the same result...them a lot, me a little...there stats great, my stats horrible! Experts, what adjustments do i need???? thx in advance

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

Why don't you play on Pro Sim style and then when you get to good at that level bump it up from there. I think you are tying to play at a master level when you have only had the game a week. It is okay to play on Pro, I still am.

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

I'm curious as to why this year we have to hold down both triggers to back down someone in the post? I liked in the past when you just had to hold LT. Now, with both hands tied to the triggers, it makes passing out of the post a little harder.

Also, it makes backing someone down harder b/c if you don't time it right, your players will just make a quick move to the basket.

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

Does anyone know how you get a non-point guard player to bring up the ball on offense, without manually switching to him and bring him up?

Like how Lebron will automatically be ready to bring up the ball by default. How do you edit or create players to do this? I've been searching but haven't found the answer.

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

1) when playing defense, how do you "stick" to the CPU? the CPU can always "stick" to me, even in mid-court and forcing me to have a backcourt violation, but when i stand in front of a CPU, they still move normally, even when i press L for "intense D". by the way i cant even tell what intense D does. it doesnt seem to help at all.

2) i have "shot timing help" on but i notice there is no guide/result for baby hooks and other point blank shots. do they have a release timing?

3) on fast break, i am sooo tired of either a) my lead runner STOPPING when receiving the pass (even when I am holding the L stick towards the basket), allowing the CPU to catch up and totally defeating the purpose of a fast break, and b) my lead runner not even getting the pass at all since the CPU has intecepted it. any ways to fix these problems?

Re: NBA 2K11 Q&A Thread

anyone want to quickly explain pick and rolls to me? they don't always happen when i call for them, and i don't really know how to use them effectively when i do get one to actually set up.
