Weird Question but I'm being Serious

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Is there some way to get the AI to jump when you pumpfake online literally every time? This kid had my AI defenders jumping at Al Jefferson at the 3 point line at least 90% of the time. I've never played against a kid that sucks so bad and lost. Literally the only thing he did was pass the ball to Millsap or Jefferson at the 3 point line, pump fake, get the guy to jump, and then morph through my help defense for a dunk. I don't even know how it happened, but literally almost every single time that he pump faked, my guys jumped before I even had a chance to user control the defenders.

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

uh yah....PLAY MAN DEFENSE! ...u wanna either risk playing no man, letting them get to the hole and smash on you as your playing the center..(ok sometimes you might get the block..rare ) or play the guy man up, get the contact glitch where they stop dribbling, just make contact with them..and if its millsap or big al, they should pick up their dribble..well since you know THEY ARE POST PLAYERS...geee bro..

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

WOW I thought this was only happening against me..... I know exactly what you're talking about I played someone that does the same thing and it pisses me off, Because the cpu jumps before I'm able to switch and it's always against a PF or C out in the perimeter.

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

I only use the pump when I realise they ARE playing man and if you made a couple shots prior they usually jump, like a couple games ago I was torching with the Grizz so I passed it up the court to Zach Randolph and he stoped at the 3pt line. Obviously the dude saw I had an open shot but he decided not to play D on it and I splashed the three in his face. He jumped after every outlet pass from that point on....

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

I tried playing man at first, then switched to 1-3-1, then 2-3, then back to man. Nothing worked. And I have like a 78% win percentage online and play sim with the Bucks and Mavs. It's not like I don't know what I'm doing. The guy would seriously just pumpfake once, my guy would jump every time, and then he would morph through the help D for a dunk or a dunk and the foul every single time. He shot like 80% for the game. I've seen people try to dribble with big men and I always get them to pick up their dribble or dribble off their own feet or just lose the ball but it didn't happen once in this game. I can't for the life of me figure out how this guy did it.

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

What did you have your defensive pressure set at? If its high that might contribute to your man jumping more whether you're playing on-ball or off. Also when you're on defense press up on the D pad and check how you're individual defenders are playing a particular offensive player. You can choose between sag-off, auto, and play tight.

I like to change my defensive settings when I play someone who hop-steps in the paint and is waiting for me to jump. I bring my double-teams fast and I play on-ball using the hands up animation.

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

Gotta lower jefferson's defender setting and have him sag-off.

Yeah, I told my guys to sag off both off-ball and on-ball on Millsap and Jefferson. Like I said, I have no idea how it happened, but my guys jumped literally at everything. I guess I'll just chalk it up to a freak game and move on.

What do you mean? He would pass it to Jefferson or Millsap and then pump fake and the guy defending them would jump at the pump fake before I had a chance to take control of the defender myself. What's not to get?

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

i mean, i'm so used to switch my player on D to take control of the on ball defender and i do it so quick that i dont see how it is possible to make my cpu defender jump before i took control of it

i actualy never played one of those "cheesers" so i cant tell but i dont see how it could happen against me tbh

Lol trust me, I felt the same way. Is it quicker to just click A (on 360) to switch to the on-ball defender or using RB? I always use RB so I don't end up controlling the wrong guy.

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

ive been going thru something similar with my friend. he'll just keep pump faking until the defender jumps then he jumps into them for the foul. i want to know is there a way to lower the effectiveness of the pumpfake offline.

Re: Weird Question but I'm being Serious

Lower the global contest shots tendency for the cpu, and defensive pressure like Pared stated.

I think this is an issue that also needs to be addressed. If the defender doesn't fall for the first fake, they shouldn't really fall for subsequent fakes, not to say that it doesn't happen irl, though.

Well I mean, sometimes the 2nd fake will get people in real life, but 1, pump fakes are not done in real life the way they are in 2k. In 2k, a kid will stand there for 10 seconds and then pump fake and get the defender to jump. In real life, the guy that pump fakes is usually doing it right when they catch the ball or they at least jab step and then pump fake. It isn't done like that in 2k.
