    Big Men how do you feel about post ball handling online ?

    Played a few pro am games and noticed it's really easy to spam steals from a big man in the post . I'm not holding the ball anything just about a second . Sometimes I'll shoot soon as I catch the ball and I'll get stripped no reach in or shooting foul called.

    Just wondering what you guys are seeing

    Kinda sucks for us bigs....even rebounding the ball results in a lose ball.

    I wish we can level up something that involves hands lol

      Yeah it's pretty easy to get stripped as a big....I hesitate to boost my post moves because of it

      what's crazy is that as a perimeter player, using LT to protect the ball works great...

      as soon as you get down in the hole as a big though, you're done..

        Is there any way to better protect the ball?

          They had a special Karl Malone animation in one of the older 2k games. Once you rebound you pressed a button he would throw them elbows and the guy reaching will do a back away animation.

          We need that back....

            Hate playing online to see people immediately run to the guy in the post to reach in on them or run to the guy getting the board to reach in too. It's not fair because playing the post isn't something that you can just go into for an easy shot; it takes some time and when people are rushing to you to steal the ball, you have little time to do an advanced post move. The rebounds are just disrespectful how they reach tho. Straight up mug you the second you come down with the ball and no foul.

                It's happening before the big has a chance to enter an input, protect or pass.

                  I'm not a big but our teams center actually put up his handling to try to minimize the turnovers but it still happens way too often. Cant feed him the post, when he rebounds he has to give up the ball immediately.

                    You must not play as a big if you think we can pass out of an animation faster than a defender can steal the ball

                      Sadly, ball control is the key to keeping the ball and you need to upgrade playmaking for that. Maxing it out might get you to a sweet 50 at most, not even worth the upgrade.

                        I'll tell you something else that bothers me. Quite a few times lately while playing Pro Am with my buddies, I've went up to dunk the ball with my center and for some crazy reason the ref blows the whistle and its called out of bounds. Instant turnover and the ball never goes out of bounds.

                          I maxed my play making on my center to try and help constantly getting ripped online, didn't help at all. I just told my friends to stop passing me the ball because its a liability when they do.

                            Max inside gives you max post control, which is the only way a Big should be holding the ball.

                            Playmaking is invaluable for break-starter.

                              Its a damn shame. I run PG with my crew and I have to avoid passing my big the ball unless he's wide open. I also hate that he gets offensive boards but he instantly gets stripped it's just pointless and most likely the penalty for the turnover outweighs the positive of the rebound
