    Getting spanked online

    Hi

    I need some help. Whenever i play online im constantly getting blown by on the outside. Numerous videos say to force to baseline, but if i do this they just pass to the guy on the side and run around the side of me towards the bassline via a blow by animation. If i force middle then they just blow by me into the middle of the key,

    I understand about holding intense D to try and stop the blow by animation but if they get even the smallest bit of space they still just run right past me.

    Am i doing something fundamentally wrong ? I can play and beat AI on HOF but on play online it's just constant blow by cheese that i can't work out how to stop.

    Is this pno or my career?

    Its basicially comes down to the match up and wether or not you can predict where the opponent is going.

    With clamps if you can predict it right, you can stop it.

    Lightning reflexes can help you give an early cue.

    But if that other person has a much faster or stronger build with enough ball handle and badges its still going to be tough.


    PNO its pretty much all about the match up as well.

    If you have a guy like harden that can drive and shoot id put klay on him if im the warriors and then have curry sag off on westbrook to force jumpshots.

    Against portland id have klay on lillard though and have curry play tight on i forgot his name.

    Personally i always force baseline as its easier to predict where the player is going and you can try a charge.

    Not to mention the boundary is your friend.

    If its to hard you can always do double team on drive.

      in play now online, learn to use plays. go look for punch loop 25. that one is good for starters.
      even if you end up losing, you'll learn that it's cool to set up plays to get open 3s or open layups. it's like playing chess and you'll get better in the long run.

        The match-ups are of course going to matter and you have to provide some space too. Force them to hit some lightly contested jumpers. If you try to constantly get close and body them up, they'll be able to just get around you. This isn't 2K19 anymore where you could use almost any player and bump around all day on the perimeter.

          Thanks for the replies, im talking about play now online btw

          Im already using plays and freelances (I play every game sim style rather than cheesing). It's just my players get blown by all the time online. It probably is down to the matchups as when I use a great defensive team with good perimeters defence like the clippers I have a lot more success... any team without a great defence I struggle to defend baseline rushers.

            If you're using a bad perimeter defense team I would just tell the AI to force baseline and control the help defender myself. You're not going to be able to contain anyone that knows what they're doing if your defenders don't have the clamps badge.

            I'm not saying play off-ball 100% of the time. Just when you know they're isolating.

            Or if you refuse to play off-ball no matter what then you could just gap them and force them to shoot jumpshots.
