How do you stop the stepback move? That crap feels unstoppable as a man defender and

[gknjr007]

Crossover, STEPBACK, drive forward, stop, STEPBACK, STEPBACK, drive forward, STEPBACK, STEPBACK, drive forward for a layup.

Im on skates as a a defender and the ballhander speed boost out that crap and constantly drives by me. I mean how many times do i have to defend that stepback, knowing i dont have the consistent tools as a defender to stop that everytime the ballhandler resets after a fail drive attempt by the same ballhandler in the same possesion? The problem is when the game first came out the ballhandler was forced to pick up the ball if he just kept running into you, but they took that tool away from the defense. 2k22 was about giving us equal tool as the offense. What happened to that promise. Give us a "cut off move" like in 2k12

And for anyone that doesn't know what he's talking about.

I experienced it on probably the worst way tonight.

Curry, He just kept doing it over and over.

so is He scoring with a layup all the time? why dont you just keep your distance then while He is doing the stepback? dare him to Shoot as this is obviously Not the Option He likes to take. See of He is capable of doing that.

Ahhhh that doesn't work. It depends on the player your defending. As the other day I was playing Curry. I'll see if I can find any clips from the game. But basically the user I played. .

He would hesi-step back. And if the defender doesn't step up. He's shooting a 3. When you do step up (as defender), he'll crossover (left stick). Even if you off ball and let the CPU play him it's kind of the same results.

I think the problem I have with the whole thing is Curry doesn't play like that in real life. That much dribbling is totally uncalled for.

For me, I don’t bit or close in on every move people make and most of the time they will run right into you. Play a side and send them to the help.

I love the explosions and dribbling this year as well as the stepbacks. Best they have ever been IMO. Responsive dribbling. I hope this stays as is for this and future games.

But I think the defense needs the same explosion boost as well to counter.

Offline you can help mitigate through sliders. Online it has to feel like on skates at times because defensively you don’t get the same boost or explosion that the offense does.

Every player who has to defend James Harden wants to know this too.

I've going to try this out next time I face someone like this . In my game the user was cold in the first half. But in the second half took off and there was nothing I could do but Double team. That's kind of how I won the game. Double off Draymond Green. Let him do whatever he wanted.

Exactly!! I would hope some of these defensive badges would do that. But it's pretty obvious offense is first [emoji23]

Not like this lol. Even Luka has a step back. But the way Curry does it. It's flat out not real with the combo of his deep 3's. In my game he had 36 points. Defensively I gave up with on-ball defense after the first quarter. Let me see if I can upload the game.

Here is one instance I just screen recorded on my phone. Please bare with the video quality.

I have waaaay more from that one game. I give him credit for having that much control over a player. Because I could never do that many moves. I think Curry only sat once. Which is the part that bothers me. I've always seen Curry as a off the ball mover that's also a great dribbler. This kind of dribbling seems more Harden/Luka style.

Just to add... Like if he called a pick and roll. I might be ok with all this. But he's attacking me like I'm a big that just switched on him [emoji23]. That can't be it.

Get rid of handle for days and make stamina matter.

That is all that needs to be done.

Or nerf it or give defense the ability to speed boost too.

I just know he didn't have you jumping like that, Jeebs....

Oh he totally had me jumping. I think it was after this possession I stopped playing on ball defense [emoji23]. But I couldn't do anything. I'm going to clip out all his buckets. Looking back I should of forced him to drive for 2's. But even when I played up. It was either he was going to drive by for a easy two or escape into another 3 point attempt.

That's the worse part. They do all that dribbling, and they're still able to nail the 3.

Re: How do you stop the stepback move? That crap feels unstoppable as a man defender

That's too easy to stop.

Number One Defensive RULE is to never hold Sprint or L2 for too long. Learn to release and just face the player you are guarding just by using the right stick and anticipate the direction he is going.

Again the most important is Stop holding L2 or R2 (ps4/5 controller) for way too long. Don't tap it again and again aswell, learn to anticipate when to use both at times.
