90 On ball Defense


Does anyone else have a PG or SG?
If so do you guys have trouble keeping the opposing player in front of you?
Had real trouble to start with but now i can block most shots.

The bolded part of the quote is important when defending the ball handler. Also I find with most PG/SG's (unless they are money from behind the 3) give yourself some space to allow you to see which way he is about to go. I find it easier to pick the direction when there is more space between myself (defender) and the PG/SG.

I've just started up an MP, and given my basketball knowledge is pretty scarce, it's a real challenge.

I got drafted in the second round, about pick 10 I think, to the Knicks, and am in the summer circuit now. But I'm horrible, I'm lucky to finish with C+ ratings, and will only ever complete one objective at best.

I was hoping the BigFooty experts could lead me in the right direction! As an SG, what should I be looking to do, both on offence and defence? I always feel like I'm out of position, and I struggle to defend at the best of times.

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated, because despite my lack of ability, I'm really enjoying the mode!!

 

[THRILLHO]

In all seriousness, quit and restart as a PG.

With the new playcalling, whenever I'm at SG only one in five plays are run for me and I end up setting screens for Durant. It's not fun.

PG is where it's at in this mode.

 

[THRILLHO]

Alright, one tip. SG's usually end up in the corner, so on defence, creep next to the paint and try and grab the rebound for easy grade boost.

If you're not going the rebound get on the fast break so you're more likely to get the ball. Pump points into 3s because I find it really hard to beat the defence without euro layups or hop steps.

Really can't be arsed starting this again, I'm just getting the hang of it

I must be a patch short, or missing something obvious, because I cant seem to see any signs of playcalling??

But thanks heaps for that, the awesomeness of the game is still outweighing my shitness!

 

[silverscope]

You don't see big blue circles and black lines on the court during offense?? IF you don't then you are a patch behind and don't update if possible

Too late....

Straight to the D-League, and now with this playcalling, the fun seems to be sucked out

 

[THRILLHO]

I used to hate on the play-calling, but now I think it makes the mode better.

Agreed.

 

[silverscope]

I don't mind it either way. It makes the game mode more "realistic" although I do find that no matter what team you are in your teammates suck and generally miss the easy shots you hand feed them.

 

[jonesy86]

Agreed.

agreed x2

once you get good enough, they run most of the plays through you... even as a C

and if they don't and your in a good spot just call for the pass and more often than not they give you the ball

 

[NAUGHT5]

Just sprint up to the offensive end once the opposition shoot and rack up the fast break score & good shot selections.

Summer circuit is boring so I just did that. Got me on Miami's roster.

 

[jonesy86]

just had an awesome online game i was chicago vs lakers

came back from 10pts down at 3qtr time

scores were tied 61-61 with 15sec left, they had the ball

i forced turnover and got a fastbreak layup to take 63-61 lead with 3.2sec left

then kobe faked me on the inbound, i went the block, he went under and got a dunk with 1.2sec left

then derrick rose catch and shoot 3 to win the game 66-63 as time exprired, don't think i've been that excited playing a game ever

 

[Geoffa32]

Rated 89, still not starting for the Lakers. 148 games played.

Starting finals tonight.

I used to hate on the play-calling, but now I think it makes the mode better.

I like the fact that it makes me feel like playing a team game more (instead of calling for the ball every time). Being a banger PF, it gives me the chance for lots of Orbs and putback dunks.

I was a sg the white jordan.
My main scoring option was mid-long range jumpers and hard drives for dunks.
After a couple of nailed jumpshots the defenders are suckers for fakes making driving easy.

Hes now who i control in my association mode using same camera etc.

Was also a rebounding machine instead of sitting back or heading opposite way for fast breaks.
After shots i was headed to the ring to try an grab rebounds.
Ive never managed a putback dunk though what button do u press for that im guessing its not the rebound button an hope it happens?
Coz thats what i have been doing.

Have to be holding Sprint (R2) + Rebound (Triangle). But you obviously need momentum and everything to go your way.

 

[THRILLHO]

I thought it was shoot?

 

[sblack]

I thought it was shoot?

After looking it up, it is indeed. Maybe thats why I've never done one

 

[triplejdude]

Was 6 games out from the All Star game in my second season when I got injured taking a jumpshot. Considering exactly the same thing happened in my first season, I ragequit and started the game again.

No way am I missing the All Star/Sophomore game for the second year running

 

[Frothies Mcveigh]

After getting used to My Player mode I started again as a PG, got drafted to Minnesota. Lost th first 7 games and then Love got traded for Andray Blatche

Have requested a trade out of there.

 

[JR#8]

Finally got this game but I suck very badly. I couldn't even do well in the first "my player" games. I ended up getting drafted in the second round to Indiana Pacers but after failing to impress they cut me.

I'm now playing in the D league for the Bayhawks...doing ok. Anyone got any tips for me so I can start owning this game?

 

[beev]

Don't know why it took me so long to start 'My Player'? Absolutely loving it.

I had a shocking draft combine which resulted in me getting drafted to the Wizards in the 2nd round. I'm a PG. Fantastic. I didn't expect to see much minutes with Wall and Hinrich.

I had a decent summer circuit and gradually increased my minutes until I became 6th man and was getting the most minutes. The Wizards traded Hinrich for Calderon so I was mostly playing as a SG off the bench so I requested a trade. Landed at the Heat . Started the first three games and was so close to averaging a triple double, with a teamate grade of A. Then I got relegated to 6th man, but still playing the most minutes. Bloody frustrating.
