the Sweetspot for Intimidator this year is Silver. I played around with Intense-D Assist setting (SmalL Forward, 6'6", max Speed, 84 Lateral Quickness and Perimeter Defense) and can confirm 30 is the setting that gives me the best controle most of the time. Still sometimes my dude does some weird shit that I don't seem to have controle on. The sliding/skating on ice this year is horrible and when you play against CPU like in MyCareer games you can clearly see when the game starts scripting against you and just pulls you away from the ballhandler that you have to guard or (worse) just pulls you behind him, and your shotcontests don't matter, they nail the 3s anyway.
i felt like a noob when you showed the defensive assist. i was wondering why my dude was moving around to much. too many times i would be fighting for position and then my dude would give it up and run somewhere else. big help there. only thing i run on badges that is different is i use moving truck and off ball pest. because i like to bump into anyone cutting into the key.
I ran ante up 1's against all interior forces, paint beasts, and glasscleaners without intimidator and I did just fine, as long as you are there for defense you will get a stop and I'm a 7'0 interior force myself. I would still put it on bronze but I wouldn't pass silver 👍🏽
I just be busy 😂 I got a lot goin on behind the scenes, but been keeping the daily vids and the quality as high as I still expect, just not as locked into the comment section as I once was
Holding Y definitely helps a lot, i was experimenting with it and I got at least twice as much blocks since I started doing it, also before I got no snatch blocks, after I get them pretty consistently if I time it right
Hey! Try putting PRO STICK DEFENSE orientation on CAMERA RELATIVE, and use right stick in the direction where you want your player to go. It helps with sliding
Depending on what build you are it depends how well intimidator is useful. On my pure stretch with basically no interior defense it’s very useful especially since I play as the big man and guard inside centers
Notes from 2k21 - heart crusher is the new intimidator - intimidator and pogo stick are nerfed by 50% - chase down artist is still a top 15 badge - Clamps is just as effective on bronze as it is gold
When you pass with X the game decides who to target based on the settings there. If you put direction to the max like LakerFan does it will go to where you point 100% of the time, but sometimes it can be too sensitive, so you can balance it out by increasing the Pass Target Distance or Openness. If you put Distance to the max when you press X you will pass to whomever is closer to you, if you put Openness to the max, you will pass to whomever the game thinks is more open. The three sliders must add up to 100%, so if you want to increase the openness, you have to reduce some others and you can balance it out however you think works best for you.
I have HOF rim protector, heart crusher and rebound chaser on my big and in the rec I’ve got my glass take three times in one game quite a few times already while keeping the other team cold as ice
For the shot meter if you swipe R downwards quite slowly it's gonna appear somewhere on the left side, and if you swipe it fast it's gonna appear on the right side.
I'm trying to decide between a 6'8 pure red pg and a 6'9 pure red pf. I know the pg gets gets more speed and more playmaking with dimer and floor. While the pf gets glass take and big man contact dunks. Any advice???
Depends on your teamates if your teamates can't shoot too well go pg, but if they don't need to rely on dimer than go pf because you can get offensive boards even when out if position depending on how you make it
HOF pick dodger I believe is needed because I play pretty decent defense. So they end up screening a lot more. Beside that you got your sweats that screen non stop so to recover and let help defense drop I think that's more important than intimidator and trapper
Thinking about atributes combined with badges. Is this true? If you have an 88 steal rating without the badge will you get steals? Why do I need a badge with a 88 to 90 steal rating? Doesn't make sense.
Intiminator badge in 2k21 only activates when ur myplayer jumps when defending the opposition, when they start a shot, a bad badge to waste upgrades on!
Yeah I have putback boss on gold and I had glass take active and a playshot made me miss a wide open dunk after a offensive rebound by putting his hands up behind me
Yo lakersfan, just wondering if the defense feels weird this year or is it just me. I feel like I move a lot faster than I did in 2k20 and been having trouble getting use to it. Any tips?
Intense D help and Box out slider dont work in Park....its only for sim and vs AI games. This + delay + Low lateral makes your Player skating around in Park. Lakerfan has a pure Red build with High lateral Speed and agility , Thats why He maybe dont noticed the Sliders dont work online.
@@nielspeterlyck592 if u ask me I say u don't need it paint defense so good u don't have to jump i have a 6'7 stretch and get stops of course from time to time they will make bs but for the most part its good
The most fun part about this year's grind is having to do it all over again with next console in a few months lol. Good stuff though. The swat block is working well since watching this
There's a big difference. It limits the amount of space you need to cover. Bronze is weak this year but people get one dope chase block and swear it's OP 😭
When she has heart crusher on hall of fame 😔
you good?
Underrated comment
U geh
Keep your head up, king
It's cool my boy
I feel like chase down artist doesn’t work as often as 2k20
Honestly that’s good. Chase down blocks are rare they shouldn’t be happening all the time.
Unfortunately I get chase down blocked all the time 😞
You have to time it perfectly in the right circumstances
I feel like its just as if not stronger than in 20
Lekamotu I don’t think so, I haven’t tried hof chase down but silver didn’t get me any

When I tell you I’ve been WAITING for this one...
You can change the settings in your MyCourt or practice facility if you dont feel like going to the main menu
Rim protector is crazyyy this year... I got one regular block and then got a snatch block and I was almost at team takeover already
I ran ante up 1's against all interior forces, paint beasts, and glasscleaners without intimidator and I did just fine, as long as you are there for defense you will get a stop and I'm a 7'0 interior force myself. I would still put it on bronze but I wouldn't pass silver 👍🏽
I like how in the animation of the vertical contest the ball still goes in lmao
Intimidator is very OP when I use it, Clamps tho is Highly suspect from what I’ve noticed✊🏾
Almost 100k nice dude lol that’s wild... I remember a while back before my laptop broke and corona when you actually responded to my comments 😂

Facts heart crusher on HoF and intimidator and pogo both silver for my interior force PF. Works just fine.
Michael Burton I don’t even run it it’s ass now
@@okwow2679 so guards with clamps on bronze works fine or no?
Can someone explain to me what the "pass target direction" does???
When you aim left analog towards a teammate that’s where the ball goes when you pass it
When you pass with X the game decides who to target based on the settings there.
If you put direction to the max like LakerFan does it will go to where you point 100% of the time, but sometimes it can be too sensitive, so you can balance it out by increasing the Pass Target Distance or Openness.

6'8 but go burly and 220 pounds
Lock take and max interior def
6'8 is faster

I've literally been waiting for this EXACT video!!!!
you can check your takeover on offense if you have the ball in your hand
Guard interior defense is OP asf
more defense videos! been waiting on this💯💯
Just subbed , needed this info to step my defense up , great vid 👍👍👍
My only question is with trapper, does your pg need it too for it to work? Or can I as the big run it by myself effectively?
was thinking the same exact thing. Need this answered asap
It works the same as the "good double team" prompt that pops up. Your PG is guarding his man and you come double with YOUR trapper to activate it.
Tomikaaze no not really it helps tho
Nothin I love more than a tips video from lakerfan
Does anyone’s controller settings reset?
YES
What are the best badges for defense if I’m a 6’11 driving power forward, I get 11 defensive badges, Plz someone help
Do you think it would be at all beneficial to go speed vert instead of pure speed on your build? I’m stuck between the two
Thinking about atributes combined with badges. Is this true? If you have an 88 steal rating without the badge will you get steals?
Why do I need a badge with a 88 to 90 steal rating? Doesn't make sense.
Pulling the chair is a blow by waiting to happen I love when people pull it my big gathers fast for a free dunk
bad at the game
@@snarls-1651 him or the defender
@lakerfan if you had 10 def badge points, what would you use it on?
I feel like it’s harder to get blocks this year. Are swat blocks attempts better that regular block?
Intiminator badge in 2k21 only activates when ur myplayer jumps when defending the opposition, when they start a shot, a bad badge to waste upgrades on!
Huh. Good to know
Defense Dog been with you since 17 broski always got good info💯👊🏽
Bro play shots got 99 interior defense change my mind lmao
Yeah I have putback boss on gold and I had glass take active and a playshot made me miss a wide open dunk after a offensive rebound by putting his hands up behind me
Defense. And yeah on ball is tough. I got a play shot creator . 74 on ball and lateral with gold clamps. Tough to stay in front of folks at times
What should I use if I have 20 def
does the definsive assist work on the rec?
I got a snatch block on big man with my 6,2 play shot with bronze RIM 😂😂
do 2 people need trapper or is one person fine?
Nicely done on this video. I learned some things. Thank you. DEFENSE.
Laker fan how do you have the Vancouver grizzlies jersey?
Did heart crusher get nerfed
Thanks bro always helping
Lightning reflex is the answer to all defensive problems💯

Great vid bro
Does strength meter this year??
Good vid laker
For my pure red 6’8 pf should I have intimidator HOF bc my perimeter d is only at 70?
no
Intense D help and Box out slider dont work in Park....its only for sim and vs AI games.
This + delay + Low lateral makes your Player skating around in Park.
Lakerfan has a pure Red build with High lateral Speed and agility , Thats why He maybe dont noticed the Sliders dont work online.
Is this set up legit for a paint beast power forward?
Tutorial on guarding 7'3 post hook next please 🙏
Don’t press LT or put hands up and try to time a block using Y
You have to jump , dont raise your hands as it will be green in your face
I want to make his build but does strength matter or not
What’s the best defensive badge layout for PG Play Shot w/ 9 badges?
depends if u got a lock on your team or not
You sir are a GOAT for those of us who like to play good defense.
Hof intimidator is the only way to get contests along the perimeter
No
He run centee
Kisha Clarke that makes no sense but ok
Thank you so much. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Suuuuper helpful video bruh!

Im using pogo stick and omg it is still good. Recommend
My friend is using pogo stick hof and it seems useless. I jump as fast as him without the badge

I'm sliding like crazy defending. Need like a stop n go badge on defense
check out Sam Pham on youtube, best in depth 2k youtuber for fixes for sliding defense and many other things
does pick dodger even work ?
Bro it sucks this year
Are y'all using the defense assist? I haven't tried it yet.
I switched to 15 or 20 percent. Seems like a decent balance
made the same build i love it... gets mad contact dunks for only having gold finishing badges
Been watching for a couple of months and just subbed cause of this
Just started the vid anyone got any good ideas for a 2 way sharp badge layout,I can get 1 finishing 20 shooting 11 playmaking and 22 defensive
So you don’t run clamps WHY??
The most fun part about this year's grind is having to do it all over again with next console in a few months lol. Good stuff though. The swat block is working well since watching this
I thought heart crusher got nerfed?
Nahh I doubt it. Haven’t noticed any difference using it since the patch
Everytime i flick rs down it contests
new subscriber great video

I personally felt no difference between bronze and HOF chase down

🔥🔥another banger
Love the content 👌 real talk nobody read the badges correctly

Its more slighty early goes in and slighty late instead goes in.
I have snatch blocked this year without rim protector on twice.
are u a big or lock
block and rebound rating?
