This is legit. There are some very useful tips that are easily ignored. My defense immediately improved just from picking the correct right stick response during a 1v1. Great work, as always!
So much made about the offensive improvements, I wasn’t aware of many of these defensive mechanics changes. That’s obviously on me but it’s great to have a video like this highlighting them. Thanks for all your hard work
My wife gonna unalive me for liking and subbing but so be it well deserved. I have not seen a good defensive vid since sam pham was doing these. GBY dawg!
Man I always love when when I get a notification that jerseymade93 dropped a new video haha.. I already know the game inside and out and been playing since like 06 but your vids really help me fine toon my game this year and last year. Keep em coming bro!
Thank you for doing this video. I feel like after all these years my defense is terrible and a lot of the time I get lucky. I didn't know the paint thing. Going to go try it right now.
12.. Got a 6’9 lockdown with 85 steal 92 perimeter and 93 block .. I can guard 1-4 but I’m ready to try out this right stick cutoff on the faster guards everything else I already use
Hey man if you get a chance can you please let me know why im at the rec or proving grounds or any pickup game i can cant shoot and i miss layups. Im talking nobody was there i miss layups. Is the layup meter on in these games or can you just tell me what the general settings. I realize playing season mode against the computer is easier but my player never misses a wide open layup and ive been playing since 2019 i never miss wide open layups.
Just made a lock no more than 3 days ago on the rebirth, a small guard with long wingspan and high shooting/steal ratings. This I think will help me with this issue I was having with unintentionally fouling on the drives and not contesting like I want to.
@@Jerseymad93 each video this year has got some piece of my game right and made it way more likely that I’m getting the right animation or the right outcome out of my player. Elite work for real
The difference with hands up defense specifically when standing in the paint. I always thought holding the right stick up on absolute allows you to stick your hands up and get better contest and I thought it was better than holding the sick down.
In previous 2K’s the direction didn’t matter but this year it just depends if you have a height advantage you don’t need to jump with hands up, if you are dealing with a good finisher, you should try to use the hands up that will jump
Also I don’t really know what else to really add. The video shows how to stop the drop step, you just read when the offensive player goes for it and use one of the contesting options I gave
Hold your right stick down the whole time and if you’re fighting for the correct position when they drop step into you and gather the ball you’ll automatically strip the ball. I use this with 60 steal rating and 3/10 times I get a steal from back to the basket moves this way, works way better against driving lay ups and gathers for contact driving dunks I steal far more of those than drop steps using this way
Ain’t no stopping it bro. Don’t matter what defensive stats I got, if I run into a big monster they be having 98-99 post control and just throw me out the way. Throw me so bad I can’t recover to contest the close shot. And of course they have high close shot and use real player percent so everything just goes in
@@user-kw7rt9zl4e u see this is a realistic response because I have a Ben Wallace build with 93 interior, 93 block ,95 strength ,89 perimeter, and 85 vertical, I have legend post move lock down ,I can hold my right stick down and all that but yet I might get a stop 4/10 times
Thank you bro. I have a question : how do you put the red on your icons ? Im a ps5 and my icons are white with no red around... and i can't see very well if its square or cercle.. thank you bro
What do you do with dudes who just double tap sprint and max call for ball and use the off ball speed boost no matter what I can't touch them and just get ran over i got legend pest strength gold def badges yet I can't just run past anyone but they are to me and it's literally just off ball speed boosting
Will cover this in a future defense video but you need to back off and think about staying between where the basketball is and your assignment instead.

Thank you I love hearing updates like this and the more nuance tips been utilized
This is so fire. The quality of your vids just keep getting better in both content and style. 🔥
Finally someone does a video on the RS cutoff animation they added
here's somebody else you can look at @Jerseymade93

Another absolute sauce video.
LS dribbles OP asf
The dropstep contest and the on ball shading tips were crucial. Appreciate the info bro! (12)
🙏 appreciate you bro for watching and got more videos on defense on the way
My wife gonna unalive me for liking and subbing but so be it well deserved. I have not seen a good defensive vid since sam pham was doing these. GBY dawg!
I love how organized this video is, and the editing.
Any comment I get regarding editing means the world to me bro. Thank you for this
@@Jerseymad93 Np 🙏, this video was helpful and I’ve incorporated some of the things in my gameplay

Been waiting on a defensive tutorial video 🔥
Right on time as I’m making my second build
What build are you cooking up bro? 👀
12.. Got a 6’9 lockdown with 85 steal 92 perimeter and 93 block .. I can guard 1-4 but I’m ready to try out this right stick cutoff on the faster guards everything else I already use
How you score on a build like this? I don’t be playing park like that fr
@@cliff8179 spot up mostly but I got 80 ball control and 75 speed with ball plus 1 to get gold fast launch
Great content as usual.
Thank you Kevin 🙏
TWELVE 12 🎉. Great video bro. Confirmed all my presumptions and made me way more confident when approaching the defense in 2k25.
💪🏾 thank you for watching, glad the video could help
Great video brother. Didn't know up/down flicks on the right stick triggered cut off moves too.

I realize playing season mode against the computer is easier but my player never misses a wide open layup and ive been playing since 2019 i never miss wide open layups.
Is there any way to get consistent help by pressing L1? Cause now its like random, very inconsistent.
12 as always to ya my man always veey insightful on the game of ball in general man keep up the great work as always brotha 💪
Just made a lock no more than 3 days ago on the rebirth, a small guard with long wingspan and high shooting/steal ratings. This I think will help me with this issue I was having with unintentionally fouling on the drives and not contesting like I want to.
Yeah you’ll really maximize your wingspan with the hands up advice and vertical contest animation

Tbh ,would love a more in-depth tutorial on how to stop post scores ,that literally just spam drop steps
not much to it tbh, just make your builds with interior defense and strength. need both to stop drop steps

Great video easy to understand tutorial keep up the great work. 12!
This is a tough vid dawg, preciate it!
For shading on dropsteps, is it strictly left or right? Or do I need to move my left stick up or down if they’re on the block dropstepping
Left or right
@@Jerseymad93 thank you
Thank you bro. I have a question : how do you put the red on your icons ? Im a ps5 and my icons are white with no red around... and i can't see very well if its square or cercle.. thank you bro
Hey bro unfortunately I don’t think you can change those.
@@Jerseymad93 thank you
Thank you king💪🏾 I needed this video.
Thank you for watching bro
Lockdown Academy thanks you wit these tips 🙏🏾
If you have any tips for getting over screens or defending screens and to reduce the amount you slide that would be dope man
Yes I’m working on that online guide now.
@@Jerseymad93 that’s awesome

Good vid bro! I need help, how you use this thing when I can see “I got ball” how u use it?
Team communication setting is what you’re looking for bro, and it’s in the coach settings with play art
@@Jerseymad93 thanks !!!!
For strip steals should you *hold* or flick the right stick?
Hold.
12 ion know how but I've never heard of switching manually this is very valuable information
12...hands up, strip steal 💪🏿
12 So you have to use the right stick in "absolutive"?
No you don’t, whatever you’re comfortable with at the end of the day
Yo how to contest eurosteps
The sliding for defense in rec and online is wild
How do you stop the back down. My guy has 91 strength and gold lockdown but when I get back down he doesn’t put up a fight.
Press the left stick towards the offensive post player as he’s doing an aggressive backdown
@ ok thanks, 2kU should have a way to practice this or inform you. I guess playing one on one with old school centers would be the only way.
Yeah head to black top mode it’s the only way rn hopefully they’ll expand learn2k next year
@@Jerseymad93 ok thanks I’ll give it a try and smash that subscribe button
Thank you bro 🙏
12 Could you test out some badges like Legend Postmove Lockdown and Legend Menace??
Would have to use nba players for testing like 2k tutes and not a build. I’m only making one build this year.
Still struggling with the strips and the rs cutoffs seems like everybody and literally everyone slides off of me
Are you using a build or are you in something like play now online?
@ using my career build I have a 96 steal so I try not to spam but it kills me when ppl strip me and I can’t strip em back
Literally just made a lock today, good looks 🙏🏾✊🏾
Great vid ❤
how do you change the right stick to absolute?
In controller settings
Cool video. Useful tips. The volume of the background music is too high relative to your voice being too low.
I know. Software audio mixer glitched
12 great stuff keep it coming
great video bro! 12
Pleas come out with a vid to get around screens are to over power
Got you in a few bro
12 much respect, preciate the tips!
💪🏾
Legit tips man thanks for sharing these. Oh and 12 😎

Thank you for genuinely watching the entire video bro
Right stick defense no longer jump😢😢What should we do？😢
Hands up n walk around technique I showed or vertical contest can make up for it
@ Oh，Thank you bro.We want to finish the layup steal, only hit square？
12 love it thank you
Defense doesn’t exist in my career mode
Good video :) thanks
12. I fuck with the content , definitely learning new thing . I appreciate it bro
12….good stuff
Good video family.
12 ❤ the videos bro
Great video but the background music is too loud
I know, audio mixer glitch in premiere, this is not a normal issue in my videos.
12, Great tutorial
12 for sure!
Thank you as always TeaNealz ! Really can’t explain how much the continuous support has mean to me
