IDK why I even doubt you. I was literally stuck on the triple threat challenge for TWO DAYS cause I couldn't get a 3 steals. I see this video and got it on the FIRST TRY. Too Elite man, thank you.
I'm not sure if they patched it, or if I just cant get it down, but the cpu PG always crosses over or protects the ball when i start running towards him :(
Ur probably just running too early remember to run when you 2-3 steps away from the AI and you should get it most of the time. U can also get bump steals easily in other situations just pay attention to when the ballhandler is in animations where the ball is exposed you can use this video for reference.
@@khele2k yea it can get difficult sometimes and u definitely won't get the ball everytime. I don't and I'm a lockdown so just be patient with it and it'll work at least half the time.
People were asking me for tips on defense today. I told them I learned from your videos last year. I’ve been waiting on this one for this year! Let’s go. 😈
Give this one the reps and practice it needs once you get the timing of the stationary steal animation down you will be a menance even if you don’t get a steal you are in the way of them bumping and pressing
Sam Pham NBA 2K21 Tips and Tutorials Hey Sam! I think I figured it out. I’m still miss timing sometimes, but I’ve been getting more good results then bad ones. Thank you Sam! I’m gonna keep practicing this💪🏾😎
@ Sam Pham NBA 2k21 Tips and Tutorials Hey great video. Question, do you know what the yellow and red arrow like thing that lights up under players at times when you are guarding them. Happens to me often, but im not sure what it means. Does that mean thats the best time to go for a steal. . ?
Appreciate it. Most of the people making these videos are like man children or something putting so much useless filler in their videos I rarely even bother looking for tips
How do I turn on my “who to guard” on I have it on but in my career the arrow icon doesn’t show idk what to do and sometimes I don’t know who to guard and I lose my rating :( please help
I really need a tutorial on how to stop the corner difficult shot chest im a perm 🔐 ill stop the 3 but they dex behind screens and hit the difficult shot middy cheese
good info. played against a 98ovr team after watching this video and just a little practice, and got 8 tot team steals. a personal best for me so far. the LR/ RL is great to pop the ball loose when the other player is jammed up in a lane. the "walk into" the player and X (or square) works if you time it right. 70% of the time they ran past me. i have to practice at it.
How tf do I lock down paint??? Like if my oppoinent do a isolation and have every player go to the side what do I press to have my players run back to the paint to block quick or make him miss his layups like wtf do I press for ps4 smh 🤦🏾♂
Sam Pham NBA 2K21 Tips and Tutorials I guess I see what you mean but they really don’t give me a chance I’m like 10 feet away and they cross to the other direction maybe I’m just bad at it
Can you do off ball defense? I mainly play 5 v 5 proam and i'm a perimeter lock guarding off ball. Sometimes I find it hard to chase the shooter because my player is sliding or gets hit hard on screens.
I dunno if you’ll see this but do you know anyway to shoot with delay. I’ve been trying video method #7 in the rec but it doesn’t seem to work. Thanks Sam
So does holding the Left Trigger not increase your chance of getting a steal? I've done it with every 2K because I never actually knew the ideal method
Yo mate, how ya doin? Can you make a full explanation about all shooting boosts??? And how about the gap between they?? Whats the better option (for max boost)??? RS AIM + L2/LT? Shot Meter Off + L2/LT? Shot Meter Off RS Time + L2/LT? Square + L2/LT?
Yesss I love getting those steals when the guard brings it up!!! Easy fast break points that can frustrate your opponent very easily. It also works well in the half court for dudes that like to rim run and attack the baseline. It can be a bit risky at times cuz if you reach for the steal and don’t get it you have to scramble and rotate super fast to prevent a bucket lol but overall good method
I have a defensive settings tutorial that can help with that. I will release that video sometime next week ? Show me a clip of how you are doing it ? Send it to me @sampham20
Great for video games bball but so unrealistic and thats what's wrong with this game and passing attributes don't matter passing type don't matter "x" stop every passing type so spam trash when u can't pass to a open person on skip pass cuz x defends every pass type
Im super new to this game like i havent played a basketball videogame since NBA JAM on Sega and I just got this game yesterday but literally every time i try to steal the ball i get a foul called on me
In order to get steals in this you have to position your body then click steal. If body position isn’t correct spamming the button will never lead to a steal
love your work i consider my self a good defensder because of you do you have a discord i have a lot question and things to go over with you if you have any free time
Lol honestly 2k has had legacy issue with steals being unrealistic it’s no real skill when you can just spam let’s be honest people entire playstyle will be reach then throw full court passes turbo/baseline cheese
Patched. They cross the ball when you get close every time no matter the difficulty no matter the angle. Patched brother but thank you it’ll still work at times with certain guards tho
Stealing the ball is impossible. Every time you touch the ball it registers as a faul, doesn't matter if you touched the other player or not. Every block and steal always just give you faul. Why can't they just make it work automatically like in FIFA, it's works perfectly there.
You can’t run and swat steal in this game and I don’t see the option for it in the tutorial, that is a realistic feature that not in the game, I’m sorry but these mechanics this year are straight up garbage, this is the worse 2k basketball game
Sam fucking Pham who are you man?? I dont know any other channel where you can go from learning MH Rise to 2k on the same channel.. What a fucking legend
Really body on the ball cheese wish 2k would fix that bs and quit saying its skill gaps put steal on analog up down left right then skill comes into play
IDK why I even doubt you. I was literally stuck on the triple threat challenge for TWO DAYS cause I couldn't get a 3 steals. I see this video and got it on the FIRST TRY. Too Elite man, thank you.
It’s sad that you have to throw your body into the ball because 2k makes stealing absolutely useless
Just asked for this last night and got it today 🔒
Some of you know my thought processes very well lol
I'm not sure if they patched it, or if I just cant get it down, but the cpu PG always crosses over or protects the ball when i start running towards him :(

@@WaneMovin Glad this isn't patched I must be screwing it up because they keep protecting the ball on me too.

@@WaneMovin im literally dying on this gerald wallace challenge for tacko fall, its so fucking hard i have to get 11 steals in one game
@@WaneMovin i cant do this fucking bull shit
So excited to use this method. I'm a 2way at heart and love to learn certain ways to play excellent defense. More Please, Thank you Sam!
On ball defense mechanics tutorial for online play coming Sunday !

got 8 steals then fouled out smh. so hard getting to 11
So I don't want to be pressing the direction plus the ( x button since I'm on xbox) ? Is that why I keep getting fouls?
@ Sam Pham NBA 2k21 Tips and Tutorials
Hey great video. Question, do you know what the yellow and red arrow like thing that lights up under players at times when you are guarding them. Happens to me often, but im not sure what it means. Does that mean thats the best time to go for a steal. . ?
Does pressing x or moving the right stick down do the same thing for onball steal?
Appreciate it. Most of the people making these videos are like man children or something putting so much useless filler in their videos I rarely even bother looking for tips

I really need a tutorial on how to stop the corner difficult shot chest im a perm 🔐 ill stop the 3 but they dex behind screens and hit the difficult shot middy cheese
Could u also made one for off ball defense like cut the passing lane and defend off-ball movement like cut to basket or 3-pointer shooting
Dude u need way more subs 🔥🔥🔥

Those run up steals been in the game since 2k18.... especially 2k19, that shit was crazy that year!!!!
Bruh you’re a god I looked at this video and got what I needed in the first 2 mins
Excellent tutorial Sam. Thanks for the video
All I’m doing is giving up 3s to the warriors can you do a defensive guide on contesting Klay and curry they don’t miss
I will release a settings tutorial sometime next week on stopping threes
How do you turbo?
Should I upgrade steal rating ?
Is Pick Pocket Badge necessary with this technique??
Every time I run to the cpu they do a crossover or a spin, am I doing something wrong?
They don’t even let me get to close
You have to start off in a distance like me jog close then suddenly blitz at them at an angle or straight at the ball
Sam Pham NBA 2K21 Tips and Tutorials I guess I see what you mean but they really don’t give me a chance I’m like 10 feet away and they cross to the other direction maybe I’m just bad at it
Love the blitz - agree it’s higher effective, looking forward to the bump.
Can you do off ball defense? I mainly play 5 v 5 proam and i'm a perimeter lock guarding off ball. Sometimes I find it hard to chase the shooter because my player is sliding or gets hit hard on screens.
Yes that should be sometime this week alongside which are best defensive settings you want to do
I just started mycareer with 60 steal rating. Is it possible to achieve this?
Can someone tell me what turbo is pls
I dunno if you’ll see this but do you know anyway to shoot with delay. I’ve been trying video method #7 in the rec but it doesn’t seem to work. Thanks Sam
If your delay is really bad just go straight down and take out the up. It will save you time but go STRAIGHT DOWN hard + center as much as you can.
how do u normally just tackle?
So does holding the Left Trigger not increase your chance of getting a steal? I've done it with every 2K because I never actually knew the ideal method
Using a handler's forward momentum against him is best way to get a steal
Yo mate, how ya doin?
Can you make a full explanation about all shooting boosts???
And how about the gap between they??
Whats the better option (for max boost)???
RS AIM + L2/LT?
Shot Meter Off + L2/LT?
Shot Meter Off
RS Time + L2/LT?
Square + L2/LT?
What is your jumpshot
Can u make a tutorial how to no get stuck on picks? I have Hall of fame pick dodgers and they even make me get stuck on guard screens.
Sam can I get a rangey long shooter/slasher SF built with 70 handle from you pleeeeeease!!!!
Yesss I love getting those steals when the guard brings it up!!! Easy fast break points that can frustrate your opponent very easily.

Bro major help! Just leveled me up!

You can add handcam dualshock! This video great 👍🏽
They keep switching ball hands for me can u help😞

Love it bro 👊
Im super new to this game like i havent played a basketball videogame since NBA JAM on Sega and I just got this game yesterday but literally every time i try to steal the ball i get a foul called on me

Thank you so much it helped me alot man

Simply amazing, shout out to you and keep nailing it!
Good video! #BigGuido

R2
Patched. They cross the ball when you get close every time no matter the difficulty no matter the angle. Patched brother but thank you it’ll still work at times with certain guards tho
Thanks Sam I’m getting 4 steals a game
That fast huh lol ? Yes this body bump steal method is OP lol
THANKS SAM

Only video u need is a passing one in depth but probably want happen and thats the problem

I'm lost it just doesn't work
Yeah man I got pickpocket at HOF 96 steal and I can’t fucking steal they dribble everytime
Definitely need a video on the offensive counter to this.
I have one lol will post that around Monday I think
Stealing the ball is impossible.
Every time you touch the ball it registers as a faul, doesn't matter if you touched the other player or not. Every block and steal always just give you faul.
Why can't they just make it work automatically like in FIFA, it's works perfectly there.
Obviously not true considering people steal all the time, youve just got to learn the timing its hard.
You're on fire early on the game. Can you please find a way To shoot consistently with the button ?
Sure give me another week or two with that I am now moving towards defense and playbooks
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial Thanks a lot
Lol 5:54 I know the feeling
everytime i steal the ball its a foul idk why this game sucks
You can’t run and swat steal in this game and I don’t see the option for it in the tutorial, that is a realistic feature that not in the game, I’m sorry but these mechanics this year are straight up garbage, this is the worse 2k basketball game
Best Freelance to run Sam!!!?
I will make that sometime next week or Sunday lol one man army here 😂😂
Sam Pham NBA 2K21 Tips and Tutorials

Ball always goes through my body
And my dude reaches with the wrong hand sometimes too
This is cap it doesn’t work they just keep changing hands
That's not Hall of Fame the AI is acting too dumb it sounds good
Really body on the ball cheese wish 2k would fix that bs and quit saying its skill gaps put steal on analog up down left right then skill comes into play
Drop a jumpshot video please the streets need it
