    "This game allows for great on Ball D " ??? I'm def missing something .. the player movement in this game is sooo trash, they're literally 5 steps slow, cant turn or cut, or recover.. its just terrible off ball defensive movement

      Agreed I stayed away from 2k since 2k17 I only had 2k20 for 1 it's still garbage. Good ball control tho

      DJ R no disrespect but your just not good at it and reacting if you see his other videos on ball you can lock up anyone.. look at the professional leagues nobody does crossovers because they get ripped!! Trust bro you don’t know what your talking about

      George Gutierrez look at how many of those online players are 2 Way archetypes. The game overall is trash. I’ve played it daily. It’s terrible. I love 2K because it’s the only basketball game that’s actually decent but online is just terrible. Which is why i stick to Mycareer games or MyLeague

      Randy Marsh hard to be trash at a bad game lmfaooo. Too many animations that help people who can’t play defense. They Needa go back to 2016. That was their best 2K

  • @Verraad81

    Sam - Should we ever touch the Defensive Adjustments available to us on the fly. Like "No Threes" "Stay at Home" "Straight Up" and "Crash Boards" "Run in Transition" "Play Physical" etc? My understanding of these are that they effectively alter the defensive settings you have suggested causing the defensive system to fall apart. Is this true? do they have any effect at all? If they do, could we get a video explaining when to use these?

    • @SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial
      @SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      They aren’t as reliable as what I have developed for you here. Those settings kinda makes the AI adjust what you got. Very risky if you ask me

    • @Verraad81
      @Verraad81 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great, thank you for the response. So just to confirm, even things such as Crash the Boards or playing Physical should be left alone? It's a shame 2k doesn't do a better job explaining this stuff so, I and many others appreciate the work you do here. I'm getting roasted online by PG's driving baseline and now I'm certain it's because I have it set to No Threes.

    For the Center “Stay Attach” do you also have to assign who he’s guarding? Or do you keep it on Auto? Thanks.

    • @SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial
      @SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Stay attach applies to who’s being guarded. In this case doesn’t matter who guards stoudmire, anyone who guards him will be “stayed attach” to him

  • @Ty33Budd

  • @GregS-1981
    @GregS-1981 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've found stay attached helps more with pick n fades. With stay attached on when u defend a guy like Dirk who can flat out shoot, the hedge man will stay with him if he fades. With stay attached you do become vulnerable to PnR rim runs from guys like Shaq Deandre Jordan Kevin Garnett or even Amare. I use catch hedge if the center Im guarding isnt a threat to shoot. If they are aPick n pop threat I use catch hedge also but stay attached on.

    • @SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial
      @SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I agree. When I see a roller I simply use stay attach as a way to put by AI hedge defender at a good position to defend all slips. Once I know is a real PnR I manually control the hedge. Stay attach is best on C because it works to defending everything on its own Fade and slips. The only thing it doesn’t defend well is the drive pull up three but I can manually hedge for that

    @Dr.HowieFeltersnatch 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    Blowbys and screens are way too overpowered in this game.
    A good player who understands this can use fast point guards to exploit any defense in this game, including this one.
    Ja Morant, deaaron fox, derrick rose, james harden, dame lillard, john wall.
    All these pgs I listed are literally impossible to stay in front of without fouling or giving up the roll man.
    Switch defense or catch hedge it doesn’t matter.
    Go back to 2k19 defense and fix the damn game.

    • @LinkyLink1
      @LinkyLink1 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree i have a team mate who refuses to switch when screens happen just fights through screen and gets pooped on but expects me to just let the pg get an open shot and me grab boards so i say play side he says it dosent matter if he drop 19 its fine 🤔🤔🤔 when we play sides we start to put up a fight then falls apart because of hard headedness

      Doesn’t really matter man. Either way the defense is underpowered.
      If it were you, I would try my best to catch hedge or maybe even soft hedge the ball handler.
      Never let someone get open layups. Let their big man or shooters beat you.
      And stay consistent to your gameplan. Don’t change it up if you start losing because then you will only lose by more.
      Since it park though, switching probably is the way to go if we are being honest.
