Sam Pham! Great vid! I can't seem to get the shot timing down! Is there a tip to green lighting each shot? With all the different my team players, are you just remembering each players release? Also layups! How many bunnies am I going to miss before I get these damn layups down!! Are you using square or right stick for layups? My post play is horrible due to the fact that I'll blow a layup unguarded! Any help is appreciated! : )
+yaniv shcwartz yes if you see 5 out don't even hesitate off ball with your C right away. You really don't have another effective option you gotta play help and contest the three with your C.
Sam are all your materials just for franchise mode. I.e. settings. Or can we incoporate them into my career? Specifaclly your defensive settings when turning the adaptive coaching off.
Hey Sam, two questions if you dont mind answering: 1) Is there any other playbook that has those plays? I can't find the modern day 76'ers one of the Auction House, only the 2001 and, 1977 Playbooks. 2) What do I have to hold/press to take control of the screener in the PnR? I have the same settings as you (Skip Pass - Disabled, Icon passing - Full receiver control, and Receiver control - Handoff/pitch pass) Thanks! I really love the videos!
+LeetGoose 2) tap R1 hold player icon to control 1) give me a sec I have a document a sub sent me that let's me know where all the plays are but I am not home right now lol
Show these plays in television camera view, the view you watch it on when you watch a game. I wanna see if those same passes happen the same way they do in this run n gun view
I am a 40+ year old Man from Sweden, living and running my own Yacht Business in Thailand (Koh Samui) I actually just photographed the settings to my phone so i have them with me wherever i go (will probably pick it up and remember it after the 2nd time) its a "www." life..... Some things they should fix for 19 online/offline play 1: Let us Create our own "Playboook" and SAVE it like "Madden Football" 2: Let us change the defensive settings during "game loading" so we dont have to pause right away in game. 3: to many things i wanna improve and add :)
Yo sam i got a friend that expliots the puck n roll until he gets my pg stuck in an animation no matter what i do with Ricky Rubio he's able to go left n right until my guy does his own thing can't recover. What video do you have for a defense to destroy this its his only weapon and its pissin me off because ill be up by like 10 then he starts
I do this to people sometimes.. especially if they're playing off ball.. you call a p and r, fake right, then cut back left or vice versa. 90% of the time the defender will get caught by the screen and if you cut it right at that moment it causes all sorts of problems for them. But it's not really an exploit cuz that is what LeBron has made a career out of lol
Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial I’ve only lost twice with GSW, no offense Sam I don’t think your Bucks can beat my warriors, GSW is the best team in the game. I watch all your videos lots of respect👍👍👍👍
sure send me your PSN i will add you. Give me a week or two tho i gotta finish all these tutorials and no way i am playing a serious match against a sub with that settings glitch on lol
Someone please help me I pull up the quick menu with the d pad and set it to no threes, but my fucking guys still try to help out when someone even gets remotely close to the paint, which I don't need help for because I generally user my paint defenders, and they come to try to help out and leave their man WIDE OPEN for the three, it's so frustrating. I'm not interested in the extensive defensive settings because I usually play friends in my living room with me and if I do that they'll just see every setting i'm using. And they usually just cheese on the 3s to beat me. Can anyone please help?? I usually play with the bad boy pistons so I'm sure I've got the personnel to improve this awful defense
What if they five out cheese and everyone can shoot so you can't help off anyone and they have a big pg like penny which is almost impossible to guard because he's super fast can speed boost shoot and dunk on anyone. And I'm talking about my team off balling the center does work on play now
+Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial and you can set Penny on ball D to moderate to help the CPU drive. Overall MyTeam super max stupid, is on pro difficulty .... 2K don't want competitive balance there lol
+Bobby Kozakow oh absolutely. This is a wayyyyyyyy better game. However it came with a very serious settings glitch this year .... that has got to get patched
Best offensive strategy in the game is pick warroirs and put kd, draymond, klay, curry, and nick young in and just call a screen with curry and drive and kick since everybody is a shooter that strategy is too overpowered I get people quitting in first quarter cause of that
correct thats one strategy you could rely on. So you play out of that and select 2-3 more strategies i teach and your gsw squad would be very hard to stop.
I just rebound aggressively if people try that. Stick with my lineup, keep my center and stretch 4 in. You can even go big and stretch out on shooters, out rebound them and haven't lost yet
GEzeTv True that! A lot of ppl are not skilled enough to learn to play on ball defense! And will using GS only LOL these guys are jokes. I find it hilarious when playing ppl(which is the majority) who can’t play defense. I always send them messages after I beat them saying they suck at defense and they’re all sensitive 😂😂😂
I would just your ass. I the. 5 out with LeBron and frye as my center. If you come in with the center I know how to get greens with frye from deep. And If you on ball me I would just dunk every time. I'm 81-10 online
Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial I'm deployed right now 4 of my losses were cause internet and the other 6 were me trying to figure out the game in the beginning. Trust me against a tremendous player 5 out is unstoppable. You close out with your center and if they put a center that can shoot it's deadly. If you play on ball I can hit green mid range with LeBron or just dunk on you
"I would just your ass"... the fuck? If you are gonna show virtual superiority on a public forum, do not make yourself look like a fucking moron when you do...
Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial ... FUCKING THANK YOU !!!!! Damn bro. I been searching that shit & nothing. I dont think its good defense either but i ranked up in my play now online mode & the dudes i play, all they dude is double team me. So i have to adjust to it now & defeat them with their own game. I was holding L1 only & nothin would happen but ima try it now the way u told me.

Keep the quality content coming my man. It's appricated.
Great vid. How do you defend 5 out when they have all shooters on the floor?
+SlimMamba show you with more clips Saturday :)
Straight fire, Sam Pham. Thank you my friend!

Thank you Sam this video is pure gold !
I upgraded my game so Mach on the offensive end,
And Finally a solution to the 5-out cheese
+yaniv shcwartz yes if you see 5 out don't even hesitate off ball with your C right away. You really don't have another effective option you gotta play help and contest the three with your C.
WHAT IF U PLAYING AGN MARC GASOL FOR 5 OUT ..HE JUST SITS IN CORNER WAITING FOR YOU TOO HELP SO THEY CAN THROW IT BACK TO HIM FOR THE 3 LOL
Get a longer quicker centre. Think AD or Thon
I needed this. Thanks Sam! I was getting smoked in some games yesterday.. lol
Sam are all your materials just for franchise mode. I.e. settings. Or can we incoporate them into my career? Specifaclly your defensive settings when turning the adaptive coaching off.
Sam Pham, what offense would you recommend for a dominant big man like Shaq?
What's the best defensive settings for a small ball team who gets killed on the low post? Also what are best defensive settings for the celtics

Hey did you get a chance to see if any other playbook has these plays? I still dont have the 76'ers modern day one. Thanks
Thanks Sam can you do some money plays out of the Houston rockets playbook
Sam Pham.....do you recommend any of the zone defenses?
Thank you for creating this content. Im checking it out now!
+Dough Haitian no problem :)
I love when Sam Pham dismantles the Warriors with the Bucks of the world.
Having trouble with running the slip. On Xbox bring up pass icons then press and hold the icon you're passing to controlling with stick?
Thanks again Pham! You are great!
Can you do a defense tutorial on stoping driving layups & dunks ?
Show these plays in television camera view, the view you watch it on when you watch a game. I wanna see if those same passes happen the same way they do in this run n gun view
People need to learn how to break down names
Della-Vedova
Anteto-Koumpo
Sam-Pham

OnceYouPop YouCantStop True.
I am a 40+ year old Man from Sweden, living and running my own Yacht Business in Thailand (Koh Samui)
I actually just photographed the settings to my phone so i have them with me wherever i go (will probably pick it up and remember it after the 2nd time) its a "www." life.....
Some things they should fix for 19 online/offline play
1: Let us Create our own "Playboook" and SAVE it like "Madden Football"
2: Let us change the defensive settings during "game loading" so we dont have to pause right away in game.
3: to many things i wanna improve and add :)
+OnceYouPop YouCantStop yes they need to let us change settings while game loads
Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial ..do you have any sets or plays to run vs zone defenses?
Great video tell the Devs to let us edit our roster for online games
Love your vids
I appreciate the defense but can we get more freelance
Yo sam i got a friend that expliots the puck n roll until he gets my pg stuck in an animation no matter what i do with Ricky Rubio he's able to go left n right until my guy does his own thing can't recover. What video do you have for a defense to destroy this its his only weapon and its pissin me off because ill be up by like 10 then he starts
show me a clip of this. even like a boot legged phone clip will do, once i see it i will know how to stop it. send it to my twitter: @sampham20

Who is best team to use in play now
Great video. But I just wanted to say that these are below average opponents, when you get to greatest of all time, these won’t cut it.
+Peng G I will show you they work just fine when I get there lol I spar with GOAT players all the time.
Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial I’ve only lost twice with GSW, no offense Sam I don’t think your Bucks can beat my warriors, GSW is the best team in the game. I watch all your videos lots of respect👍👍👍👍
Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial I would love to run a game with you off the record if you are ok with it.
I will never use GSW lol that's just a dirty move lol feels silly to do so
sure send me your PSN i will add you. Give me a week or two tho i gotta finish all these tutorials and no way i am playing a serious match against a sub with that settings glitch on lol
What is considered to be a good win percentage in play now
90% ? but doesn't really matter, key is to focus on how your execution is at both ends
i just got my 2k18 a week ago. imma try these settings. evryone uses gsw nowadays. hope this works

How are you not gonna guard someone? PLAY DEFENSE
On my 2k it won’t let me do 5 out anymore. It’ll say 5 out but it’ll be 4 out. How do I get it to do 5 out again ?
+J Bibbs you can't. Is actually not that good, watch my warriors Freelance tutorial. Is better than 5 out
I got new defense that I do it suffocated the opponent
D millz money what is it
Anyway.....hey do u have any settings to shut down bigs with the likes of Shaq
Dominique Edwards had the same problem with Shaq online. My main strategy: put him on the foul line lol
Double him on dig
MGM_TV lmaooo truuu
Stephon Clinkscales imma try tht

+CHIraqMVP1 you need to get an elite on ball defender with badges and use AD as C. Strategy is the same you just need even better defenders yourself
+Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial and you can set Penny on ball D to moderate to help the CPU drive. Overall MyTeam super max stupid, is on pro difficulty .... 2K don't want competitive balance there lol
You enjoying the game better then last year?

No 2k legit gets worse every year
Sam Pham NBA 2K18 Tips and Tutorial you smoking lamo
What happens when your opponent runs 5 out with a 3 point shooter at the C?
Thats coming on sunday. Tmr we start focusing out 5 out defense tutorials :)

Anyone can use the Warriors and win with them! Your not good if you only use the Warriors and don’t play on ball defense SMH Lmfao!!!
i hate guys that on play with the warriors just taking the easy way... blah! that fucking game is already set up when you play with the warriors.
Fuck all this. Just give Giannis Antetokoumpo the ball and call baseline iso guarantee either posterizer, layup, or foul
+Huey Freeman not if other player plays off ball C defense to help in paint
Letting the CPU guard and you control a different player is not good defense haha. Straight up defense is good defense
GEzeTv True that! A lot of ppl are not skilled enough to learn to play on ball defense! And will using GS only LOL these guys are jokes. I find it hilarious when playing ppl(which is the majority) who can’t play defense. I always send them messages after I beat them saying they suck at defense and they’re all sensitive 😂😂😂
Rich G I just switch to my cpu to help out because they always leave them
why dont you play pro-am and win some tournie money?
+Thapelo no time to grind a character lol but when they come out with avatars I will try out for the combine in February :)
