+Eric welcome to my channel :) I suggest go check out all my playlists and find what you like to adapt to. Take your time with them, I have A LOT of tutorials lol
Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 I've been checking out a lot of different stuff you've got. I watched all the suns playbook videos, and currently using it online. Seems to work great! Appreciate the time you put in.
Hey Sam Pham, second time commenting, I told you that I'm brand new at 2k16, and ever since going over your videos such as triangle offense and contesting shots, I am now 11-1 in 2k16 Play Now mode (1st lost 1st game ever online) As I've said before, your videos are of excellent quality, great explanations, easy to understand, and it's still astonishing how greatly developed you are with this game. I'm looking forward to 2k17 just to see your videos! Thanks.
+Michael Tompkins thanks man I appreciate that. Glad to hear you are developing your own winning style with my fundamental tips. I am looking towards 2k17 videos too haha
This is the first vid I watch from you and I love your videos why do you have only 53k subs you really deserve more and you helped me become better in this game keep up the good work!!
Finally. I was so frustrated when game doesn't allow me to play the way I want to play. I turn off all assists on defense, but this has been only thing that frustrated me a lot.
thanks Sam your videos are to good I've honestly been watching your videos for to long. games are getting boring barely get to play a full game now lol
Ive found that most players get 90% of their halfcourt offense from overaggressive help defenders leaving shooters wide open. and the help defense is almost useless, they seldom much help if u get caught up on the screen. Im used to playing in sim leagues and play on ball defense except occasionally switching to rotate. I tweeted Scott OG about this issuse with overaggressive help defense before and probably should tweet him again about toning down the help defense or having a setting to control how much help and where it's coming from.
Sam how do I cover people who constantly run pick&fade with stretch 4s like K Love and Frye My players always end up basically double teaming the ball handler and leaving the stretch 4 wide open for a three
I have found that even with deny they still help occasionally. If u play vs GSW with the amount of shooters they have it can get messy. I set deny on Curry and Klay and tight on Barnes and Draymond the defender still leaves Klay open far too often even when I completely shut down the P'n'R
Brilliant video again, Sam. What you do is probably the best you can get out of the D in this game. I don't agree with your assessment though that most of it is the players' fault. If real D. Green would rotate like in the scene from the beginning of the vid, Pop would bench him for life! ;) One thing that really bugs me and no one seems to be able to explain is the option "Pre-Rotate" in the defensive settings. Do you know what that does and if there's any way to use it properly in the game? Thanks for all your great stuff, it's really fun and helpful!
+Mick Tunnel I agree with pop killing Danny on that lol I guess what I meant was (2k mistakes guarantee to happen so as a player you might as well accept that reality and put the onus on yourself to stop that crap). I have been labbing the pre rotate a lot and to this day it is still very inconsistent with any combination of settings I try to combine it with :(
No worries, maybe that option just doesn't work. Nobody seems to know what it really does. :) You are right in that way. We as players have the responsibility to stop the AI doing crap on D. With that all your recommendations are very useful, thank you!
what are the def settings you put for the players like Tight/Deny what are those for am lost on that part really esp online with ppl playing players out of postion
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 yeah I noticed that it was human player so you practice your settings against the computer first then go again to human player
Sam Pham When I put deny D on my wing guys, they always seem to get beat on a quick cut to the basket and the CPU always get an easy pass and bucket...any ideas to stop this as well?
+Brandon Skiver that's a give and take situation. That's why I said you can't deny too many players. If you worry about those cuts it makes sense to go off ball as C a bit to deter them from happening :)
Sam we are a couple of a months away from 2k17 with that said how do you go about preparing yourself from 2k16 to 2k17? what's the first thing you look for playbooks? or tactics?
Aren't you committing to the pnr side with your pg a bit too much? The opp can choose to penetrate the other side and you'll be toast. Also does this work if the opp chooses the pnr with the sg or sf. Seems like your defensive settings are catered to a pnr with a pg
Every time I score my opponent scores with turbo and l sprint back with my center like u said another thing is the drive to whole n all my did was up fake n paint all game my players responded with a weird animation help
hey sam pham im a huge fan & i think i mightve stumbled across the most vicious katana attack in the suns playbook (quick 25 something lol)i know you're on Hawks money plays but if u find the time could u elaborate more on this play for subs. in your words its nasty phamily
sam i can not seem to find the beginners playlist sam and i'm always confused i know i can be good at 2k like you but it's so hard because i lose focus and my defense never acts the way i wish it did i would love to play with you online for xbox 1 and really learn the way you think.. would you be willing to do that?
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 I respek the shit out of your basketball IQ! How did you learn so much dude I like actually admire your game play skills haha
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 also my personal Emiail is Cameron.salehpour@gmail.com. Would you like to possibly skype me to teach me some things one on one like a tutor? Haha
I'm thinking if I should slow my offense down or intentional foul to stop the fast break cheese idk what to do some times. Transition cheese from half court is ridiculous.
sam pham your da man. i started my record over n im was 21-1 with the pelicans. now im 41-15. ima use this now because my user kind of bad n i do deny all shooter at times. but great tips man.
Hi Sam. As always, beatiful staff, "Sam Pham Style" : you keep simple the most difficult things. Congratulations. I would like to know your opinion (and, by the way, the rest of people here, supossed to be "sim style players") about unrestricted seeds of my team rttp. The combination of experienced users who control almost every cheap trick of the game + teams full of amethyst and diamonds players who can make almost every contested shot make the perfect storm unless for me. Even using all your tactics (and triying to be creative with some of mine), look like near impossible to win consistently using "sim basketball". Do you consider that a "normal sim user" (not talking of someone like you, obviously, but a human.. lol) can make his way at this level or it's, directly, a waste of time?.
+Javier Gomez all golds no way. You really have to built a smart team for yourself and be really organized. You need to find a system on offense and defense then built the perfect team for it. You have to understand the synergy between badges, player lengths, and playbook. Versatile defensive scheme is also everything. A lot of my subs have sent me pics of themselves going 10-0 on RTTP seed 1 with gold + purple teams, so is possible. You really have to gameplan tho and stay versatile on both ends of the court. You gotta understand how your team plays together on defense, that's key. Show me your lineup ??
Yeah, probably my defense still has to improve. My brain understand the concepts, but doesnt communicate with my fingers fast enough. I'm getting old, lol.... This is my lineup : 2kmtcentral.com/16/lineups/94166/playoff-no-limits Any sugerence is welcomed, thanks!

Hey sam, so I run pace motion out of Phoenix and the plays I use are fist 19 and quick 32 cnr 4. I have 92 Ray Allen and I was wondering if there are any other good plays to get three point jumpshots out of Phoenix. Thanks
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 I do that but they get the most retarded lay up and makes it, the computer defense is to slow and the driver gets ahead and get to the paint but if I do have a center "diamond reward Kareem" they kick it out and most of the time just keep doing they until they find a 3 or a stupid fuel/layup
Hey Sam this is waay off topic, but I watched some of your videos and I realized that you have the same smile as Connor McDavid. Maybe it's just me being blind tho :)
Sam Pham I'm still having trouble with the transition badly. Which is leading to trailing or lead passed 3s if I use my center. 😕 They're passing the ball in damn near by half court. My team never gets back.
Everything I try and defend I press a button which shows up on top of the player and this black box pops up saying ways to defend. Can you help cuz I'm really lost right now :/
THANK YOU. I just lost a game because of this bullshit. I would shut down the pnr but because i want playing tight on everyone (because i hate giving up back cuts) my defense would still break and i would give like 4 or 5 open shots in a row and half would be 3s n i use to so frustrated but it was my settings n poes not my stick skill. Now i can finally shut down this bs and get back to winning
hey Sam, I'm in a huge slump. started 30-4 and now I'm 51-18.. I notice whenever the ball handler drives in the middle w/o a PNR my defender will leave the corner guy open.. how do I fix this
+Raekwon Rose you must deny penetration. Like I demonstrated in the vid, help defense will come if you allow ball or man penetration or BOTH. Use my settings and POE will help. But you can allow easy ball penetration especially 1 v 1 situations.
Idk why my dudes don't stay home or help and go back like yours do, and is these settings just for man?? cause my dudes just don't listen on the court lol
I may only be 1 minute in, but you say D.Green overcommitted on the help d because Parker messed up the PnR. I can have a perfectly fine defensive PnR play with BOTH wing defenders helping out.
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 what would happen if you put tight on SG and PF and deny in SF. Wouldn't that be the same as tight SG deny SF and auto PF?
idc what anyone says 2k sucks. when you're playing the game you're playing against the enemy and your own teammate... why everytime I try to set a pick the teammate will flip the pick to the other as I'm getting ready to go around the pick or they won't even make contact and act like I never called for the pick?

+Louie Ma no help defense is troublesome when you face a user who is really good at running PnRs. You could go all deny yes, but then your gotta make sure your PNR defense is on point
+Ron play xbox 1 Ron play xbox 1 hey :) I am going to need a bit more details from you. On a personal level that game plays somewhat the same to me on defense since patch 6 hmmm what are you experiencing and what mode ?
just wanted to say that i really tried hard to follow your tips and tuttorials, but it was IMPOSIBLE, its like you are talking to me in russian, and the worst of all, is that every single video that i watch you say that i need to watch the previous video, and so on and so on, so just to learn when to steel, and defend video you sent me back to almost 100 videos, NO EXAGERATION at all, i got lost, and in every single video what you do is just show how good are you, and how your subscribers messed up against your plays, it is my first 2k game, im really enjoying it, even though i suck at it, but your channel name should be tips and tutorials for PRO players (online only), i just wanted to learn how to pnr against the computer, ofcourse online works fine, but against the pc DAMN! its easier to score from my side of the court, so trust me, im not a hater or anything like that, i really appreciate what you do and it takes a lot to upload videos to youtube, im just saying that if you are so good at playing, you should have a lot to teach and im pretty sure your subs can go incredibly up if you find a way to explain things well, if what you are looking for is just to be happy with 60k subs or so, its ok, i cant judge you for that, but as im telling you, im not a pro player, its my first 2k and i do not get a single thing of what you are trying to explaint, i have learned more from a youtuber called C...S... (dont want to spam your channel) and he doesnt even have tutorials or tips! just by watching him play!, so i hope you dont take this as a hate msg or something like that, i just wanted to say this as a constructive criticism, thank you for trying to help the 2k community, and good luck with your channel bro!
+Oscar Morales First of all let me say that I appreciate your comment very much. Many of my tutorials are extremely advance I agree, you have to understand the timeline of which I made these was relative to the original 2k16 release date; that means if you watch anything recent you would be 9 months behind almost. I had this worry in mind recently because I know a large influx of brand new players came in. To combat against this and make it easier for new players I made a beginner's guide playlist on my channel page. Have you seen that playlist ? If you watch those 20 videos in order it should have helped you a bit. Did you get a chance to see it ?
well actually i did look for a begginers tutorial, but i could find the play list, i also checked your uploaded videos and it was a little hard for me to find the begginers, i am aware that im kinda late on the game, my experience with the 2k series started with the 2k13 which i returned after 2 days of playing it, i like basket ball though im not a fan or an expert on it, so i took the game as a learning experience, but damn that was difficult to understand lol, since that i havent played any of the 2k games, until this one, since sony gave it away with ps plus, so i said why not, lets give it a try, i started playing cavs vs warriors, and it was soooo frustrating lost all of the games, but for a reason i really enjoyed the games, i have some technical knowledge on the sport but not on the leage, so i tried all the things that i knew and some of them worked, so i started looking for tutorials online and actually lots of people recomend your channel, which is a really good channel, so, i havent found your begginers tutorials, but one thing is for sure, i will be getting the 2k17 and hopefully i will get better (it is really great that you take care of your channel, those are the things that matter)
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 Hey Pham, great video! anything extra I need to do when I use the Lakers when using this defensive settings. You know they are not the greatest on D. SMDH. LOL
Hey, Sam Pham I love watching your videos. You inspired me to make my own youtube video about how to play amazing defense. I worked on my video for 2 months, and if you have the time may you please check it out lol. Thank you sir.

Great video Sam my defense has been trash lately and I think this will help!😃
Im gonna try to get a handle on the pre rotate option and see what exactly is going on when u select pre rotate.
+Greg Smith I still can't get that to work consistently :(
Sam how do I cover people who constantly run pick&fade with stretch 4s like K Love and Frye
My players always end up basically double teaming the ball handler and leaving the stretch 4 wide open for a three
+Young Kell switch off ball to the big that's suppose to guard the stretch 4. Go off ball defense during the fade
I have found that even with deny they still help occasionally. If u play vs GSW with the amount of shooters they have it can get messy. I set deny on Curry and Klay and tight on Barnes and Draymond the defender still leaves Klay open far too often even when I completely shut down the P'n'R
+Greg Smith if you sit down he PnR and don't allow ball or roll man to beat free throw line extended the defense should hold :)

Thank you!! This all I needed to know
question have you play the computer with your new settings because I know it's different when playing a human player

i would love to play with you online for xbox 1 and really learn the way you think.. would you be willing to do that?
Sorry man i only got a ps4 :( Beginner's playlist is at the front of my main channel page :)

add me on twitter @sampham20, i can hook you up with playing against some of my favourite students on xbox :)
How do you use that move where you're in the post up position and then you spin out if it with your point guard?
+Stephen Parker Jr. Go to my post move tutorial and adapt that to your PG :)
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 ok, thanks!
I'm thinking if I should slow my offense down or intentional foul to stop the fast break cheese idk what to do some times. Transition cheese from half court is ridiculous.
believe it or not you coach ratings plays a part the players fundamentals like rotating on d and extc
sam pham your da man. i started my record over n im was 21-1 with the pelicans. now im 41-15. ima use this now because my user kind of bad n i do deny all shooter at times. but great tips man.
Can you tell me how to activate the indicator, which player your opponent is controlling on defense?
what are the best settings to protect yourself from back door cuts?
Yo Sam what and when will your next video be?
+Imran Sran tmr morning ? But that's a draft video. Money play Monday or Tuesday :)
I got a question why everytime in my career I touch the ball they do auto quick iso how can I turn it off
+NorfsiderCMD go to options can turn auto plays off :)
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 thanks bro salute
Yo sam, do you also have delays or lagging in online play? :)
+omar sitchon HELL YES. Real bad too sometimes :(
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 Yeah it's too bad sometimes. I hope they take it away on 2k17. Lol! No more lag no more lag :)
Is there a way to force cpu to switch to get a mismatche
+jwalking2324 pick and fades is a good strategy to force switches
Sam,
What do you do on pin downs, are you switching in anticipation of the pass going to the free player?
Also what do you think of off ball switching vs great shooting teams, not ideal match ups, but prevents quick 3s
Hi Sam. As always, beatiful staff, "Sam Pham Style" : you keep simple the most difficult things. Congratulations.

what about defending off ball screens from plays like floppy, fist motion, hawk etc
Hey sam, so I run pace motion out of Phoenix and the plays I use are fist 19 and quick 32 cnr 4. I have 92 Ray Allen and I was wondering if there are any other good plays to get three point jumpshots out of Phoenix. Thanks
quick 93 is pretty good
+Arty Sanchez thx bro
+Arty Sanchez u sure it's in the Phx playbook?
Sam for me both the guard and big follow the bh and the big is wide open
How do u defend a player that keeps doing isos with someone like curry or something?
just defend it by going off ball as the centre to protect paint :)
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 I do that but they get the most retarded lay up and makes it, the computer defense is to slow and the driver gets ahead and get to the paint but if I do have a center "diamond reward Kareem" they kick it out and most of the time just keep doing they until they find a 3 or a stupid fuel/layup

Ye me too
thanks for responding sam...u da man Sam pham
@Sam Pham what about pick&fade defense? Kevin Love killed me
Everything I try and defend I press a button which shows up on top of the player and this black box pops up saying ways to defend. Can you help cuz I'm really lost right now :/
+Charles Smith go to my defense playlist and watch the oldest video and work your way up. So watch my defense playlist backwards :)
THANK YOU. I just lost a game because of this bullshit. I would shut down the pnr but because i want playing tight on everyone (because i hate giving up back cuts) my defense would still break and i would give like 4 or 5 open shots in a row and half would be 3s n i use to so frustrated but it was my settings n poes not my stick skill. Now i can finally shut down this bs and get back to winning

Great Video!!!!
Do you put auto for the C and PG also
It depends on who you're up against
When will we get the other money plays out of the Hawks playbook?
+kb1515ful one more at least coming for this week :)
Can someone tell me how to do smoke breakers and passes like that I'm New to THE game so dont rlly know and how can i make a beast my player?
When you use tight SG deny SF and auto PF why doesn't the PF still come to help like before since he is still on auto??
All players on deny will get no help.
Does anyone know what settings should I use to make the players switch the pick and roll?
how do i keep the whole teams from crash board and leaving the perimeter shooters wide out everytime
Hey Pham, can I get a Knicks playbook? I would appreciate it.
I may only be 1 minute in, but you say D.Green overcommitted on the help d because Parker messed up the PnR.
I can have a perfectly fine defensive PnR play with BOTH wing defenders helping out.
You on ps4 right? i need some help too man
My approach is to use perimetet defense and control my centre off ball to defend
amazing if you got any more juicey stuff post it please sam pham is the greatest
So where ever the more loose you're playing your off ball pressure will be your help man?
+PERFECTION if they are not on deny they will be help man. The lower the pressure the more the help
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 what would happen if you put tight on SG and PF and deny in SF. Wouldn't that be the same as tight SG deny SF and auto PF?
idc what anyone says 2k sucks. when you're playing the game you're playing against the enemy and your own teammate... why everytime I try to set a pick the teammate will flip the pick to the other as I'm getting ready to go around the pick or they won't even make contact and act like I never called for the pick?
Pause it at exactly 4:45 and look at the stats
yup 2K glitch where they show a player with team stats lol happens online here and there

Why not deny all 3 point shooters?
+Louie Ma no help defense is troublesome when you face a user who is really good at running PnRs. You could go all deny yes, but then your gotta make sure your PNR defense is on point
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 ok, I'll try a little bit myself. Thx so much, your videos are amazing!😁

Can u give me the defense on beating the cavs for there first five players
Deny on PG?
Thanks Sam
One problem with these settings is that these settings probably only apply to basic middle p&r.
+LoneWolfOfTHeSky not true but it will definitely shutdown basic middle PnRs.
middle pnr manipulation, open 3s & katana all in one
watz good pham
hungry for Game 6 of NBA finals lol
Me too
Why is this in 360p
remember guys the best defense is poe : NETURAL Focus + physical defense :p
+luckyrelic lol oops you know what I meant haha
just wanted to say that i really tried hard to follow your tips and tuttorials, but it was IMPOSIBLE, its like you are talking to me in russian, and the worst of all, is that every single video that i watch you say that i need to watch the previous video, and so on and so on, so just to learn when to steel, and defend video you sent me back to almost 100 videos, NO EXAGERATION at all, i got lost, and in every single video what you do is just show how good are you, and how your subscribers messed up against your plays, it is my first 2k game, im really enjoying it, even though i suck at it, but your channel name should be tips and tutorials for PRO players (online only), i just wanted to learn how to pnr against the computer, ofcourse online works fine, but against the pc DAMN! its easier to score from my side of the court, so trust me, im not a hater or anything like that, i really appreciate what you do and it takes a lot to upload videos to youtube, im just saying that if you are so good at playing, you should have a lot to teach and im pretty sure your subs can go incredibly up if you find a way to explain things well, if what you are looking for is just to be happy with 60k subs or so, its ok, i cant judge you for that, but as im telling you, im not a pro player, its my first 2k and i do not get a single thing of what you are trying to explaint, i have learned more from a youtuber called C...S... (dont want to spam your channel) and he doesnt even have tutorials or tips! just by watching him play!, so i hope you dont take this as a hate msg or something like that, i just wanted to say this as a constructive criticism, thank you for trying to help the 2k community, and good luck with your channel bro!
+Oscar Morales First of all let me say that I appreciate your comment very much. Many of my tutorials are extremely advance I agree, you have to understand the timeline of which I made these was relative to the original 2k16 release date; that means if you watch anything recent you would be 9 months behind almost.
I had this worry in mind recently because I know a large influx of brand new players came in. To combat against this and make it easier for new players I made a beginner's guide playlist on my channel page. Have you seen that playlist ? If you watch those 20 videos in order it should have helped you a bit. Did you get a chance to see it ?
well actually i did look for a begginers tutorial, but i could find the play list, i also checked your uploaded videos and it was a little hard for me to find the begginers, i am aware that im kinda late on the game, my experience with the 2k series started with the 2k13 which i returned after 2 days of playing it, i like basket ball though im not a fan or an expert on it, so i took the game as a learning experience, but damn that was difficult to understand lol, since that i havent played any of the 2k games, until this one, since sony gave it away with ps plus, so i said why not, lets give it a try, i started playing cavs vs warriors, and it was soooo frustrating lost all of the games, but for a reason i really enjoyed the games, i have some technical knowledge on the sport but not on the leage, so i tried all the things that i knew and some of them worked, so i started looking for tutorials online and actually lots of people recomend your channel, which is a really good channel, so, i havent found your begginers tutorials, but one thing is for sure, i will be getting the 2k17 and hopefully i will get better (it is really great that you take care of your channel, those are the things that matter)
+Oscar Morales Thanks man. And no worries, yes got to my main channel page scroll down a little and you should see beginner's playlist :)
the mode is online play now
Hello sam
hey :)
+Sam Pham NBA Tips and Tutorial 2K16 Hey Pham, great video! anything extra I need to do when I use the Lakers when using this defensive settings. You know they are not the greatest on D. SMDH. LOL
Hey, Sam Pham I love watching your videos. You inspired me to make my own youtube video about how to play amazing defense. I worked on my video for 2 months, and if you have the time may you please check it out lol. Thank you sir.
@ Mr_Shutdown I was watching sam's videos but I checked out yours too. It's pretty decent, you've got a long way to go though. Keep at it :D
thanks man
2K17 forces you to cheese the entire time. Not much fun
Sam Pham TBE
fist 52 quick *****katana
What playbook
+Lamron Has Emag Suns
1
first
Ive found that most players get 90% of their halfcourt offense from overaggressive help defenders leaving shooters wide open. and the help defense is almost useless, they seldom much help if u get caught up on the screen. Im used to playing in sim leagues and play on ball defense except occasionally switching to rotate. I tweeted Scott OG about this issuse with overaggressive help defense before and probably should tweet him again about toning down the help defense or having a setting to control how much help and where it's coming from.
What's ur defensive assist on?
+Lamron Has Emag usually between 0-15
+Lil DonWan it depends on skill level and feel. I would try 25 and see how that feels
+Greg Smith how do u defend the people there keep driving in and getting random layups or fuels?
