[@Sssnipeegang210]

I’ll say I’m not much of a fan reaching in when it comes to fouls or you getting burned so I mostly rely on my perimeter defense and bodying the ball handler , beating them to spots, to where I’ll get bump steals or they’ll pass the ball into my player when I have my hands up 🤷🏾‍♂️

Guys lower 3pt to 76 or 77 and get a 80 layup you’ll get a better name (doesn’t require layup) id also turn speed down just a little bit for some other better stats

[@YorkshireYobbo]

Great vid. I have no issues with steals or interceptions, that's very easy. However I struggle to stay infront of my man. Not see any vids on the basics, do you hold l2 at all times? L2 and r2 ? Or just use them sparingly?

[@guga2luvly]

I think I answered a comment about this already but I don't mind explaining again. Basically, my position determines if I hold LT or not. If I am already in good defensive position on my man and don't want to give it up, I hold L2. However, lets say I lose my position and my matchup blows past me. I then let go of LT to try to get my position back. So, in shorter terms, good position hold L2, let go of L2 if you are trying to catch up.

[@BrandonWilliams-qu2fo]

Great video. One question though, what do you mean by body to body dribbling?

[@guga2luvly]

So when I say body to body, that means if they are dribbling while making contact with you. For example, physical handles badge triggers when they are body to body dribbling. Essentially, you have a better chance of poking the ball loose if there is no air space or distance between you and your matchup.

Do you use X/square for steals or right stick? Should I even bother upgrading right stick ripper on a 99 steal build

[@guga2luvly]

I pretty much only use X since they nerfed right stick ripper into the ground... From time to time I use my right stick to go for passing lane steals but I personally have not been a fan of getting on ball steals with it since the nerf. Let me know if you've had any success with it!

[@isaacdykes5552]

Best pro am 3v3 lockdown build?

[@MiltonThomas-q3q]

You didn't speak about which is more successful right stick ripper or hitting square.

[@guga2luvly]

I just prefer to hit X especially if you have glove. Since they nerfed right stick ripper into the ground it hasn't been effective. But every now and then I say fuck it and try to go for a right stick steal, sometimes it gives me different animations.

Also just remember he has a 99 steal. Dont expect your player to play defense like him if you do not have a 99 steal

[@678kicks5]

I have a question for you. A lot of times I will get the rip but the offensive player always picks the ball up. Is there something I need to press to be able to retain my steals?

[@guga2luvly]

I believe that has to do with the work horse badge which sometimes gives you better animations to hustle for the ball. And the rest of it is just animation. Happens to everyone so unfortunately it’s not much you can do about that.

Hey bro what’s the jump shot just created this build?? Please ur tuff af g

[@Liony_2001]

@@guga2luvly thanks bro soo much , keep uploading lock videos

[@ImBranno]

Quick tip, don’t turn defensive assist down too low as it’ll prevent you from getting as many bump animations and clamp animations etc, around 10-20 i would say is more than low enough. If you have problems with your player guarding the wrong guy press rb/r1 and then the icon of the play you want to guard and it’ll force a switch for you. Also very good for picking up full court or off inbounds. Very very useful to get proper block animations from help defence

Was going to test this but you beat me to it! Appreciate the knowledge!

@@guga2luvly seems like you don’t need the bumps bro. Keep at the videos man they’re looking great

@@andrewoberg after taking some time to experiment, playing on 0 does not impact how bumpy you get (AT LEAST TO ME) this is not official testing, just what I realized

[@AvtarbBogota]

[@guga2luvly]

A 91 steal is really good, and therefore you have a higher chance of getting those crazy animations as people without that high of a steal.

how do u use that headset on ur xbox i have the same headset but i cant use it on my xbox

[@guga2luvly]

I don’t use it for Xbox, I just have my Xbox audio go through my elgato to my PC

[@officialulti]

One thing that i cant find on any video is dealing with the game forcing animations to let the defender get open. My 82 int / 93 perim/ 91 ste / 85 speed / 90 strng lock sometimes gets pushed by a ghost and cant get bumpy. they do regular left right dribble moves without R2 and an invisible wall gets created forces my character to give them an open lane. is it Physical handles? thats my only guess

[@guga2luvly]

Physical handles enables a player to dribble and get by you when ur pressing them hard. So yea, your guess would most likely be correct. I didn’t want to talk too much about badges like physical handles or bulldozer because in many instances there’s nothing you can do to combat a badge animation once it triggers. And this video is more basic information. I plan to drop an advanced video soon which may talk about these.

[@officialulti]

@@guga2luvly I dont even know what attributes or badges could possibly combat it. The only one ive noticed combat those animations a lot more is my 74 interior 94 perim 96 steal 82 strength 86 speed SG. idk why.

[@FreeDaveil]

Do you use x or right stick for the passing lanes

[@guga2luvly]

I prefer to use X for everything

[@FRESH___]

Not even 5 mins in and you leading them wrong. Who to guard arrow is important. 1.) It’s a quick reminder for you 2.) if playing solo lets you know who your teammates should/will be rotating too 3.) helps aid you to align your back to the basket for more mobility to prevent passing lanes

[@guga2luvly]

That’s a very strong opinion to have, but imma provide my counters to all your points. 1) I said I prefer IQ over arrows. Developing tendencies and not having to rely on arrows makes you an infinitely better lock. 90% of the time by the time the arrow switches it’s already too late, 2) if your playing solo, that is you playing to the best of your ability. You can’t control what your teammates do. Having arrows or not won’t change the fact that most randoms playing themselves won’t rotate in time because they don’t possess the necessary IQ or reaction time. 3) aligning your back has more to do with defensive assist strength, which I play at a very low defensive assist strength. That is why I rarely have my back turned the wrong direction and can move more freely. With practice you can still be bumpy with 0 defensive assist in theory, although for most people I recommend they have at least a little bit turned on. The defensive settings are my recommendations. Whether or not I have arrows or not I am confident in clamping anyone. The main reason is putting them into good habits and mentality of a defensive player.

[@TheEeddvviiss]

ok but what about right stick ripper when should i use it

[@guga2luvly]

I dont really fw right stick ripper much anymore since they nerfed it into the ground a few patches ago. But in theory, its the same shit as glove, just instead of pressing X to reach you would use ur right stick.

[@BandoLo-]

[@raskosworld]

[@Idonotgaf]

If you don’t know about the differences with L2 and without L2 (which you did not mention) can’t consider you a lock you just good at getting steals . Literally playing zone spamming with a 99 steal . Not once did he mention leverage or where to force the ball depending on where the defense is or how to use turbo and not use strafe defense sometimes . Might as well call this video how to get steals and play paint defense because you was literally getting cooked in the video and people was just missing the shot because they suck or just because your perimeter defense is so high you are getting a contest by doing nothing. If you a true lock beg your team to play man on man and lock up the best players. How you a lock and everything you post is in zone 😂😂 it’s always the content creators who don’t have a gym membership for me

[@guga2luvly]

I like how you wrote all this and didn’t put in any effort to read, as I already answered several comments about LT defense… I also have mentioned many times that I plan on making another video because it’s a lot of information. Guess you didn’t read that either… so next time before you write a paragraph on another man’s video I recommend you put in some effort to make sure you know what you talking about. And since you wanna make it personal over 2k, you can gladly get your best 5 and we can wager for $100 a head and I will make you all look stupid on stream. The invitation is here for you.

[@wordtomymuvva5063]

How do you stop the cheesy magic Johnson cross the fast one

[@guga2luvly]

Easiest way to get this done is to look at opponent tendencies. What helps me a lot is seeing when people do it. Most commonly, they always do a snatch back or step back of some sort and then do the magic cross. So you have to try and predict them switching the opposite direction. Having the ability to predict someone’s moves will make it really easy for you to put them in a straight jacket.

@@guga2luvly yessirrr

[@DOK729]

My biggest problem is spamming Y

[@BOCM28]

When should I use the LT to defend?

[@guga2luvly]

I think about it like this: use LT if ur in good position and don’t want to lose it, don’t use LT if you need to get back in position. Not using LT lets you run freely, so if you get beaten in a rim run for example, sprinting without LT helps you get more chase downs

[@eh6363]

Great tips, stop spamming and get between your opponents and the basket.
