STOP SLIDING on defense with these TIPS

[@z26BS]

About the standing dunk video (off the dropstep) what's the best control? Right stick up or hold X? X has been working quite well for me

[@DazRFBM]

@@z26BSthe answer is either of those. Both are really similar but X gives you layups slightly more often so if you tryna dunk use the stick straight up.. Don’t try left or right on the RS cos it’s terrible 😂

[@DJknows]

@@z26BS if you let go of everything for a second then turbo & X work well but also up on both sticks works nice too.

I don’t understand how the 2k servers are so bad it’s the only game I’ve played with that much delay

[@terenceteo2897]

2k is using budget server

[@BeLikeMalc]

It’s disgusting bro… Gotta try to predict the future just move nd shit 🙄

[@gmoneynofunny]

There’s like only 2 servers in all of NA

[@wickedgaming9632]

It's part the server but it's also part the commands. There's an on purpose tiny delay so that you can press more than 1 button before your character does his thing. Oops, contact dunks, flashy passes. Without a tiny delay these things don't exist because 2ks programmers are not great

[@nba2ktutes]

@@wickedgaming9632 it's actually the server...playnow mode offline works fine in terms of delay

[@Spawnamvs]

I think my issue is less sliding and more that defense has no equivalent to a speed boost. Read and reacting is all fine till you guess wrong and theres no chance of recovery because of them clearing 2 states

[@Riese79]

Allready tried ankle braces W High perimeter D? (above 85) And Low defence assist..... The most freezes Coming from High ballhandling vs Low perimeter D = lateral quickness. And maybe ankle breaker on top can stun you for a sec.

[@Spawnamvs]

@@Riese79 Oh no it's not that I'm being stunned. I'm just being outran because they speed boosted away from me (or through me cuz 2k's collision system is garbage) Think of it this way. I have 86 Perimeter D and 60 strength but even if I cut off your right, there a chance that you can run straight through me causing me to have to open up and chase when I shouldn't have had to. That turns into a secondary cross that leads to a speed boost and a 13% contest that they green over gold challenger.

[@patrickjw333]

Preach bro

[@murigiwijenje6516]

As a point guard who usually handles the ball, I agree, BUT, if they do that there needs to be more punish for going the wrong direction. I really feel like Ankle Breaker should also work off of going the wrong direction and trying to readjust late instead of having a defender randomly start spinning cuz you did a stepback. I think slight stuns with no badge should be possible but only when a defender bites the wrong way heavily, then ankle breaker can come in there to give bigger stuns when bad d is played. What do you think tho? Would want to hear your perspective on it. Edit: also remove no skill badges like clamp breaker and stupid ass blow by animations when the defender is playing properly

[@Riese79]

@@Spawnamvs ah ok. What you say is the clamp breaker Gold kicking in, I guess.

[@WeAreBlessed777]

I run my def assist between 15-25 in general, But on my lockdown build which has a 90+ PerD, I run 0-10, only because on my lockdown I don't really need def asst. compared to any other build where my PerD may be significantly lower.... but that's just my opinion and experience. My rule of thumb is keep adjusting it until you feel comfortable on Def, my nba2k veterans know what I mean, having to go back n forth tweakin the Def Assist lol but when you find that sweet spot you can tell. You might have a 60-65 perD, but when you find the right def assist rating and utilize your def IQ you can at least play some respectable defense, you just have to play smart, just pray you don't come across one of those "dribble gods" I would suggest switching if possible in that situation, because you already know what their soul purpose is...to take those ankles 🦶🏿🦶🏿😂

[@TheyCallMeDance]

Sadly, the game always gets patched soo much that the overpowered or cheese offensive moves get brought back into the game. This game started off defensive heavy then patch after patch it went right back to the typical PG dribbles his life away and scores most of the points game style. I still have fun with the game but I always think about what the game could be if it didn't constantly cater to cheese.

[@antionedavis7901]

Preach!!!! Definitely felt this all day.

[@cracker7046]

it would be boring

[@michaelloaded2447]

I've been tried all this sht,none of it fully works..The game is designed for offense to be over powered.Its not always delay.I have a 95 perimeter defense and still slide like crazy.

Clamp breaker is easier to get than Clamps. You spot on with that

[@304derrick]

Hey Tutes. Do me a favor and run a test for me. It might change your opinion of this situation. Test out the effects of holding right stick up and pressing R2 at the same time. It provides a defensive speed boost, ironically. You may slide but in the event of sliding, if you trigger these two in the event of catching up after sliding, it’ll provide a significant boost to catching up to the player you wish to contest. I told my brother this tactic, and he immediately agreed to its effect in the middle of a park game. And he thanked me ever since. I’m onto something for sure.

[@froman0069]

Works in park..not so much offline..but yeah been doing that for a while now. Works like a champ

[@304derrick]

@@froman0069 ironically enough I’m playing offline right as you sent that and it works as a charm. I just used it on a defensive play before I paused it to address you. That’s how I figured it out in offline career mode

[@DreadheadButler]

I’ve heard that both L2 and R2 supposedly helps you slide your feet faster on defense but I will try your method out

[@donedealriders]

Hold LT/L2 and spam RT/R2 when changing directions or guarding a dribble head. Change directions faster to cut off the opponent

[@robertmallon9142]

It's the treadmill workout controls applied here.

[@donedealriders]

@@robertmallon9142 I keep LT down so I can get the hip ride animation and spam RT for quick direction changes

[@dtew4928]

As in tapping RT? Instead of holding? This is interesting

[@donedealriders]

Yes Sir, tapppy tap tap, I only hold turbo on defense if they speed boosting or if I gotta chase

[@bryanchrisjoseph5526]

Facts. This is what I do. I have a 6'10" build. I tried to make a KD like player. The only time I have trouble is when I get assigned to play pg or sg lol even then it's a battle. They'll beat me sometime & sometime I'll shut them down. A lot of time players like to play and style. Once they get frustrated & try to make it 1 on 1 for their get back, that's when you get them. You continue to play team ball for the win.

That last tip was really helpful

[@koriia]

You can also just practice like this video, shuffle side to side online. You should get real comfortable with it too, just like you would with your shooting. We were all bricking once wondering why our shots felt like shit compared to offline, then we practiced our shots online then started greening. Same concept.

[@Eskeletor_210]

Damn as a big I’m already at a disadvantage. I just learned to accept that 2k will keep catering to non bigs. Got me looking like Gobert going cross eyed

[@NoobCR98]

😂😂😂 come on bro everyone is tall in this game and bigs are op. Y'all move just like guards. You got 6'9 pgs out here 😂

[@mhj626]

@@NoobCR98 6'9 are not bigs that's the point unless you're playing the rec being a True big is worthless.

[@Riese79]

No. You as a big are missmatch for a dribbler on the perimeter, like he is for you inside. Thats how basketball Works and 2k tries to implement modern basketball were the bigs are 6.10 6.11 ( i think)

[@NoobCR98]

@@Riese79 guys that's 6'9 shouldn't be so quick with the ball like a 6'3. They need to cap their speed with ball or dribbling attributes. It's insane

[@Eskeletor_210]

@@NoobCR98 bro I play fat post scorers fuck you talking about

[@Dontworryyell]

Question! You know how with takeover you gain a boost to attributes. Would you be able to test if there’s a boost past 99 with the lat movement test? So basically a build with 99 lat quickness and test speed before and during takeover
