What badge or tactic counters 'pogo stick'

[2_headedmonster]

It seems like no matter what badge I have, what pump fake I get them to bite on, they are still able to go for a second block attempt before my slow initial move completes. Suggestions?

Finishing directly under the basket has been a problem since 18. My only recommendation is to kick out if you don't have it initially.

I notice sometimes when I go back up after the offensive rebound, Quick First Step triggers. Not sure when makes that happen yet, but it might help.

On a separate note, Pump Fake Maestro will help make sure the shot goes in if you do manage to get it off after faking the defender.

That's actually for those directional shots after a pump fake, not a layup after a pump fake. I assumed the same until I did some testing.

Ah ok, that's pretty much how I always do it...throw up the pump, read the defender, then RS in the direction to avoid the contact.

Up and under works with the dream shake badge.

Quite frankly the best option is to make contact and get the foul call.

However you might get those silly body blocks.

Btw if you can dribble then spin move or drop step after a pump fake can be very effective.

Sadly you might rarely get the ball in that position

I'll give that a try. It seems like repositioning may afford them more time, but it's worth a shot. Any way to semi-consistently draw fouls on an airborne defender?

Pump fake to make them jump then up and under into where they are going to land and then go for the standing lay up.

If you manage a shot changing acrobat type then odds are you will draw a foul.

Regular shot might get those body blocks that should be a foul.

Usually after 2 of these fouls they will stop spamming block or they will foul out lol.

Once they get in foul trouble they usually
Play scared and you can have your way.
