How do u guys....?

Stay disciplined on on the ball defense. I mean when playing another user and you don't know when the offensive player is about to shoot, how do you react quick enough to get your hands up and contest. what do you look for? Especially those guys who constantly pump fake. Just wanna know what do u guys key on when playing a skilled user or even a less skilled user who constantly exploits a move or cheeses with one player.

if a guy is posting in the paint, i pay attention to how long they've been in there. i know there's only so long he can juke me until he gets a 3-second call, and most guys push that 3 seconds to the limit. so i usually just kick back, do my own count and then contest when time is up

but if a guy has a quicker trigger, i just pay attention to if the player is making a legitimate effort to face the basket and raise the ball up. if so, i jump



as far as the perimeter goes, i usually just stay on my feet during pump fakes (unless im late on a rotation). u dont have to block everything. sometimes, just being in the area and raising your arms can get u a stop. i have trouble with stepbacks though. seeing the guy leave his feet almost always gets me. but i'll take my chances, considering those are tough shots for most players

if you fall for fakes on a real basketball court then most likely youll do the do the same in this game.

a coach would say "you play defense with your feet not your hands"

only thing with that is in a real basketball game it's easier for me to be disciplined cause i'm a long six foot three with a long wingspan. In 2k i don't always feel like i'm in control. i'm an excellent defender in real life. that's why it frustrates me so much in this game. They reward the people who reach rather the ones who try to move without gambling all the time.
