So for me to score really is to bet on hook shots or the up-and-under cheese. I have 85 Low Post Offense btw. Also, for some strange reason, even though I have 85 post-fadeaway, I'm simply not making them. When I attempt a post fadeaway, the shot feedback shows all green but gave me a C+/B- shot selection. Why is it so? I'm thinking of changing my post fadeaway animation but I haven't got to doing that yet.

I play as a 7"2 Faceup Centre. My Post Fadeaway is 75. The fadeway is always a tough shot, even more so if you do it from the post. Unless you're Dirk Nowitzki, or you're close to the basket, you won't make it. What's your Shot Inside, Close and Medium? Also, for best effects, post up in a triple threat position, give a drive fake or two, and then spin out towards your ball hand side. You playing on PC, PS3, or Xbox? Message me if you need more help.

Nope that glitch still happens. You would've had to wait until rhe offseason to resign with your team...

Just had a great game with my PF against Celtics. It was the 1st game in over a month and a half where both of the PGs on our team was healthy. I had 53 pts, 16 rebs, 6 assists, and 4 blocks. But this game was about my teammates stepping up. Coming to this team, I knew we would only have a few scoring options. Hubbard had 16 pts and 3 assists(8 TOs), Demunyck had a great second half and ended with 16 pts and 11 assists, but I was glad that Mo Harkless provided 17 pts(7-8) and 3 blocks. Hubbard and Demunyck is usually consistent, but those are only scoring options. We need Harkless to be a consistent 12+ pt scorer.

We are 33-17. I avg 23.2 pts, 10.4 rebs, 2.1 blocks, 65 FG%. I got selected to my 1st All Star Game. I am 5th in MVP voting. During last month I was able to ask for trade suggestions. I mainly chose scorers since it was a need. I also asked for a backup PG because our only 2 PGs start and get injured at times. We traded for the PG. It was my last option. We needed a extra scorer more, but it was also a need. With Afflalo being out for season, we only have 1 other guard and it is a generated bum. I am hoping in the offseason we can sign a good player. We have 15 mill in cap space and all of our players(besides 1 who is retiring) are signed throughout next season.

Need help here, ath. SF.

After 30 games with Hornets we are doing good... Im averaging 16ppg, 6,8rebs and 6 assists in 8min games. However I need to change my game, I want to dunk on people! My dunk is at 80, I have standard dunk packages (haven't bought any sig dunks). Do you recommend me upgrading my dunk? I have vertical at 99 and its really helping me with rebs and blocks too... Also, what sigs should I take? I was thinking about Finisher.

The Post: Even when you are early in a career you should be able to dominate on the block. Heck, when I play pg I take my guy down there because of how easy it is to score. How to do it: NEVER do a full move until your stills are up. Instead, go to the block and get into position with the ball. Start a post move. As you go half way stop the action (let up on the stick) and then start it up again immediately. I shoot around 70% in the post. Doing fadeaways and such put you at the mercy of the game code.

THEE...BEST SIGNATURE SKILL for sf,pf,c
You sell your soul to get BRUSIER up to level 3 as fast as you can. Once up, your team will almost never lose. It is actually quite broken. As a big man with this skill....I basically dominate every single player I go against. LeBron...Durant...Anthony...it does not matter. The first or second time I back them down in the post you will see the Gatorade cup show up under their guy. This happens in the first min or two in every game on HoF level. They I play average def on them because they will be clanking everything. As this is happening I running into everyone on the other team using picks or trying to get switched onto them. On average, on Simulation/HoF...the opponent shoots around 38% from the field.

Also, because BRUISER gases the other guy so fast he starts to get really REALLY SLOW. THEN I make LeBron look really bad. I am 34-2 with the Bobcats, we win by an average of 24 pts (10 min qtrs...again..HoF). Mind you, this is my rookie season but I average (played every game..will sim when stats are higher): 25 ppg/15.6 rpg/8 apg/2.5 tpg/31 mpg. Don't ask about steals or blocks as I have never figured out this stupid game with those so I just play good defense.

Not trying to brag. Just pointing out what anyone can do having the BRUSIER skill even in your rookie year.

If you intend to drive to the basket or post up a lot, finisher is AWESOME(along with a high Shoot in Traffic).

I think your dunk is high enough. Make sure you max quickness as that let's you make your moves fast....aka clear lane to the basket.

See my post above: max out STRENGTH (90 for ath sf), then put on +5 dunk shoes which will bring it to 95 allowing you to get the last level of Bruiser. You will thank me a million times for this. It is better than lockdown defender because of what it does to those you guard.
