Getting Out Rebounded?? Here's why...

[Meetro]

Ive noticed alot of people say that the rebounding is broken in every 2K game. But the main reason why this is happening is more than likely human error. You simply have to box your man out.

When your playing on ball defense and the player/CPU takes a shot, instead of turning to chase after the rebound, Hold LT and use LS to keep the shooter from getting the rebound. His in turn makes everyone on your team do the same thing, and your team will more than likely get the defensive rebound.

This is something i use when i play and I usually play on HOF or Superstar at least, just wanted to give a tip that some of you might not know about since i've gotten so many good tips from this site.

Yea its so many small details to this game and they never give you a full manual to explain these things..I guess hey expect us to just figure out every little trick. But if you understand the fundamentals of real basketball and apply it to this game, you can have some really great things happen.

This was what i did last year, but last year, there were plenty of times i'd box out and then my guy would get his rebound stolen by a guard (Both opponent and teammate)

I havent played enough of this year to make a sure judgement, but I feel like this year's box out animation hitbox to engage the box out is smaller. I found it harder to box out than last year, though it could just be the small sample size of games.

However, I think i do see less superman guard rebounds, but again, I havent played enough to really confirm. Liking the game so far, there seems to be more live rebounds where the ball tips in the air. Was in the last two iterations as well, but it seems like it happens more, which is kinda cool to me.

No offense to the OP, but isn't this obvious? This is like basketball 101. When a shot goes up you put a body on your man and get between him and the basket.
