Utilizing the Three Point Shot in NBA 2k8

Coach Hartman checks in again this week with an article at how to best utilize the three point shot in NBA 2k8.

Quote:
"Since the NBA’s adoption of the three-point line during the 1979-80 season, the trifecta has become a dangerous weapon when used properly and in moderation.

Using this weapon in NBA 2K8 can be a gamble but it can also become the proverbial “nail in the coffin” that puts your opponent away for good. Let’s take a look at some history behind the three-pointer and how to use it effectively in NBA 2K8."

Platform: PS2 / PS3 / Xbox 360

bronco92...you're quite welcome. Glad I can provide a little insight. Oh, another thing you may want to try to get open 3's is using icon passing. If you have a superstar player that gets double-teamed a lot then you can use the icon passing to kick it to the wide open player on the perimeter. You have to be quick, decisive, and make sure you have a shooter catching the ball though! Hope it helps!

very good job Hartman. I especially liked you pulling specific plays out of the playbook and breaking down how to use them for the trifecta.

J,
I noticed that you were actually running plays to take advantage of the three. I have two questions. Your opinion, how easy or difficult is it to run the playbook and be effective with it? And two, how would you recommend someone who doesn't understand basketball plays very well to take advantage of the playbook? Thanks Hartman for you help.

King Melton:

Here are my responses to your questions:

1. In my opinion, it can be a tad bit difficult to use the playbook for a couple of reasons. First, if you're going to control the player who has the ball then you have to time things just right and you have to know what every offensive player on the floor is supposed to do during the play. If you are controlling the shooting guard and you pass the ball back to the top of the key you have to remember what the player you just passed the ball to is supposed to do. If you forget then the play will get messed up. If you lock onto one player then you only have to remember what the one player is supposed to do.

2. If you don't know basketball plays very well then you should probably spend some time simply watching the movement of the plays in the playbook screen. You should also take advantage of practice mode and continue to practice the plays. You can also use the play diagrams that show up on the floor while running the plays.

Hope that helps!
