I can't make the players fade or curl when coming off a screen. How can I exactly do that?

Not gonna lie. I watched this video and it really helped me last night when I finally whooped my friend's ***. Doing the lead passes, passing early, and getting closer to your target really help a lot. I usually have +10 turnovers but I only had 7. Good stuff, Czar!

Great video, and I will echo the sentiments of others:

STICKY THIS THREAD

Once you get the hang of it, 2k's passing game works well and isn't hard to use at all, but it seems a little tedious to have to icon passing for basic ball movement.

I totally agree. There isn't enough offball movement from your teammates. If they didn't just stand there half the time and made more effort to get open there would be a lot less people complaining about turnovers from passes. Having said that, if you play the game with a little more patience things can open up for you but I would still like to see more offball movement.

This is a small gripe rather than a major issue. For the record I think this game is awesome.

I don't recall seeing the player moving forward when lead passing. Does this work when the player you want to pass to isn't moving around? I can't get lead passing to work when UP is the direction I want him to go. Left, Right, Down (on the 2K camera) all work fine for me. Moving forward is the only one that doesn't seem to work.

someone needs to answer this. I'm having trouble with this too. Unless you hold down on the icon button, you don't seem to have that much controll of where the receiver goes with (R1) icon passing. Plus with the hold-down method there seems to be a small animation gather on pause that causes the process to be a bit slower than it should be.
