I still haven't been able to throw a lob for an alley oop yet!!

Is it a timing thing when it comes to double clicking triangle and pointing the left stick at the target??

Do you mean that you haven't been able to throw the alley oop pass, or that you haven't been able to successfully convert an alley oop?

If it's the latter, there are several factors that go into successfully completing an alley oop. The receiver needs to have an open lane to the basket, there shouldn't be any defenders within arms length of the receiver in any direction, the receiver needs a good vertical/dunk rating, and you need to throw the pass when the receiver is around 8-10 ft away from the goal. But most importantly ... you need to be at the right angle. The perfect angle is when the passer and receiver are slashing toward the basket from opposite wings. But at the very least, you need to imagine a line running down the middle of the court from basket to basket. If you and the receiver are on the same side of that line, do not try the alley oop.

Nah. Used to do that before until I read on here not to do that so I stopped but I'm still having issues where if I contest shot with only RS(pushing it straight up)I get whistled for a foul, with a few of those times getting called for a flagrant.

Last night was the worst experience I had with it playing against the Jazz

Wow, I was almost positive you were going to say you were holding LT too, because you're right, it does nothing but get you in trouble, lol. I do get fouls from RS straight up sometimes, but not a lot. Are you sure you are actually holding it straight up and not toward the offensive player? I know that will definitely get you fouls, and flagrants. Make sure your R Stick defense isn't on absolute as well...because you may unknowingly be holding the stick towards the player thinking you're doing hands up. I think having defensive assist on anything over 50 will over do it no matter how you contest as well. Hope that helps!

Honestly I haven't paid that much attention to the direction I'm holding it towards but I will now, because it's very possible that it's all me that's causing these issues.

I haven't touched defensive assist but should I lower it just in case?

EDIT: Just checked that I do have RS Defense on Camera Relative and Defensive Assist set to 0.

OK, you should be good holding the stick straight up then...I think anything else, especially towards the post man is a foul risk...

D Assist is your preference really, I think mine is on default...which I think is 50 and that works for me...

Looking for advice before considering a purchase.

Strictly offline..Gameplay wise.

Is this game THAT much better than 2k15?

Thanks.
