How do you body guys up?

I played a couple of games today on Superstar/Simulation. In one game I was Boston against Toronto. At least 5 times in the game, they'd look to Bargnani in the post. I tried pressing L2 both before and after he got the ball multiple times but nothing, both with defenders like Garnett and Shaq. Meanwhile Bargnani just does that animation where he smoothly turns and shoots as if no one is there for an easy bucket or foul call?

Press the left stick towards them. If in the post you will body them and on the perimeter you will try to deny pass.

L2 + Right stick to deny post.

I just moved up to Superstar, and I know before on All-Star, it seemed like all I had to do was press L2 and they'd do that engage post animation where they're both fighting for position. I definitely tried using the left stick direction towards the player along with L2 and more than half the time they'd just run in place into the player. But I'll try that right stick thing, thanks!

L2 should initiate contact. The right stick should make the player deny.

It works for me.

What difficulty/style do you play on?

[threes_co]

HOF/Sim-based custom sliders but I'm 1-4 in my franchise so I'll probably be moving the difficulty down to superstar.

You have to be beside or in front of them, I have tried to do it when a guy has me beat and it rarely happens....

LT and toward player
