Official 2k11 "How to" Question and Answer Thread

[NINJAK2]

No I do not have all the answers to 2k11 but I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread like this where people can ask any and all questions about issues they are having with 2k11 regarding how to do certain things within the game(Gameplay, Association, etc.). We have a lot of threads where people ask a question about how to do something in 2k11 and once that question is answered that thread is no longer needed. This can hopefully be a one stop thread for tips and answers to all 2k11 players on all things.

The rules I would like to establish in this thread are the following:
1. Once a question is asked, it would be cool if someone could respond by quoting the question within the response.
2. If someone has more to add to another's response/answer feel free to chime in if you think your input goes a little further than the previous answer.
3. If you do not like 2k11 this is not the place to voice your issues with the game. This thread is meant for those who are enjoying it and would like to add to their fun and understanding.
4. No question is dumb....Be respectful to those that ask them and answer them.


My question: Is there a way to call for a pick from a certain player? In the extended manual it says tap LB(I'm on Xbox) and click the icon of the player I want. When I do that, let's say I want Kobe to set a pick, I hit the b-button. When I hit the b button I only get the option to run real plays for him not quick ones like pick n roll. Please help...

What you have to do is hold the B-Button down. Instead of bringing up a call play screen, he'll come over and set a pick.

Supposedly, there is a way to make him leave early as well, and also a way to control how to do the pick and fade, but I cannot do it for the life of me.

Thank you OSU. I will try this later when I get home. Would I hold down the X button if I want the SF to come set pick after I select them or is it always holding down B after selecting a player?

Just to chime in, to do the pick and roll, you simply hold the corresponding button of whatever player you want to set the pick until the pick is set. To do the pick and pop, you do the same as above until the icon pops over the player's head.

Now my question is, how do you slip the pick using icon pick control?

i have a question, how do you defend with contact, but without a foul?

The icons will disappear. Now that's for the PnR.

According to Po there, it looks like if you hold it, it will be pick and pop.

No idea how to slip a screen either.

You mean body up without fouling? Stay in front of the player when they start to drive, then immediately stop touching anything, especially jump or up on the stick.

At least, that's how I've done it. Doesn't really work all the time, but sometimes it does, especially with a bigger guy on a guard.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but If I understand what you're asking, it's just like a 50/50 chance. You'll get called sometimes, you won't get called sometimes. (Unless it's obvious of course)

what sucks is that the players seem to want to hard foul every single time when i hold L2 lol
