how can you shake free???

its like the Computer defense is suffocating me. no matter what spin move or crossover i put on the computer, they are stuck to me like glue. the only way to score is to run plays or just "shoot" the ball cause driving to the basket is gone.
how do you all get free?

Sounds like you are getting owned by the bumping animations, you need to decrease the on-ball defense to 48, defensive awareness to 38 and quickness to 49. That should remove the bumping, now you should be able to shake defenders off a little easier

Learn to patiently run plays.

Spacing will be better, shots will come easier and your confidence will grow as well.

Hold up. 38 or 48?

leave the sliders alone...learn how to create space with picks and step backs, and know that you don't have to totally get pass your defender in order to drive.

shotstick is your friend, you can create while driving along side with the defender to the basket

it's much more rewarding to finally "get it" than to have a handicap slider adjustment...and think u "got it"

You said exactly what you need to do. Run plays. That's what basketball consists of. You learn your personnel and how to work within your teams system and see what plays work.

If you actually watch you'd know that you can't just shake your man and drive to the hoop every time. However the crossovers are still effective. You just need to read the defense. If your man is playing straight up defense, chances are you won't be able to "shake" him. But if he's shading you one direction, take him off the dribble. All simple stuff.

It's all basic basketball knowledge. Just keep practicing and it will come.

So true. Another thing, if the defender "squares" you, you can drive the lane much easier. If the defender is anticipating you to drive and makes some space, shoot over him. What you do in real life, you can apply it here.
