How to take a charge?

[do_Denver2]

I position my guy in front of the defender and press B, and every time he bowls me over and I get a blocking foul!!! What am I doing wrong? I have the charging slider at 100 and the blocking slider at 50.

It's a game problem, ever since people complained about charges in 2k10 or 2k11 it been messed up.

Seems like a thin line between blocking and charging fouls. There has been plenty of times where I'm in front of my man the whole time he's doing his dribbling iso crap, attacks the basket, runs me over while in charge stance, yet I get a blocking foul. Charge card sig may help but seems like a waste. Also, by default sliders are set lower for charging fouls compared to blocking, so it may help to increase it.

Charges? in 2K13? Good one!

Yeah, the slider for charging fouls is too low by default. I've increased mine from 50 to 70 for both User & CPU. Now I see a few times a game the CPU trying to draw charges on me, which I never saw before. I can get more calls also, you just have to make sure you let go of the left stick so you don't move at all and time it just right.

I've gotten some charge calls, but at the same time some questionable blocking calls as well.
It's messed up, alright. :I

FUnny thing, right after I posted this I drew my first charge on a fast break. I stood my ground and in the key as they went into a euro step layup.... went right over me and got the charge. The problem is that it seems like when I set up for the charge they normally just go right around my guy! I'll have to try releasing the left stick to make sure I'm not moving. At any rate, it seems a little too tough to get a charge.

Haven't drew one charge yet me vs CPU. I played vs a friend and it was a charge fest. We were just having fun floping like a couple idiots. The mechanics work so it's deff a CPU not being able to tell Charge VS Blocking foul 9 times out of 10 times.
