What Are Some Strategies To Beat The Heats In 2k13

[UWfan206]

When I play online people always pick the Heats....What are some good strategies to beat Miami besides the obvious which is stopping Lebron?

1. What teams matches up with them well..?
2. What matchup settings are good to use?
3. What type of defense is good to play?
4. Any good rotation for a particular team..?
5. What tempo should I play...?

Any other questions I miss feel free to answer...

If they're the Heat user that likes to run around the perimeter and shoot pull up threes with Chalmers/Allen use 3-2 zone and manually guard them using the right stick "hands up" to force them into that jumping animation when they shoot.

If they're the Heat user that likes to rush in the paint with LeBron then throw doubles at them to get the ball out of his hands. Chances are they won't know how to use anyone else.

It's "Heat" not "Heats"

Have to judge the other person's play style... As previously stated a lot of people like to drive and kick.

So set defense to pressure shooters... or if they're abusing lebron, you can set to lock down the paint.

Also i like to mix in 2-3 zone occasionally when they drive and dish alot with lebron/dwade and user control the center...

A high tempo offense is only good if you can make shots when you dont get layups. I recommend a slower tempo while still looking to run the break.

Have to use a nice rotation because you want to keep your stars fresh as they're the primary scorers. Hopefully you have a decent scoring option off of the bench.

Teams that i think match up well are:
Pacers
Thunder
Knicks
Nets
Spurs
Bulls
Nuggets
T-Blazers
Basically anybody with a decent SF and a decent PG... with a good rebounder

If you're patient on offense and neutralize the other person from their "go-to" which tends to be cheese in quick matches and you'll be fine
I mostly use the trailblazers and whenever I come across the Heat i laugh... because 90% of people that use them dont understand basketball.
I'm more afraid of the Thunder to be honest
Well that's about all i can bestow upon you without actually talking to you. good luck man.

You can mix in a 3-2 zone but i dont recommend it as a primary defense... You gotta be able to stick with man to man... otherwise you leave shooters open... haslem/lewis off the bench can be deadly against a 3-2

Most people who use the Heat are looking for 3s on the wings and in the corners... not a ton from the top of the arc. So thats why I say 2-3.... and STAY AWAY from 1-3-1 ... any smart player will run a set play against that and put shooters in the corner.
