Post Scorers - What's your favorite move this year?

[Chemthethriller]

We have threads for pretty much every archetype but the Post Scorer. I have been messing around with one myself and I'm actually enjoying it a lot.

My only issue is, when I'm being defended by someone undersized, and low overall rating, my 95% full shots seem to be... just ok.

I also have the issue of dropstepping, and offline I can get a dunk a lot but, online I dropstep and it's almost always a layup, that is blocked about 25% of the time.

I'm playing post scorer pf 6'10 .

some insights on post game:

1)post shimmy hook seem to work better than regular one. You do it same way as normal one while also holding right trigger. It works better because it helps avoid "contested" animation trigger that always brick. Also using it as initial fake for up'n'under seem to work very well because your player usually changes positioning against defender which opens up a step through.

2)You can switch dribbling hand while in post up which is very neat I love to use to for switching angles to trick the opponent . Control is very similar to fake spin move and I often accidentally do one or other .

3)Drop Step and Post Spin are money moves if defender hugs you very close or reaches in. There is new canned drop step animation that just break defender away from you:

With this build you have to be an axis of your team offense otherwise you'd be quite inefficient as some guy who just picks rebs and dunks.

I really like the drop step to the middle as it creates some opportunities but yet I struggle to do it consistently.

@vroman: how does the move in the clip work? it looks super nice and that's exactly how random guys defend your post guy

I love how you have complete control over what move you specifically want to make, instead of triggering a random preset animation. Up and under? Can finish with either the right or the left. Spin to baseline and pause mid shot, stepthrough? You can do that too. I didnt get 2k16, so I find the post game here to be incredibly responsive and tight.

This Dropstep video is EXACTLY what I'm walking about. I making the assumption you have high Dunk/layup, like myself, I can't get a dunk out of this, it's always that layup.

I am 7' C, 276 lbs and max wingspan.

I love shimmy hooks and dropsteps into dunk. HOF MyCareer is almost too easy for me. But I do feel difference being guarded by Ilyasova and being guarded by Dwight. I can easily destroy Ilyasova in the post with shimmys, dropsteps and The Dreams but I really have to work against Dwight. I have to utilize my mid range (67 rated) to draw him out of his comfort zone.

Also when I get the ball in high post ISO against good/great defender I give ball to Justice, pick and roll with him so I get a mismatch with PG and then just barbecue chicken erneeeh

More often than not i dunk it now (78 stand dunk and 83 post control), back there i was like 75 ovr with low post up ratings. Not really sure but i think u need to time it on when to force dunk out of the animation.
