Post Offense: Spin/Drive not working

[Luke Skywalker]

Is anyone has having a problem with posting up and trying to spin towards the basket? I went into the Controls tutorial; it’s identical to 2K21, but everytime I post up and enter the commands, my player disengages from the post to face-up the defender.

Any help with this much appreciated!

Yeah I've tried this a few times now and same thing happens. I assumed it was a change to the post mechanics.

When I compare the NBA 2K21 post moves list to the one in NBA 2K22 I see two missing in 2K22--drive towards baseline and drive towards lane. I assume they took both out.

Are you on next gen?

Looks like the only post drives are the half-circle inputs...

I have 2K21 on my XBox One X, and 2K22 on my PS5. I immediately noticed the spin drive wasn't working on the PS5, and saw it was missing from the list.

I'm practicing the circle spin with the stick, and it does seem to do the same thing but I haven't mastered it yet. I can get them to spin, but they stop right after the spin and won't keep driving to the basket for some reason I haven't figured out yet.

I figure they got rid of the auto-spin in favor of using the right stick to do it more manually, but I dunno, I just know it's not working now.

You got to practice with it more to get the hang of it. Post Offense is my best weapon right now. haha

My theory is that version of the spin was too easy to activate and spam in 2K21, so they made it manual and shortened it up.

It won't take you all the way to the rim but you can branch out of it.
