Make sure you hold RB through out everything.

Thanks man no problem.

If you're on the right side of the court, around the midrange area where Kobe usually like to go to work in the post, press the Y button to go into the post and there is a particular area where Kobe won't have the usual back to the basket stance. If you then do a fadeaway from that stance, Kobe will shoot off of one leg.

So what buttons or sticks or triggers do you use on every defensive possession?

Probably the ones available.

Still unsure of the 'protect moves' - if you go into edit player there is a section with three or four different moves all under the category of 'protect' Not sure how they are pulled off in game, or what circumstances trigger these.

Also - the pump fake to jab step the CPU seems to do all the time, one smooth animation, can't seem to pull it off. Have tried with both stick and button variations - the animation always breaks after the pump fake so the jab is a seperate entity - the CPU is seamless.

^ Go check out the Beluba's Isomotion tips thread, towards the end. One guy figured it out (props to him, can't remember his username), and a few of us got it to work too.

The trick is while holding the shot modifier button (l2 on ps3, lt on xbox), flick the shot stick in any direction to initiate a fake, then quickly move the shot stick in the opposite direction making sure to keep the shot stick held down.

You're probably asking, wouldn't holding the lt + the shot stick make the player shoot? Well if you get the timing of the move correct, it won't. If you're familiar with the flick-flick moves in 2k11, it's almost similar, but instead of flicking the stick and releasing it the second time around, make sure you hold the stick and not release it. I know, confusing, but once you pull it off it's all good from there.

# 467 Optik @ 10/16/12 01:30 PM

^Thanks for that Ron. I see that you can also do it by just tapping and holding the shot button.

@Daveberg To do the protect moves you have to be disengaged from a defender, then just by following the controls manual, you can shoot from the protect position. I think Kobe sometimes does it in games. The shot off the one leg that I described on page 51, you don't need to find a sweet spot for the post, you just press Y and then do a fadeaway. You're usually able to take them all the time around the three point area, any closer and you usually just shoot a post fade.

Many thanks gentlemen - you've been a great help!

I played a game against the AI where with 3 seconds left in the quarter they inbounded the ball on the floor like they do a lot in actual games so the ball would be closer to their side of the court before the clock started up. How do you do that? I've never been able and this guide doesn't tell me.

Thanks.

It's one of the back shoulder buttons (LT/RT on 360) and pass. I forget which one

# 473 Pared @ 10/19/12 08:36 AM

It's left trigger.

All I want to know is the usual defensive routine. What do you have to do beside move around to stop the other team?

# 475 wagesofwins @ 10/19/12 10:53 PM

I'm a athletic Point Guard in My Career.

How do I avoid turnovers,without being too passive or without being not involved in the offense. I average 2-4 turnovers a game,my dribbling needs a lot of work,but most of my turnovers are due to passing/not being cautious with my passing.

-Run Plays - Pick & Roll is easist
-Changing Camera to see different passing angles

# 477 DJ @ 10/20/12 11:55 AM

Is the protect dribble (turn your shoulder toward the defender to prevent a steal attempt) still in the game? I remember using it a lot in 2K11 but can't figure out how to get it to work now.

TheCzar had a good video on defense from 2k12, and I still use the things he says from that video. Here's what I'm talking about:

But also, this year, they brought back shading on defense, which will also help you out.

Which camera angle do you use? how many turnovers do you average?
