If you are unable to score on the inside, you have become a one-dimensional offense, thus making it easier for the defense. Also, missed 3-pointers ignite fast breaks for the other team due to the long rebounds. However, it is a curse because it is easy to fall in love with the 3-point shot. It is a gift because obviously three points is more than two or one. You may have a team of shooters, but not every 3-point shot is going down. Step over jumper - Pump fake inside of the 3-point line and immediately after this, press the shot stick towards the basket. There are a couple of moves that are not included in the tutorial:įake to the basket layup – While running towards the basket, pump fake and immediately after doing this, press the shot stick towards or away from the basket.įake to the basket jump shot – While running towards the basket, pump fake and immediately after this, press the shot stick left or right of the basket. Conversely, spinning to the left could leave you in the clear. For example, if you have a defender shading you to your right, you should not do a spin move in the same direction. Isomotion is simply a tool to throw off the defense and should not be abused. There is a tutorial mode in the game that helps you learn the Isomotion moves, but the tutorial moe does not tell you when it is an appropriate time to use Isomotion moves. If it is not necessary to run a play, do not run one. The reason coaches run plays is to get other players involved (thus making the defense work) and to set up easy baskets for players who are off to a cold start. It is similar to playing in a pick-up game, except the players are much more talented than you. In the real NBA, the players are so talented that a lot of times, they just play off of each other. Now there are some gamers who like to call plays every trip down the court because it makes the game more "realistic" - no it does not. Most young teams (and the Utah Jazz) tend to run plays a lot during half-court sets to make sure they aren’t wasting possessions. A team like the Phoenix Suns does not run a lot of plays due to the number of veteran players who understand the nuances of basketball. This year, it is no longer necessary to call a play every time down the court there is even a "run the play" tendency in the coaching sliders that is dependent on what each specific coach likes to do. By pulling up for the mid-range bucket, you are giving yourself an open shot. Also, on a fast break, more often than not, the defender will look to guard the basket. If the opposing defense is not playing tight D, then drive to the basket. If it sags off too much, you have an open shot. The in-between game works because it puts the defense in a predicament. However, when you solely shoot 3-pointers or drive to the basket, your offense becomes predictable. Driving in for the layup or dunk is more or less a sure two points, while shooting 3-pointers will drive up the score in a hurry. As much as I hate this type of basketball, I do understand the logic behind it. Also, when a team sets up a good shot, it is much easier to set up the defense.įar too often, you will play against people who drive to the cup or shoot 3-pointers all game. Methodical teams usually slow the pace down because they are older (less stamina) or bigger (more rebounding). Also, when the defense does not have time to set up, it is easy to catch a squad off guard and exploit match-ups. This type of offense works because the defense has to run back on defense, and it gets tired in the process. Athletic teams like to get out in the open floor and run. You also have to play to your team’s strengths. If he has no handles, don’t abuse the crossover dribbles because the ball will get ripped. If he cannot shoot, make sure you get to the basket. The point is, play to your player's strengths.
And you need this knowledge, because if a casual NBA fan sees a "3" icon next to a player like Jason Kapono, he or she may shoot every type of 3-pointer with Kapono, which would not be good the shoot off the dribble slider ensures that Kapono will not score like he is Kobe (unless your defense is EXTREMELY awful). If you are a casual NBA fan, well then, luckily the game has ratings and tendencies. Those who watch the NBA on the regular should not need much time to adjust. It is imperative to learn the rosters if you plan on having any type of success in this game. Here are a few tips to make sure your offensive game is top notch too.
However, in the game of basketball, it doesn’t matter how good your D is if you can’t put the ball in the hole. Last time, I gave you guys some defensive tips.
