Besides shot competitions, the one area of protection which has dramatically improved in NBA 2K20 are steals. Too frequently did a quality steal effort result. Quite often, it simply didn't make sense. In
, steal efforts are more effective. To slip, press Square (X Xbox One, Y on Switch), or, even if crowding the dribbler, quickly press and release the ideal stick.
When should you creep and try, though? If you're playing man-to-man defense and the dribbler keeps exposing the ball without doing anything to protect it, you get a great opportunity to select their pocket.
Another method you can use against irresponsible dribblers is forcing turnovers. It's common to play human opponents that take pleasure in padding the stat traces of their best players. They frequently end up playing hero ball, to accomplish this.?
This means they attempt to dismiss defenders in scenarios that are one-on-one. The problem with this strategy is the fact that it is harder to get by defenders in general. So they end up forcing it.
This makes a fantastic opportunity by taking a charge, to force turnovers. We've had a bit of success taking charges in our period with NBA 2K19. And while we do not endorse flopping, you can pretend the effect by double tapping on the button. We've had success flopping, too.
