Sure Shots anyone?

Tue Dec 07, 2004 1:25 pm

I don't know about you guys but i find the game way too easy. I practice with the cpu and play in computer shops againts other people. I find the game way to easy!

Did you guys find the sure shots of your favorite players? or positions? Like the follow through shot with your big men? I like that they made the game more realistic where you have to change your shot depending on the postion of your defender and all but there are just some players that can't be guarded! Like Dirk, his high follow through shot any where aroung the key, when dished to him it can't be stoped as long as you hold a direction depending on where he is.

If you use press box then this is for you. If your at the top of the screen, hold down while you shoot so he does a follow through, if your at the bottom, hold right or left while shooting, it becomes a quick release and not a jump hook, remember, not in the paint, wait for him to get into postion and call for the ball, if you're around the free throw line, hold toward the basket and shoot, he won't do a leaner like most big men, he gets into his shot stance and glides forward. Dont' hold the shoot button too long, these are all quick release shots.

If you're in the key and infront of the basket, tap the shot button, the quick release looks ugly but its a sure shot.

And its so much easier if, when you catch the ball, tap right on the right analog to quick fake then run to the side then do the moves. It works with most of the big power forwards, It works best with duncan, dirk, juwan howard, Gasol, Webber etc.


I find houston to have the most exploits, My Sac is unstoppable, my Detroit is Wonderful, my Spurs is utterly awsome, but my Houston is a spectacle to see! Should i just keep adjusting my sliders like everyone keeps saying? Then when i play against other people i say, "Please wait, but would you mind if i tweak your sliders so it will be harder for me?" Really now...........

If you have any more shots like these, message........
