Are you saying double teams work in 2K12?

Double teaming makes no sense in 2k.. it makes you go automatically into protect the ball mode and makes me walk backcourt sometimes

I'm not seeing him playing good positional D at all. Here's what you do dude... take a good defender like Tim Duncan and give Blake some room instead of hugging him. smh "complaints" like this is why good gameplay goes bad. User Errorrerr. But yeah aside from that some sore spots on D were foot planting and not enough collision detection -- all things that looked more cleaned up in the 2K13 vids.

I will admit that I have not seen that video before nor have I run into a cheeser like that. But the guy has a point. I'll agree that it LOOKS like that stuff may be better this year, but we'll just have to wait and see. People find unique was to cheese in every game. It's a tough issue.

I'll admit its a heck of a task, but looking at the video, I can tell that he wasnt running any trap defenses and his double teams were soft. Ranked online(2k12) was a year were you were forced to user everything, make frequent defensive adjustments, and timing windows for success are small, but do exist.

When you're in the game and it's happening to you its harder to adjust real-time. I always felt like I had to play D in the strangest way possible online in order to keep up with guys like the Clippers user. Sound defense just isnt enough in a 2k ranked game. You always have to have some odd technique added in. The Blake abuser will certainly try this year in 2k13 to use the Posterizer sig skill to his advantage. He'll probably call just enough timeouts to try and keep Blake above 80 stamina and always keep his HUD up to know when his sig skill will register. I'll be experimenting with Lockdown Defender, Charge Card, and Active Hands, and Eraser to try and stop the One Man Shows.

Earlier this year, there were a few threads that popped up talking about the double teams and half court traps being too effective though. I experienced it myself in ranked games and it severely limited my offense and slowed me down when applied at the right time. I, in turn, was able to apply the same type of pressure to the one-man-show types and get the ball out of their hands. When playing OKC and MIA, that strategy came at a cost against somebody who knew how to find the open man.

let me repharse my remark, If you doubleteam while blake hasnt started to dribble, he can split doublteams like iverson. I did it all day with scola online and people complained because luis has low dribble rating.
