Strategic Post Moves: When to be Patient and When to Attack

First, knowing when to be patient and when to go is important. When moving the ball in the post, you can wait for a double team before putting the ball on the ground. Scanning for an open man or quickly attacking will help make the defense scramble. Knowing what kind of player your opponent is going against is also important. The computer or a patient user will require different strategies than a more aggressive player. Pump fakes are often a great tool to use.

 

 

How to Use Simple Moves and Timing to Outsmart, Your Opponent?

It is best to keep it simple and focus on two or three moves when attacking. Spamming them will work off the adjustments your opponent makes. If you are bigger than your opponent, use aggressive backdowns and drop steps to overpower them. 

For a more finesse player, fadeaways are your friend. Utilizing icon-lead passing can also effectively get the ball to a big man down low. Changing the timing of your moves can also open up shots and force defenders to be more aggressive.

 

How to Use Post Hops and Drop Steps in NBA 2K23?

When entering the post, holding the left trigger and letting go when you want to face up is important. Post hops can be used to move around the court. Holding the left trigger and then flicking the elastic in any direction will cause your player to hop in that direction. You can also mix up your drives off the post by letting go of the left stick and then flicking the right stick. 

The drop step is another effective move when you are close to the rim. Holding the left trigger, aiming the left stick up towards the hoop, and tapping the square or X button will cause your player to drop the step. An aggressive backdown can be used if you have an advantage over the defender. Holding both the left and right triggers and then aiming the left stick towards the defender will help you get to the hoop quickly.

 

 

Mastering Fadeaways, Post Shimmy Hooks, and Post Dunks

Fadeaways out of the post can be used to open up space. Holding the left trigger and aiming the right stick away from the hoop will cause your player to attempt a fadeaway. 

Post-shimmy hooks are also a great move to use when playing against users. Holding the left and right triggers and then aiming the right stick up and towards the hoop will cause your player to attempt a post-shimmy hook. Fading and shimmy fade are also possible by holding both the left and right triggers and then aiming the left stick up and down in the desired direction. Post dunks can be attempted by holding the left and right triggers and then flicking the left and right sticks up. 

 

Creating a Custom Playbook for Your Team: Post-Up Play Types
