![]() ![]() The shimmy fade is a fun variation to this move since it can confuse the defender (especially user-controlled defenders) and force them to make a move and give you more space. The fadeaway is a great shot and many players’ signature move – Nowitzki, Kobe, Durant instantly come to mind. If you have realistic game sliders set up, you really have to get the timing perfect if you are to make a hook from further away. So, don’t hold the stick for too long if you want to make the shot.Īlso, make sure you’re close to the basket – if you’re far away, the player might attempt a shot, fadeaway, or simply attempt a hook but fail because it’s a tough shot to make from the high post. ![]() The important thing to realize here is that most players will have a very quick release on their hook. According to 2K’s guide, you can also hold the right stick up and to the left to execute this move but I found it rarely works like this while up and right works every time. How to do a post hook: While holding down L2/LT, keep the left stick neutral and push and hold the right stick up and to the right. It helps you avoid defender contact and allows you to outsmart strong centers when you’re covered. The hook is an old-school post move that can look quite smooth when pulled off properly. Note that this is in MyTeam against a weak Ayton card while my Jokic is maxed out at 89 OVR and has great strength. Here is Jokic pushing Deandre Ayton under the basket. ![]() So, check your player’s Strength attribute and reserve this move only against weaker, smaller defenders. If you try this, your player will simply deflect off the defender, unable to move him. ![]() One important thing to remember here is that you can’t really do this against defenders that are stronger than you. Your player will start pushing with his shoulder and creating space to maneuver. Hold the Sprint button (R2/RT) and move the left stick towards the basket. How to do aggressive backdown: post up by holding L2/LT. If you’re faced with a smaller defender, it will take you a few seconds to aggressively push them right under the rim and score with ease. This is one of my favorite post moves, especially when I have the ball with a strong center. Personally, I advise spinning rather than driving in most cases, since driving leaves the ball exposed and it can easily get stripped away, especially because centers have such poor handle skills.Īnd here is a post drive: Aggressive Backdown He will try to go around the defender either by spinning or driving, depending on which direction you’re moving in. While holding the button, rotate the right stick in the direction you want your player to move. How to post spin or drive: to execute this move, hold the L2/LT button to enter the post. While posted up against the defender, your player will either spin towards the basket (if you’re going over the back shoulder) or drive towards the basket around the defender (if you’re going over the front shoulder). This move is used to make an aggressive move towards the basket from the post. Now, let’s get into the best 2K22 post moves and how to execute each one. You can post up with good wings and guards but they’re better in high post situations – think Kobe’s unguardable fadeaway. Your job is then either to finish if you have a good position or find that open teammate. This might force the opposition center/PF to come and help with the double team, leaving his assignment open. It’s also pretty effective because you can usually bully the defender and get under the basket. This is a perfect situation to post up and it’s something I try to do pretty much every time when I see that happening. When the opponent rotates and switches defenders, a smaller guard can find himself isolated against a center or power forward. On the other hand, I personally like to post up with my center any time I have a mismatch in the low post. And, if you’re entering the post with a guard, it might be better to learn how to do a floater in NBA 2K22. You don’t want to back down a good center with a power forward as the situation will be hard to maneuver and they’ll contest your shot in 80% of cases. Generally, the best players to enter the post with are centers and strong forwards, particularly when faced with smaller defenders. This sets you up to execute any possible post move and the specific one you go for will depend on various factors like which player you’re controlling, who’s guarding you, where you’re standing in relation to the basket, and more. All NBA 2K22 post moves start the same way: you back down the opposition player by holding L2/LT. ![]()
