Biggest thing with defense is to not let 1 bad possession ruin your next defensive possessions. Too many people especially in rec, start to get cooked and they completely lose control
@@user-qh5kn6mp4i what console you on? I run a 6’8 lock, he’s fast as hell defensively, but on offense he’s a wing or corner sitter/cutter. I’m a support role on offense while usually being the anchor on anybody 1-4, not built for guarding bigs😂 but anybody under 7’0 I can clamp to hell
I never comment but i gotta give you props.. that sae ball hand tip was legit. That will help 100!!! One you can add because people will always reach, The only time/Best time to reach is after the player switches ball hands. Its like a 20% boost in steal success! Keep Bossin Dirk!
Another tip I learned more for rec tho if your guarding someone looking to rim run watch behind you and see where the lanes open up at and move that way
Pleeeease do a Zone Defense tutorial --- so many people don't now how to properly play it lmao, it's maddening. Being able to direct them to a tutorial via your channel would be 11/10
Tbh bro real life translates to 2k to an extent i hoop IRL and use things i do in person to play in 2k and they work so just break it down how you would if it were real life
@@ThinkingCap_ngl I can't play basketball, more of a football (soccer) guy myself, I'm goated on fifa but 2k is a myth, I can't defend for shit, and the way I attack is literally freestyle bro, I don't know how to run plays, dribble drive or nothing 😂 if u on the PS5 I could use a hand ngl
Great vid man. May i also add, when you to turn with the defender, keep your left stick on the edge and turn it in the direction of the player you're defending.
Damn bro. I just got this game and you making this into an art. I find it irritating when they are checking the ball, that my guy which is active is not assigned to defend the guy receiving the ball, so my guy is open on the other side. Is there a way to call him into action and free up the other guy who is active to go guard his guy? So basically automatically changing to whoever is supposed to guard the person who has the ball? Does that make sense?
There’s nothing you can do if you’re behind their hip and they have slithery and limitless. You have to be bumping them to interrupt their launch animation- it’s the only hope. But you really can’t stop high attribute slashers w gold and HOF finishing this year. Unless your bug comes to help or you switch over to put him in position in team play online game modes.
Them bail outs have me buying a new controller and blood pressure medicine 🤣. That shit is ridiculous some of the stuff that be goin in. Just really wish interior Defense was focused on more.
@@hoesmad6193 so like if he just pressed X on PS5 it was just automatically throw to the open guy and not the guy highlighted? I dunno not a big deal, a lot of those settings have very vague explanations that leave me wondering what the hell its for lol.
Yo my donny I can't win on levels past pro level tbh. I'm new to nba I can do the triple threat challenges by bullying a small player but the actual matches I get killed. Don't understand when it tells me to press a button to defend can't I turn this to manual?
@@youngdirkk In normal games I can't seem to beat AI. Triple threat isn't too bad. So for the spotlight challenges I'm missing out on the last objective
Sooooooo this is a guide for people that don't play basketball irl. All this stuff is common sense. (This comment does not apply to kids, purely talking about older teens and adults)
This is coming from literally the top lockdowns in the world. I wouldn’t give you bad tips, my job is to make you better. Every top lock in the world uses 0-15 for defensive assist strength.
@@youngdirkk Respect! I change to thumbs up. Good tip to take off Arrow.. even thou it can be used for spacing and to pull ur man to defend for close out. If your good can use 0 defense Ai setting and not slide. If ur sorry I use 100 and spam with scuf. I seen “pros” “comp” or high rep do both in city park or ante up.
This is the first 2K I ever owned I always played fifa I was tryna apply the defense fro There into here and tell me why L2 was my first thing I was doing. But yeh bro this is harder than fifa lol
Ha! I have the best 6’9er post 🏤 fader 🎚 in the whole 2k23 world 🌎! Dem Bois been asking me for my post build but it’s not! It’s a glitchy build that hits agent 3 rangey 3pters, insane middy mid range daggers 🗡 with dead eye and blinders 👨🏽🦯, and post hop shots in randoms and comp players eye balls 👀 with contest, it’s deadly! Maybe I’m just a goat 🐐! Maybe I’m just HIM! Splash 💦 green lights like I’m on the streets with no traffic! I have the GODLY BEST 2k23 swaggering build! I’m him I’m himothty! I’m himigod!

Word I was about to say the same shit 😂
u don’t think he did that on purpose😂😅
My girl was saying hell yeah in the beginning 🤣
Facts tho
Biggest thing with defense is to not let 1 bad possession ruin your next defensive possessions. Too many people especially in rec, start to get cooked and they completely lose control
Been running 2k since 2015 so I’ve guarded the actual dribble cheesers😂 these new school guys are actually horrendous at what they call “cheesing”
facts
Space creator shots the wave . Not a good dribbler . But really good at timing awkward / difficult shots . Almost no one ever expect them.
Been playing for about a year . Been playing 3v3 proam this new szn 7 so far 23-2 avrg 14 ppg 67% 3 pt 69% fg

Appreciate it bro
@@youngdirkk aye bro I have a question. Do I hold L2/LT or do I keep tapping it on D?
tap but now I go on and off throughout the play
A defensive badges update would go great with this video
I’ll drop one next season
I think
@@youngdirkk ok ✅ I can’t wait

Key to defense ....99 steal and spam in the lanes..
Lol true for some
Bro I've been playing 2K before it had numbers LOL your tutorials work 💯 I've seen Improvement after only an half hour in the lab🎮. Respect!!!!!!!!
appreciate it fam
thanks bro
Any time
The right stick is definitely better than spamming block but it’s so tempting to try and throw someone shii out the park
lol facts
GREAT VIDEO FOR REAL...
appreciate it bro
Even tho I don't play nba, this year I would be tempted to get 2k24, and this can be a game changer for a literally a noob
Thanks bro :)
get it bro!
@@youngdirkk i will,thanks brother can't wait for next year tutorials :)
W tutorial🔥🔥🔥
thx fam
Watching this because EVERYONE has been cooking me, even bots. Two dudes had me so beat they quit out because I wasn't enough of a challenge 😭

love to hear it
you're the best
Bro i was the worst defender in the group now I am the best thx for the help
This made me hella happy, glad I could help
Wait what!?!?! Broo!!! The way my dad just looked at me!!!! You’re about to get me kicked out the house bro😂😂😂😂 Tf bro😂😂 shiiittt!!!
LMAOOO
Nice vid bro
Appreciate it bro
I have that I it hlap me it is the best in the game
The reaches are so inconsistent I removed gold glove and have been doing way better just playing on ball defense
Yep, my newest build has bronze glove, I don’t wanna get burnt on defense reaching
Tnx. And what about the badges? Im PF, do you use pogo stick and break wall?
I use pogo on certain builds, depends what game mode im playing, I dont set screens so I dont use brick wall
@@youngdirkkbrick wall is used to drain stamina to when you guarding the person tested it out a lil bit ago
I’m just starting to play online I have a 90 sg build what video of yours should I watch for beginners
watch the dribble videos and shooting videos.
Yo, I’m ballin like a God Goat 🐐 bhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
Glad I could help 🐐
i need them to put defensive animations in 2k24 like different defensive stances and different swipe steal animations
🐐
Damn bro. I just got this game and you making this into an art. I find it irritating when they are checking the ball, that my guy which is active is not assigned to defend the guy receiving the ball, so my guy is open on the other side. Is there a way to call him into action and free up the other guy who is active to go guard his guy? So basically automatically changing to whoever is supposed to guard the person who has the ball? Does that make sense?
on 2s or 3s
What is your interior & perimeter on?
on that build 92 perimeter and 70 interior I believe, block matters more than interior and its 87
what if im 6'1 w only a bit of interior d and 86 perimeter d
gotta guard corner, playing d on a small build is hard
What if you have the gym rat badge and on top of that you workout have you in that case +8 attributes?
Gym rat does not give you +8, it hasn’t since like 2k20
Yo bro, I’m sure you’ve peeped limitless takeoff/dunks is OP this year on next gen. Any tips for how to guard that since clamps don’t really work?
There’s nothing you can do if you’re behind their hip and they have slithery and limitless. You have to be bumping them to interrupt their launch animation- it’s the only hope. But you really can’t stop high attribute slashers w gold and HOF finishing this year. Unless your bug comes to help or you switch over to put him in position in team play online game modes.
just gotta stay in front as best as you can
Them bail outs have me buying a new controller and blood pressure medicine 🤣. That shit is ridiculous some of the stuff that be goin in. Just really wish interior Defense was focused on more.
lol bailout goated badge
It’s not much of the defense is jus dunk meter jus OP
Nah the first 5 sec is wild pauseeee
lol
do you use the fast shuffle with L2+R2?
Nah just L2
What are your defensive badges
Checkout my last defense badge vid, nothing really changed
Do u hold down the whole time l2 or do u go on and off it
I let go
Absurdly heavy pause on first 5 seconds of the video
lmaoooo
Can someone explain why he has his pass target openness up to 98 and the other two down to just 1, like what does that even effect?
He only passes to whoever the most open basically
@@hoesmad6193 so like if he just pressed X on PS5 it was just automatically throw to the open guy and not the guy highlighted? I dunno not a big deal, a lot of those settings have very vague explanations that leave me wondering what the hell its for lol.
How do you time it up when you do reach? I have a 99 steal build but am constantly getting reach-in fouls in the rec
Wait when you see them switch hands with the ball.
What he said, and go for bumps and blitz
You don’t want to be too close either, unless you are going for a bump steal. Couple steps back and time up the cross.
Also if your man has hof unpluckable he’s gonna be pretty much impossible to rip regardless.
plz make the defensive badge video i need it for my next build🥺 i wanna know if challenger is a good badge or not🙏🙏
Watch my last defensive badge video, nothing really changed since then
Go crazy dirk 😭
yessirrrr
pls say pause.
Lol

lower your difficulty to rookie

We all love some good d is crazy 😂😂
Lmaoooooo
We all love some good D right.... PAUSE

Ngl big pause
Hey durk im on Current gen instead of Defensive Assist Strength it shows Defensive Assist with Intense D 🤨, is it the same thing?
yes
What is your clamps on?
my main builds have gold and silver
@@youngdirkk cool, thanks
Nope we do not love D....now if u are speaking about defense then i will agree but say it bro DDDEEEFFFFEEENNNSSSEE see is not complicated

Okay but how do you guard random 85 overall 6’2 players on MyTeam lmao
