  • Good 2K Knowledge

  • That Hold Down The Paint is lackluster sometimes.

    I'll choose it and all my opponent does is just inbound the ball and run up court straight to the paint that's supposed to be locked down!

  • what about Rip Hamilton?

  • Only thing about using pressure shooters is that the ai will foul a lot

  • This is by far the most helpful video, and you didnn't even have to show gameplay. nice video thanks man

  • What is best defense to run for people that like to shoot? "Pressure shooters, or constant pressure?"

  • thanks man! i'm starting to play better d already, your video is very helpful. but i need more practice with this.

  • They made this game extremely hard to shoot. I use philly and My release is always on time yet I miss a lot of shots even when Im open sometimes It doesnt make sense.. and then I play against teams online like okc and they never have this problem i dont get it

  • bro you forgot to mention man on man and pressure shooters thats also a good method.. do you agree ?

  • bro keep your hair long lol the fro is what's up

  • Thanks for the tutorial, just used that type of defense on a ranked match opponent and killed them by 17

  • do this work for my player mode too?

  • yo you dont know how much that little left button on the d pad has helped my D.if the player has no offense im almost guaranteed a win. i play with timberwolves

  • @skrilla239

    I'll play u right now and give you a guaranteed loss

  • @ChillyCloth you sure about that?

  • @skrilla239

    i know it, invite me when you're ready, my username is ChillyCloth

  • The key is to constantly change d looks and never give up and protect the ball. U will beat most glitchers. If u use Heat than u gay for real.

  • @jeremiahrobertson3 when i see a person is about to get the heat i back out

  • I wanna play u...get st me wen u get the chance

  • I wanna play u...get at me wen u get the chance

  • Great video man. Question bro... off-topic mode. However maybe you could answer it. I've been playing My Player mode. Man its ridiculous...I play as a small forward, so I can't run plays myself the computer has to. Any way to play better defense. I play my guy and double team if needed. But.. they pick and roll with every person on their team then get the wide open 3 and sink it 90% of the time... even with players I've never even heard of before. Any thought or suggestion to help play defense?

  • hey man my boy like to be cheap with 95-96 bulls and keeping using MJ and MJ doesnt miss even if pressure shooter or focus stars how should i play him?

  • my thing is how the hell do i play personal d without gettin beat i mean i try to play d but they never stay with the opponent so what do i do? what buttons?

  • @drejackson1000 use lockdown paint option it works for almost any team,and if the player is getting past you use turbo to stay with him while in defensive stance

  • Is there a way to get the computer controlled players to stop trying to take charges? All they ever end up doing is drawing blocking fouls.

  • people stop and run real fast to beat zone. how u stop that

  • Thanks so much for making this video!! My neighbor plays that run around with Lebron BS and if that don't work he hits 3's like Ostertag, I can't wait to play him with these tips!! Any advice on getting dimes on my player mode

  • I fuck with your video fam....I'm a beast at 2K and u just helped me out even more...Goodlooks

  • yo mr purple, is there a way to stop the constant fast breaks? a lot of times, my opponent will be using the heat or thunder and right off a defensive rebound, they chuck it all the way to their star player to rush for an easy 2.. how do i contain this?!

  • I love your video, but I need some help. My friend uses the magic with dwight. He feeds it into the post. if he has 1 on 1 he scores 80% of the time. If I double, every player on his team can shoot, and he knocks down 3s. how should i defend this. I'd love it if u can help me man.

  • this shitty game defense sucksss.. u can't!!! i repeat u can't!! stay in front of peple Like Rose, they gonna drive straigth to the basket with a lame crossover... fuck u 2k

  • and how can you tell what kind of defense does the opponent play? when you have the ball should you wait for like 3 seconds to see the formation of their defense then execute?

    Your videos are very informational btw and I know you tellin the truth but I just can't seem to figure it out its KILLING me.

    Any team I play they be shooting 50% all the time, on hall of fame difficulty that is.

  • Will this work on a crappy team on hall of fame difficulty??

    Because I've tried man... nothing seems to work.

  • I just used this playing someone who was with Kobe. Got TORCHED for 45 points but I adjusted to his style and finally locked him down coming down from 15 to win. Good looking tho Purp if you ever get a PS3 I would love to play you.

  • good vid because this method will teach people to play with their team and not only their superstars.

  • How can I do this on the ps3

  • @crunkgirl711 press left on your d-pad n u shud see the options

  • what u mean get on ur center & what do u mean by switch do u mean highlight the player

  • after u pick your defense for one possession does do it automatically for the next defensive possession

  • MR purple 0 = G.O.A.T

    

  • Bro I need some tips on defense what if some one got all all around game with kobe

  • gooooooodloooks my dude im a new subscriber right now so say u playin the thunder will it recognize durant and westbrook as stars or just durant

  • how do you overcome the pressure. Example. if you are a shooter and your opponent plays pressure shooter. what do you do? go off with your superstar? find different ways of scoring?

  • @werunsf go to the basket, catch the ball, triple threat, or pump fake head to the basket

  • huuuuge help goodlooks

  • u cant beat me ur black and im asian LOL

  • UwillLuvIt is my gamer tag on 360. Imma beast

  • By focus on all-stars do you mean players with a star on their name? What if theirs an good underrated player like monta ellis without a star on their name?

  • @MononoMayne just put in on focus on stars, and the game recognizes monta ellis as a star, it recognizes the best players on the team.

  • u a smart dude thanks!!

  • Fuk what all y'all talking bout and what's good with a game of 2K12...... I have a 360 and gametag name is TRUliveGamer...... Holla at me and we will see how good you listen.........

  • Imma beast in 2k11 and 2k12 playing online.. lmao making noobs quit

  • susceptible not suspectible... good tips

  • What you press for ps3 ?

  • lmao, those defenses wouldn't work on me.

  • What do you have on passing because i lose alot of easy baskets because of bad passing

  • 2k12 suck shitty players beat skilled players my record on 2k11 53-8 my record on 2k12 14-24

  • how do you get so many views?

  • @zkeeper88 Because he speaks the TRUTH

  • Still playen NBA 2k11 luv the gm so I've been late buying 2k12 which is the better gm?

  • does this work on hall of fame difficulty ?

  • @MrNeyus yea brah any difficulty 

  • @MrPurple0 cool thanks...

    now i have an issue

    I play Raptors and I have been facing Golden States again and again (I quit whenever I just start to lose by like 20-30 and feel no flow at all)

    At one point I decided to see who is the real bad team here. I chose no sides and just let Raptors face the Golden States without me controlling. The first quarter Raptors literally swept Golden State. And as soon as I jump in and decide to control the Raptors all hell went loose!

  • @MrNeyus On top of that I've even simulated the game and Raptors wins by 25+pts. I've reload the game and simulated again to see and BOOM Raptors killed Golden States again by a big margin.

    I'm doing something wrong and I don't know what it is so Im going to ask a few questions -

    When is it Ideal to use specific plays for individual players and when is it ideal to use the D pad, offense plays? And what do I have to constant think about when I'm in offense and on defense.

  • @MrNeyus usually I feel like I'm never ahead of the game, thinking wise thats why I'm always behind but I just cant figure out what the proper approach is....

    I do have to admit that after watching your videos my game has improved a bit but still no win against the Golden States. And it REALLY bothers me the fact that Raptors can out play the Golden States on their own without me controlling them.

  • man.....thats a good strategy....thumbs up if this guy should work for 2k....

  • Tell me why rite after i watched this video i played a ranked match and beat a dude who had the heat 103 to 27. I used that focus on stars and the dude didnt know what to do so there leading scorer was chris bosh with 12 points and i had durant with 62 points, thanks for the stradgy.

  • hey mr purple0 did u hear about the NBA? ITS BACK!!!

  • Crazy, I got this on PS3, normally when I hit the left pad, it pulls up just the defenses to pick, either man to man, 1-3-1, 2-3 ect. But nothing sayign lock down the paint or focus on starts, what am I missing?

  • @Ty33Budd can u add me im trying to start an online association with a couple ppl psn- XJAMALX24

  • @Ty33Budd the left pad button (left arrow)

  • Your record sucks bro mines 100-5 get at me

  • i play 2k basketball to, but i was wondering if u play call of duty

  • hey purple wht is ur gamer tag for 360 so i can add u

  • good looks.. i always check out your vids... took care of those lebron lovers.. 12 games str online.. ps3!!

  • @MAXIMA347 ADD ME PSN XJAMALX24

  • Yo thanks I got this nigga who only play with lebron and I atop him using that info

  • suspectable......

  • I present a challenge to you bro no disrespect I jus luv playin real players, Gamertag GodzSoulja76

  • Good vid man

  • im kinda of mad i bought this s#$t..same glitches and lack of defense to be played...i get durty worked online...so im about to logoff for awhile...

  • You know what I find so frustrating about defending Lebron, is that you can't. On transition, he runs at 130 mph and I put my defence at 1-3-1, so he can't penetrate, and I made it " Lock down the point." Yet, when I was KD and Ibaka w/ Harden and Parkens in the paint, Lebron runs, and literally he knows out one of my guys as if they were trying to set a screen when I didn't even press B, and he get's an AND-1 dunk. Its so dumb. When I screen infront of the paint to get a charge, lbj jumps over

  • btw, I appreciate the video mr.purp but with this nba 2k12... There is no such thing as a "lockdown D" coz scoring in this game is very easy,. Not trying to take away something from you but the problem in here is the GAME, maybe they did it so they can have something to furnish next year.. kinda sucks...

  • I am not complaining that they use the heat, the truth is I want to play against them but when you try to raise the gap of your lead, some stupid shit happens... like there was a keep scores close settings. You try to make your teamates wide open then the other team will just score out of a great defensive play...

  • You turn the defense to focus on stars when your against maimi, but the sad truth is, Lebron and D wade will still score. I am not a bad player, definitely a defensive player... but this shit always happens! they just come driving the lane boldozing centers and power forward.. .and what do you know they knock'em down+ a foul...

  • thx bro u helped me out big time!!!!

  • @yunglebron230...you gotta use double teams and and follow The ball..I always leave someone on purpose...so the can pass it to them...easy steals....

  • this option doesn't work all the time. steph curry was lighting my ass up when i set it on pressure shooters. or even when im playing dirk in the post.

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah, game still sucks.

  • you wanna join my association its joefrazier pass is joefrazier its lower case and no spaces.XBOX 360... nba 2k12...its a draft message me if you r going to join......add me also my gt is twonice85

  • you must really like that hat

  • I knew that d-pad existed but i didn't know how good that actually works i play the hornets and i was against miami the guy started running around wth Lebron I did 'focus on stars' Lebron finished the quarter with 5 turnovers aha thanks you purple

  • Doesn't matter you have to wait 40 minuets to find a game anyway...

  • Good video fam!

  • Good Shit.... I am still learning the game but this is nice to know cause I am running into the John Wall users.

  • Yo A..Ive been bussin @ss with 1-3-1 prior to this..Ima start using that..((side comment)) yo I had someone call me a bum...cuz he couldn't score...when I was using zone..

  • i was solid on defense in 2k11 but i couldn't understand why i kept losing in 2k11. last night i took ur advice and won 3 straight, only giving up less than 20 pts in the paint a game, playing with the pistons. thanks Purp!!

  • I give up on My Player. I really tried to stick it out but its too damn difficult. My teammates are fucking stupid, the animations screws you up, and even when I have perfect release I miss my shots while I'm uncontested.  I don't mind a challenge but they need to lighten up on the bullshit on this game.

  • Purp, the 2K12 patch is dropping soon, you gotta do an update on all of this shit when it drops. Word.

  • Thanks MrPurple0..I've been waiting a long time for this..now iknow that's what i'm missing on my game coz i've been always doing straight up man to man with none of thos settings. that will help my def. thanks!

  • Susceptible is the word your looking for. Good shit tho. I didn't even know about that feature.

  • This strategy actually works. I just used constant pressure with the full ct press and I forced a lot of turnovers. I got my opponent online frustrated and made him quit. Score was 38-28 in the 4th.

  • Nice video bro very helpful

  • I fucking hate 2K12's upgrade of Lebron. I swear, my record is 26-3 atm. And I was 26-2. I was low key teams because I actually know how to play, not abuse superstardom. So I was using Phoenix, this fucking kid seriously dunked over 4 of my players when I was double teaming Lebron. And whenever its transition, lebron literally runs at 130 mph and dunks it even if I have my center contesting his dunk. He;s so overrated in the game, was tied and the dude abuses lebron and goes up by 13 fucking sad

  • @lmaostrnoob I have been there before. same situation but using Cleveland. My opponent and I were tied until the beginning of the 4th. I made the mistake of going 1-3-1 and Lebron just splits it and dunks. It was close until I lost by 8.

  • Nice tips

  • You don't need coach settings if you use the d-pad, I haven't used or change my coach settings once and im fine.

  • @MrPurple0 you still could for a more specialized defensive plan. like in the last few seconds of a tight game, you could set the D based on how you predict the opponent might play.

  • DONT DO THE D-PAD ... IT CHANGES YOUR COACH PROFILES AND OR YOUR DEFFENSIVE SETTINGS ( DENY BALL ; PLAY TIGHT ; OFF-BALL ETC ETC ) IT FUCKS UP EVERYTHING ... JUST SAYING O_o

  • Lol, Purp got a new outro.

  • This is a good video bro i like this one ! Check out mine @MrPurple0

  • Wow finally lol

  • put more vids and wen hdpvr

  • good sht.

  • @Mrpurple0 add my gamertag hpcuba I wanna play you on NBA 2K12. ima beast. That goes for everybody else who wants to play me

  • Thanks for the vid man. I wasnt even using the dpad on d just offense and on d just trying to get better with my on ball d. Your tip makes my d really tight now, big ups

  • i suck at this game. this should help

  • you should make a video of you actually playing 2k

  • @BB4llF4n4tic lmaoooo i just noticed i aint never seen this nigga post a vid of him playing 2k but he does know what he talking bout in this vid cus i use that method against the heat with people who just try to pound it in the paint or throw up threes

  • I was too good in 2k11, but 2k12 im shit as of right now

  • @JReel17 so do i

  • The left keypad is useful for a player that knows what he's doing but Mr Purple 0 it sounds like your condoning computer defense 0_o

  • @ValentineNICEEE If someone plays on ball or off ball defense on me dosent matter, 2k is about making adjustments and adjusting to what your opponent is doing.

  • @MrPurple0 I understand that & i agree .. But you're saying on defense when playing the Bulls, you're going to *focus on stars* & then play Keith Bogans so your computer can lock down D. Rose

  • @ValentineNICEEE ok let me break it down, you sound like a striaght up player, regardless what video I make or dnt make, your gonna run into people that play on ball d and peopl,e that dnt, this sort of video was really just to help those struggling with defense, I alwyas play on ball but I know people who have trouble playing this game so they are gonna have to play off ball, its not like you still cant expose them if they are playion "focus on stars" and playin on bogans, there are plenty of

  • @ValentineNICEEE of things you can do, and its not the ultimate defense either, trust me, a good player will never lose to someone playing cheap but it can be frustrating, I hear what your saying but the focus on stars will completey take you out ur game, theres still gonna be skill required to win the game. but this sounds like a good next video "on ball and off ball defense in nba 2k12 lol

  • @MrPurple0 aiight bet I get what you saying now *clicks subscribe* lol .. Get a PS3 tho !!

  • When you going to get a new hat? LOL

  • good video but good players like myself and others lol will always know how to adjust to whatever defense someone is playing on you.

  • 4th view crazy

  • dang lego first comment and view lls
