Passing the Ball

[jahmezis45]

Is there Any way to put some extra mustard on the ball so it doesnt get stole out of the air or knocked down or something. its like sometimes ill in bounding the ball b4 half court ill make my man take off and throw the ball to him and it goes like 50ft in the air and give the defense more than enough time needed to run and steal the dam ball out of the air?

hmm well normally you just dont want to throw long range passes unless your running a fast break and have an open lane. If you have a defender near the recipient of the pass he'll usually be smart enough to turn and jump and steal it back. If your not too far you can hold left trigger to throw a bounce pass. Depends who you are passing with alot of times too. A Steve Nash pass vs a ****mbe Mutombo pass may have different outcomes. From what I know though theres no way to bullet a pass down court. I could be wrong ..

theres no way you can make stronger passes than normal, you jus have 2 look and try 2 pass wen ur players are open and if ur not on a fast break your players wont be completely open so most of the time you jus have to hope it gets 2 ur player, also a pas 2 Yao wil have more chance of succes than a pass 2 say Nash- keep dat in mind

on ps2 press o instead of x

To my understanding, even though the PS3 dont tell you the advance moves like PS2(unless I missed it) it should be aggressive modifier with the lead pass like O for PS2 and PS3.

Shift modifier with O or X, I forgot will do a bounce pass. One of the two double tap for a lob pass. Subject to change depending on which system

They did improve passing from 2k5, before you could just whip the ball all around the court any way you wanted. Now, if there's a defender in your path it's gonna get deflected and be headin the other way.
