Lane Pentration

[Flockers]

I just bought ESPN NBA 2K5 last night fot Xbox. I played Street Mode ande practiced for a little bit but I cannot, no matter what I do, get any penetration into the lane. I'm playing with the Nuggets and everytime I try to penetrate with Andre Miller or Carmelo Anthony the ball is stolen or I can't even get around the defender.

Any tips on how to get lane penetration without losing control of the ball?

have u tried using hop steps and spin moves?

Yeah, it works sometimes, but the ball gets knocked away or blocked 3 0ut of 5 times which gets rather annoying.

Thanks for the help though, it works to an extent. :D

well when you do it, you gotta release the ball pretty soon. You cant just wait after you do it. it becomes less effective...(better yet, it becomes pointless to do it :wink:)

try passing the ball around like the kings do. you're bound to find an open man that will drive it into the lane. also, try running plays instead of just spinning and juking past everyone.

you can just try to get by them by just dribbling around them for a while trying to find a hole and just lay it up

iso motion works too, you move the right stick left or right
<---- O ----> these ways to drive to the hoop
to make the defender give you the matador defence ie. the ride the side of you while your driving in, takes some practice but after a while u can be penetrating.

Start w/ the stepback move to create space... you can't do a crossover of pull off a clean move w/ somebody all up in your face.
