Any tips to get better?

[terryp1202]

I'm loving NBA 2k14, but I'm not the best player. I can do the basics pretty well, but if I get into any trouble, it's like I just can't deliver. If my opponent leaves me behind by 8 or more points, I never comeback. If my opponent's defense is good, I can't really shake it at all. Any general tips on how to be better overall at this game?

I do not know much about the game since I have not played it. But in past NBA 2K games, one had to make use of the play-call features built into the game as a means of success. If you are not doing this, I highly recommend it--both on offense and defense. Also, watch what other (better) players do and try to imitate it in future games.

Learn the dribble moves with the thumbstick (look it up on Youtube). It'll help you shake free if a big guy tries to chase you out all the way to the perimeter. You also gotta learn to pick and roll. Your teammate will set a screen and you can dribble towards the direction his back as facing and he will get in the way of your defender. After your teammate sets a pick (circle to call for a pick), he'll roll towards the basket and you hit him with a pass. Sometimes you'll have a clear lane to the basket instead. Sometimes he won't roll and hang back behind the three to get open (this is called a pick and pop). If you're on defense, try to control the Center or Power Forward since they can block shots at the rim. Anticipate if a guard is driving towards the lane and come over early to block their shot. I can give a lot more but those are the very basics.

My best advice is to just practice, against other people rather than the computer if possible. I find that I've become much better at the game over the course of this year being that I'm constantly playing against other people in my dorm.

İ think you should make practice as much as possible.You should learn and do attack variations like pick&roll. When you start to make attack variations,you can easily shoot basket.
