When You Should/Shouldn't Use Turbo.

[DC]

I don't want anyone associated with OS to not understand that you can't just hold the turbo button like you did in the past. Turbo conservation will be KEY in 2K10. So use this thread to share whe you feel turbo should and shouldn't be used.

I will start it off:

Offensive/Defensive transition is an instance in which you should be sprinting. ESPECIALLY defensive transition.

Re: When You Should/Shouldn't Use Turbo.

You should sprint to help on D, or to recover after helping.

You should sprint in "shoulder to shoulder" offensive situations. e.g. coming off of a screen without the ball. Using a pick properly. Just a burst to get clear, and cause the defense to compensate.

SHOULDN'T use turbo after the opposing team makes a basket.

I think like in real basketball there are times when you run fast, others where you don't go at full speed.

Here are some good times to use turbo:

Fast break (Offense/Defense)
Recovery on D
Getting open off the screen or pick
Closing out on an open shooter

Re: When You Should/Shouldn't Use Turbo.

Gotta watch it on that open shooter though. Better press that Y button from further out. You can put yourself on somebody's highlight reel if you over sprint on a close out.

Anyone watching the KonSoleKIngz stream should know how NOT to play in regards to Turbo usage

I'm just worried about fast break situations. I just want to see h it works...before I comment on it.

Playing passing lanes also necessitates turbo usage

Re: When You Should/Shouldn't Use Turbo.

When trying to get a first step past your defender on the perimeter, but slowing down when/if help comes.

Re: When You Should/Shouldn't Use Turbo.

When your defender is slower than you, yet he's pressing tightly.

When you have your defender isn't in position.

When you're getting back on defense.

When you're on a fast break.

Did I miss anything?

I hope they improved matchmaking because this feature is going to separate the noobs from experienced players greatly.

People will find a way to exploit the game.

I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment about matchmaking.

However to respond I agree, but what I want to see is aggressiveness in rectifying the exploits as they arise. i.e. dropping more than one patch

The turbo meter is a good concept, hopefully it works, but there is no excuse to do what they did last year and just let glitches like the timeout glitch go unfixed

Re: When You Should/Shouldn't Use Turbo.

Should use:

- Transistion Defense
- Once you've beaten your intial defender off the dribble
- Recovery from a blow by
- Running a fastbreak

Shouldn't use:

- Bringing the ball up from halfcourt. Unless you're the Suns I guess..but even then this will drain your bar quickly

- General movement while on offense or defense in a halfcourt set.
-

I'll edit my post if I can recall more...

From the looks of the konzolekingz stream, you can use turbo all you want and not be punished for it.
