Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

[damon16]

Wondering if anyone has gotten this move to work yet? I like to know how to use all the moves even if I don't use them in game. I thought I got it to work a few times but wasn't sure. Definitely not on a consistent basis that's for sure. Maybe the control directions are misprinted.

"While engaged in the post, holding the ball with a live
dribble, perform a Pump Fake; once the Pump Fake
starts, press Y"

^^LOL^^

Ok guys this move...a lot of users had trouble with last year. The best thing I would say to do is by using the X/Sqaure button to learn the timing of the move. Just hit the post practice gym. Get in the post (DO NOT use your dribble). Hold L2 And then press X/sqaure button and then quickly press Y/triangle. Do it very quickly. But also remember you can use your dribble to do this move.

Once you get the hang of the timing. Try using the shot stick instead of the button. With the shot stick you can choose which side you want to fake to.

You can or cannot use your dribble first? I am doing it exactly as it says which is by holding a live dribble. So I am posted up with a live dribble. I hit LT and shot stick left or right and then Y right after and I get nothing. I have tried it really slow and really fast. So if I can't use my dribble first then that is my problem. If that is the case though the directions are wrong.

Ummm...how is this hard? It's so simple. When your in the post with a live dribble you press LT+X to pump fake then simply press Y. Unless I'm thinking of the wrong move.

Re: Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

I think they might be getting hung up on the term "live dribble" it sounds by that term like you're supposed to be actively dribbling. What it means is quite the opposite, catch your entry post and DON'T dribble, as you need a "live" (unused) dribble to execute the second part of the move (he dribbles once, then spins)

So after you catch the ball, do not dribble, if your guy has already started dribbling for whatever reason, you will NOT be able to do this move at all. Now, after he catches the ball and has not dribbled, execute the pump fake while holding L2, then hit triangle/Y for the spin part of the move. The move itself is very effective with bigger guys like Shaq and Dwight Howard, as opposed to finesse big men like Pau or Aldridge. I'm guessing that's the part you got a little confused by. I hope that works for you.

DO NOT DRIBBLE. You have to be engaged in the post, with the triple threat still an option. Tap Square/X, and then quickly tap Triangle/Y, and it should be performed, but the key is you must have not dribbled.

Re: Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

Thanks guys. It was a misunderstanding of terminology. I should have known and actually thought to myself that if they were able to pull the move off with an "active" dribble that it would be a travel. Move works find and now I know what they mean by live dribble. Be nice if they said "With Live dribble available" or something which made it more clear.

They do say "holding the ball with live dribble" and you can't really hold the ball if you're dribbling it :P

But it is kind of confusing.

Re: Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

It's not confusing at all. A live dribble means you still have your dribble, basically the triple threat position. C'mon we all should know that.

Anyways, you can chain together the KG shimmy shakes and then do this. For example: instead of just a normal pumpfake, use LT+flick the RS to one side twice, then press Y.

Re: Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

I don't know how to tell you how to do it but it's the easiest move for me to pull off because it's just a button combo haha. I did it all the time in 2K10

Re: Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

Can anybody actually get the post player to catch the ball AND already be in the post position, in the post moves practice? For some reason, in 2k11 the post player isn't backed down into the defender, so he has to take a few dribbles before he finally backs down. This is, in the practice gym. Is it just me? It was fine in 2k10.

Re: Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

^^Put it on pro or rookie...^^

And make sure you pick a weak defender. Dwight will push you out all the time.

Re: Pump Fake to Hop Step Spin (same side)

If you're doing "post moves" in practice. Then if you wait a few seconds he'll post his defender up on either the left or right side. Then put the entry pass in there and he'll already be posted up without using his dribble. If you're doing it in freestyle practice or whatever, you can't mimic posting up without a defender there. If you hit the post up command (L2+R2) he'll just do the protect ball thing.
