Carmelo never misses

[Shankssta]

Seriously, every time I play online against the Knicks and the Nuggets before the trade, Melo would shoot over 50%. It's not even like he is wide open, I'm challenging the shot, sometimes with 2 guys, and he will just swish a fade away three easily. He's a good 3 point shooter but when people are shooting over 50% from three with him, something is wrong.

the key to big time shooters is to mix it up on Defense

sometimes simple things like run zone on em, and a good timed double-team will alter a timed shooter...cause shooting is all about timing.

another school of thought is to make sure no one else is having a killer game.

you can't STOP Kobe, Bron, Melo, Wade...but you can sure slow em down.

yup, i'm all about mixing the D up, pushing him toward the middle where you have help D. I constantly call double teams on star players if i know i cant hold them out of the pain. i just play tight and direct them towards my teammates and wait for the double to come.

like voltron said, no matter how good your D is, they will still score despite your best effort. all you can do is hope to slow them down

Just played a game against the nuggets in my chise... Melo was pissing me off! He shot 24/30 and ended up with 56 points... but I beat them because he was the only one going off. Final score? 136-132. By the way... I'm the Raptors, without any trades except for getting a second round pick for Ajinca.

Melo is a flat out beast in NBA 2k11. In either MyPlayer or Player lock Association, He kills my SF(The Hulk) on the offensive end of the floor. The good thing about it is I dont feel cheated when he does it, because he is constantly running around screen or faking me out my nikes. And just when I think I have him stopped he dishes a sweet assist to one of his teammates. I'm pretty sure I heard him tell me to hold his belt loop (scared straight joke) the last time I faced him!

lol @ people who still play the CPU ...


I would much rather face a human user than the CPU, at least with a human player there is a chance that they enter the incorrect shot release.

the CPU will never miss as long as they have breathing room.

Usually when playing humans I get people trying to dunk all day or running zone and throwing nonstop fullcourt passes. I like a challenge vs a cheese fest.
