Yea keep the stick more neutral. You have a jostle barrier around you so you need to stay in the little area where you're in between their crosses but moving mostly backward (if they're doing it all the way up the court) and neutral until you see a chance to body them. If you follow them you will always be a step behind. That's not really an amazing strategy anymore, but some people are really good. Like this one guy I played did two stop on a dime crosses into threes, were nice moves. Some people actually know how to cross over beyond just back n forth and it's harder. But mainly stay neutral and make them come to you would be my advice. When you do you can hit up on right stick and make them stop. It's still a good shot to me to pull if someone is alil to the side but most people on games only do one thing well.
Take a few losses by just staying completely neutral and see how little moving the stick is required to stay w people doing that then pounce and body or steal.
Edit : no turbo no l2 until you decide to try to body em. Can hold up on rs tho.
I'm tired of posting on forums for awhile haha. But try that.
