the Sweetspot for Intimidator this year is Silver. I played around with Intense-D Assist setting (SmalL Forward, 6'6", max Speed, 84 Lateral Quickness and Perimeter Defense) and can confirm 30 is the setting that gives me the best controle most of the time. Still sometimes my dude does some weird shit that I don't seem to have controle on. The sliding/skating on ice this year is horrible and when you play against CPU like in MyCareer games you can clearly see when the game starts scripting against you and just pulls you away from the ballhandler that you have to guard or (worse) just pulls you behind him, and your shotcontests don't matter, they nail the 3s anyway.
i felt like a noob when you showed the defensive assist. i was wondering why my dude was moving around to much. too many times i would be fighting for position and then my dude would give it up and run somewhere else. big help there. only thing i run on badges that is different is i use moving truck and off ball pest. because i like to bump into anyone cutting into the key.
I just be busy 😂 I got a lot goin on behind the scenes, but been keeping the daily vids and the quality as high as I still expect, just not as locked into the comment section as I once was
I ran ante up 1's against all interior forces, paint beasts, and glasscleaners without intimidator and I did just fine, as long as you are there for defense you will get a stop and I'm a 7'0 interior force myself. I would still put it on bronze but I wouldn't pass silver 👍🏽
Hey! Try putting PRO STICK DEFENSE orientation on CAMERA RELATIVE, and use right stick in the direction where you want your player to go. It helps with sliding
Holding Y definitely helps a lot, i was experimenting with it and I got at least twice as much blocks since I started doing it, also before I got no snatch blocks, after I get them pretty consistently if I time it right
Notes from 2k21 - heart crusher is the new intimidator - intimidator and pogo stick are nerfed by 50% - chase down artist is still a top 15 badge - Clamps is just as effective on bronze as it is gold
Depending on what build you are it depends how well intimidator is useful. On my pure stretch with basically no interior defense it’s very useful especially since I play as the big man and guard inside centers
I'm trying to decide between a 6'8 pure red pg and a 6'9 pure red pf. I know the pg gets gets more speed and more playmaking with dimer and floor. While the pf gets glass take and big man contact dunks. Any advice???
Depends on your teamates if your teamates can't shoot too well go pg, but if they don't need to rely on dimer than go pf because you can get offensive boards even when out if position depending on how you make it
For the shot meter if you swipe R downwards quite slowly it's gonna appear somewhere on the left side, and if you swipe it fast it's gonna appear on the right side.
I have HOF rim protector, heart crusher and rebound chaser on my big and in the rec I’ve got my glass take three times in one game quite a few times already while keeping the other team cold as ice
HOF pick dodger I believe is needed because I play pretty decent defense. So they end up screening a lot more. Beside that you got your sweats that screen non stop so to recover and let help defense drop I think that's more important than intimidator and trapper
Yeah I have putback boss on gold and I had glass take active and a playshot made me miss a wide open dunk after a offensive rebound by putting his hands up behind me
Yo lakersfan, just wondering if the defense feels weird this year or is it just me. I feel like I move a lot faster than I did in 2k20 and been having trouble getting use to it. Any tips?
The most fun part about this year's grind is having to do it all over again with next console in a few months lol. Good stuff though. The swat block is working well since watching this
When you pass with X the game decides who to target based on the settings there. If you put direction to the max like LakerFan does it will go to where you point 100% of the time, but sometimes it can be too sensitive, so you can balance it out by increasing the Pass Target Distance or Openness. If you put Distance to the max when you press X you will pass to whomever is closer to you, if you put Openness to the max, you will pass to whomever the game thinks is more open. The three sliders must add up to 100%, so if you want to increase the openness, you have to reduce some others and you can balance it out however you think works best for you.
@@nielspeterlyck592 if u ask me I say u don't need it paint defense so good u don't have to jump i have a 6'7 stretch and get stops of course from time to time they will make bs but for the most part its good
Intiminator badge in 2k21 only activates when ur myplayer jumps when defending the opposition, when they start a shot, a bad badge to waste upgrades on!
Intense D help and Box out slider dont work in Park....its only for sim and vs AI games. This + delay + Low lateral makes your Player skating around in Park. Lakerfan has a pure Red build with High lateral Speed and agility , Thats why He maybe dont noticed the Sliders dont work online.
Thinking about atributes combined with badges. Is this true? If you have an 88 steal rating without the badge will you get steals? Why do I need a badge with a 88 to 90 steal rating? Doesn't make sense.
There's a big difference. It limits the amount of space you need to cover. Bronze is weak this year but people get one dope chase block and swear it's OP 😭
Pfft I wish defense was this broken on HoF in MyCareer Defensive leader maxed and my teammates still get cooked. Maybe do to the fact that I'm an 82..? But if it's this deadly in Park and beyond oh buddy.
I figured that I was referring to my players current potential currently you know 2K loves to make you spend on VC I could max at a 92 right now and I've heard you're held back in a sense untill you hit 85 or above.
@@713db7 yeah I noticed that I went and ran the gatorade drills and got my boosts and my guy was definitely more fluid it's just typical 2K and I don't run the offense Lilard does xD
When she has heart crusher on hall of fame 😔
you good?
Underrated comment
U geh
Keep your head up, king
It's cool my boy
I feel like chase down artist doesn’t work as often as 2k20
Honestly that’s good. Chase down blocks are rare they shouldn’t be happening all the time.
Unfortunately I get chase down blocked all the time 😞
You have to time it perfectly in the right circumstances
I feel like its just as if not stronger than in 20
Lekamotu I don’t think so, I haven’t tried hof chase down but silver didn’t get me any

When I tell you I’ve been WAITING for this one...
Rim protector is crazyyy this year... I got one regular block and then got a snatch block and I was almost at team takeover already
I like how in the animation of the vertical contest the ball still goes in lmao

Facts heart crusher on HoF and intimidator and pogo both silver for my interior force PF. Works just fine.
Michael Burton I don’t even run it it’s ass now
@@okwow2679 so guards with clamps on bronze works fine or no?
I've literally been waiting for this EXACT video!!!!
Depending on what build you are it depends how well intimidator is useful. On my pure stretch with basically no interior defense it’s very useful especially since I play as the big man and guard inside centers
Just subbed , needed this info to step my defense up , great vid 👍👍👍
more defense videos! been waiting on this💯💯
Nothin I love more than a tips video from lakerfan
Pulling the chair is a blow by waiting to happen I love when people pull it my big gathers fast for a free dunk
bad at the game
@@snarls-1651 him or the defender
Guard interior defense is OP asf
I'm trying to decide between a 6'8 pure red pg and a 6'9 pure red pf. I know the pg gets gets more speed and more playmaking with dimer and floor. While the pf gets glass take and big man contact dunks. Any advice???
Depends on your teamates if your teamates can't shoot too well go pg, but if they don't need to rely on dimer than go pf because you can get offensive boards even when out if position depending on how you make it
6'8 but go burly and 220 pounds
Lock take and max interior def
6'8 is faster
For the shot meter if you swipe R downwards quite slowly it's gonna appear somewhere on the left side, and if you swipe it fast it's gonna appear on the right side.
I have HOF rim protector, heart crusher and rebound chaser on my big and in the rec I’ve got my glass take three times in one game quite a few times already while keeping the other team cold as ice
Been watching for a couple of months and just subbed cause of this
Nicely done on this video. I learned some things. Thank you. DEFENSE.
HOF pick dodger I believe is needed because I play pretty decent defense. So they end up screening a lot more. Beside that you got your sweats that screen non stop so to recover and let help defense drop I think that's more important than intimidator and trapper
Bro play shots got 99 interior defense change my mind lmao
Yeah I have putback boss on gold and I had glass take active and a playshot made me miss a wide open dunk after a offensive rebound by putting his hands up behind me
My only question is with trapper, does your pg need it too for it to work? Or can I as the big run it by myself effectively?
was thinking the same exact thing. Need this answered asap
It works the same as the "good double team" prompt that pops up. Your PG is guarding his man and you come double with YOUR trapper to activate it.
Tomikaaze no not really it helps tho
Defense Dog been with you since 17 broski always got good info💯👊🏽
Do you think it would be at all beneficial to go speed vert instead of pure speed on your build? I’m stuck between the two
Defense !!! Just subbed bro ✊🏾🔥
Thanks bro always helping
Best big channel for sure

I feel like it’s harder to get blocks this year. Are swat blocks attempts better that regular block?

Defence 🔥always got you bro ✊🏽
Laker fan how do you have the Vancouver grizzlies jersey?
You sir are a GOAT for those of us who like to play good defense.
you can check your takeover on offense if you have the ball in your hand
Thank you so much. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Can someone explain to me what the "pass target direction" does???
When you aim left analog towards a teammate that’s where the ball goes when you pass it
When you pass with X the game decides who to target based on the settings there.
If you put direction to the max like LakerFan does it will go to where you point 100% of the time, but sometimes it can be too sensitive, so you can balance it out by increasing the Pass Target Distance or Openness.
If you put Distance to the max when you press X you will pass to whomever is closer to you, if you put Openness to the max, you will pass to whomever the game thinks is more open.
The three sliders must add up to 100%, so if you want to increase the openness, you have to reduce some others and you can balance it out however you think works best for you.
Tutorial on guarding 7'3 post hook next please 🙏
Don’t press LT or put hands up and try to time a block using Y
You have to jump , dont raise your hands as it will be green in your face
Defense. And yeah on ball is tough. I got a play shot creator . 74 on ball and lateral with gold clamps. Tough to stay in front of folks at times

Im using pogo stick and omg it is still good. Recommend
My friend is using pogo stick hof and it seems useless. I jump as fast as him without the badge
