Glad to hear you are pleased with the settings this year Sam. I remember watching you since 2K17 days when the A.I. was broken lol. Czar did a great job with the A.I. this year
AI is as good as it can get this year. The improvements been insane, I feel for the casual tho lol but that’s what my channel is for, hopefully we can help more players appreciate 2k and it’s details
Very thankful for you every year Sam. You're pretty much my "Bible" when it comes to my 2K MyTeam defensive settings and I visit your channel almost every day. Well done.
Question for you Pham. So let's say I use these settings shown on your vid and then while in game I choose one of the defensive settings such as "Peotect the Paint" wll it mess uo the original setting?
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial how are you so it effects it? I noticed the points of emphasis on defense or offense never stays the same during each timeout I have to fix it. Why?
Sam, Thank you soo much for this, bro!!!! Because of you, I have been playing with some Big YT/Twitch Streamers and people add me after Rec, because I play D from Point Guard to Paint Beast!!!! I'm a Small Fwd build at 6' 6" 261lbs - 2Way MidRng shooting Lockdown 84(mid/close/fade) 80+ Perimeter, Lateral, Rebound, 69 POST D. 17 Def , 20 Shooting, 10 PLaymaking, 1 finishing Badges. I'm D'ing up, out here thanks to Sam!!!!!! ((y'all see how tall/Fat my player is? And, I still guard HARD,bro))
On 2k I play “online now” and Myteam. I started off 2 -3 on both. Since the last video with adjustments I’m now 65-4. Appreciate it Sam! The computer acquiesces to the adjustments well!
@@ecinZtark Last year in play now mode I finished up at 334-55 and in myteam I count remember since they restarted every month. I think I could of done better but the transition from current Gen to next gen on Xbox at first was tough for me.
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial it would be cool if you have some beginner videos introducing us to most of the terminologies. Like hedging for example. From the word I’m guessing it means cheating a bit on defense. Another term I hear you use frequently is freelance and freelance sets. Telestrating the plays and putting the in slow motion with freeze frames. Maybe call a series “beginner’s intro to 5v5/myTeam on NBA 2K22 new gen” so the subscribed veterans will know to skip the videos from this series. I’ve been entertained watching your videos for years, but never put most of it to practice as it goes over my head.
@@TBrown44 so you’ve been good. Although 65-4 is much better. Don’t count it towards the transition. Everyone had the same adjustment. I doubt someone had a next gen copy years in advanced practicing. J/k
Bro I have tried everything. I can only say with a little bit of certainty that it helps to have switch rules go to switch bigs only and drive help to no help. I got splashy testing those out in depth hopefully we hear good news from him lol
Why the setting you set is not shown on the little curt showing how the play runs? It is shown in NBA2k21 but why not here? It shown how the hedging player runs the screen and all.
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial …thanks, it is important to get serious players opinions, especially one who is deep into playbooks and defensive strategies such as yourself….great line of videos you have created
Defense is better and it's easier to shoot so it balances out to the same. I like playing with the older teams tough to get off mid range jumpers and score in paint. I prefer 2k21
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial thanks for the response and I’ve done that but for some reason EVERY time it still makes me reset even the offensive set and POE’s it’s annoying. Have to literally call timeout before the start of every quarter to make sure they playing correctly
Smart/IQ Ball Tips. We need em' bro, this year is great for AI and Def/Off Balanced GamePLay!!!!! Best 2k in a long time!!!!!! All LOVE, been playing since Game 1. 80's babies!!!!
This only works for basic players. The real advanced guys play park and they abuse open lanes. Switch defense and off ball cpu defense is the best to win those if not then 3-2 zone..
Sam you posted all this great content while I’m tryna get a job 😂😂😂

I’m going to try these settings out the pick and roll in 2K has been killing me so far glad you dropped this video 🙌🏾
I been getting killed also
Sam you are slaying it with great content, Thank you.
My guy 💯💯 been blessing with the content all the videos you dropped have helped a lot
Always happy to help players learn to enjoy the game more !
Yea Sam definitely been holding me down since 2k17 took the playbook to play now online and was unstoppable lol
Question for you Pham.

Yes it will mess it up. Avoid touching those once you have manual custom settings set up
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial Thanks bro
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial how are you so it effects it? I noticed the points of emphasis on defense or offense never stays the same during each timeout I have to fix it. Why?
Does this work for current gen?
Mr. Sam is it possible you can do a video to defeat the dreaded 5-Out Cheese?
Do you have a playstation? Getting in game tips from you would be so awesome and helpful
Hi Sam, I’ve been using your tips and I feel like they work, any chance you can do a video for offensive philosophy or play?
I can post some of the plays stuff for you tomrrow !
Can you do a video on points of emphasis nba2k25
What about the pin down screens?
Great video
Liked doe imma come watch later

Psn?
@@MrDweeny thesergiorevenge
Is the option to play physical defense no longer in the game like it used to be?
And it’s like the force you to be in “catch hedge”
On 2k I play “online now” and Myteam. I started off 2 -3 on both. Since the last video with adjustments I’m now 65-4. Appreciate it Sam! The computer acquiesces to the adjustments well!
This one is even better. Trying to get use to switching 1 through 4 and catch hedging with the 5. Guaranteed to improve you even further !
Wow. That’s an incredible turnaround but the sample size is very small. What was your record last year if you’ve played last year?

Do I have to change it every time I plays game?
What's your Coaching help defense on 50?
Any offense plays coming soon ?
What stops corners from dropping in unwanted situations ?
I’m really bad at myTeam so bad that I essentially don’t play it. Yet I enjoy content from Sam and you, RCA.
Bro I have tried everything. I can only say with a little bit of certainty that it helps to have switch rules go to switch bigs only and drive help to no help. I got splashy testing those out in depth hopefully we hear good news from him lol
I taken help Defense down (Coach Settings) to Zero and that seems to help.
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial you gotta set those corner shooters to "deny ball".
They wont leave the corners.
You welcome Pham💪🏽
Will these settings work for current and next gen?
Why the setting you set is not shown on the little curt showing how the play runs? It is shown in NBA2k21 but why not here? It shown how the hedging player runs the screen and all.
Thank you and God bless
How do you guard in the post?
I need this on current gen. Picks are brutal
U need better paint protection then cuz ur bigs are too small
Have any new builds?
How do you stop off ball screens ?
I am interested in what you think as to the difference between this year and last year’s game, i am on the fence as to buy now or wait a few months
Buy it. Is 100 times better, granted is also 10 times harder lol but is fair

Good looking my Baii them settings actual work and I’ve been clamping that bs
I feel like i get chewed when the big man switches on my guard 🤷🏾♂️
Could u pls make a tutorial for stealing ball? It is quite hard to steal without fouling this year💀
I noticed the points of emphasis on defense or offense never stays the same during each timeout I have to fix it back. Why?
Turn ACE off 👍

best defensive settings in the world bruh i got niggas quiting over here
thankyou
How do you stop 5 out cheese ? My team is toxic
@kevin downman it’s insane how everyone does the same thing 😂

Man i love baseball and the game looks super cool but no matter what i cant defend 😂 im too stupid for this game
sam i need to know how to quick change def while playing online please
Best offensive set video?
Sadly, try this vs someone that can shoot and they’ll pull up with curry. Can’t stand the warriors curry cheese!
We waiting on the freelance videos
Defense so good this year. Freelance gonna be real advance lol
@@SamPhamNBA2KTipsandTutorial Either way I’m locked in on every video! Keep ‘em coming!

We need freelance
Coming soon !
Post Defense
Another 2k, another year of getting off balled, screened on every play, curry spammed
hiding things behind a paywall Sam? I am no longer a fan. Your content is definitely not worth paying for.
Still mad at Czar for making the AI so good
