    No reason these won't work online. The stagger animation happens because the defender is pushing up to counter the back down. It's kind of a reverse chair pull where you use the defender's momentum against them to to stagger them.
    All it takes for that to work online is to do a back down or two and then the defender will keep holding their left stick towards you with turbo. In that case, your spin will just stagger them.
    Paired with the occasional fade, this can be really confusing to defend against and gives you 3 options as an attacker. Back down all the way to a close shot, spin off after a back down or fade.

    This is the smoothest and closest to the real thing what we all see on tv with the nba right now today, there has never been a game that captures the movements and momentum and actual way the players play like this game. Idc what anyone says I’ve played a couple dozen games of my nba season with realism sliders and I actually like to play with all the players so I pick every team the whole league any game I can play so it’s not really about my team winning. Yeah when I play a game of course but I play with every team. I even make sure every player has the correct shoes and color way on too. This game is crazy realistic if you know how to play it how it’s supposed to be played. ❤❤🙏🙏

      It won't activate every time, but it works best if you have post up powerhouse. I found that there isn't one universal input to this, but it works the best for me while holding R2 and Up on the RS immediately after getting someone caught in a post spin animation.

      I definitely would recommend getting post up poet on at least Gold - so whatever post control gets you there should be the minimum. Middy at a 90-94 if you're a post fade kind of guy, close shot at 92 if you like your post hooks and close shots. Strength should be an 86 minimum!
