i got 4 questions for you 1: what position do you play 2: when you bring up smart play, what button do YOU press? 3: does your stealing attribute matter? 4: most importantly what position do YOU play and what buttons do YOU press?
Press LB then A when the opponent has the ball, the only thing is you cant call it when the opponent is the person you're supposed to guard or it won't work, so wait for them to pass it to someone that your teammate guards then call the double team
So press LB which should bring up a bunch of buttons over your teammates heads, then press B, then go to the guy with the ball (the guy can't be the person you are supposed to guard) and wait untill the ball is on your side (doesn't have a body between you and the ball) then press X to steal it
Another way to get easy steals in nba 2k12 (yes, works for both ps3 and xbox) is after your team makes a basket, get in front of the person the guy inbound is passing to. This only works if you're at least three feet away form that guy, otherwise he will pass it to the secondary person. Try it! See for yourself1 :)
+Rita Mendez Yeah, It Works And I Love That Inbound Steal Play. I've Gotten 22 Steals In A Game On Hall Of Fame With That Inbound Steal Play. It Was Alot Of Fun. Nba 12 Is Still A Blast To Play. Already Passed The Steals Career Record In The Game In My Third Season.
Press Left Bumper on Xbox controller, not sure what it is for PS3, then if your my player for example plays shooting guard, press B after pressing the left bumper, and go to the person with the ball. The chart at 0:27 shows what button you need to press corresponding to the position you play as
Make sure you are pressing the right buttons, I also got a tip that I did not know about but haven't confirmed - call the double team from the side of the ball handler instead of directly facing him
Small forward would be square, and point guard would be cross, and this is what you would press after the smart play button which I think is still left bumper
Don't approach the opponent straight on, come from the side. Also only swipe to steal when the ball is on your side. Also make sure you are pressing the right button. You press the button that YOUR player is. For example, if YOU are a shooting guard, press B in the double team menu.
Press Left Bumper and buttons appear above your team's head, press X while the buttons are above their heads, then go to the person with the ball, make sure the person with the ball is not someone you are supposed to guard and instead your teammate's man, after going to them wait for them to dribble the ball toward you and steal it
Thank you man, its alot clearer when you say it in text like that to be honest, may i recommend copy and pasting what u wrote into the description for others who need help instead of them commenting?
Don't hold LT or spam X after the double team call, simply walk to them and they will start to dribble with you and your teammate close to them, wait until the opponent dribbles it to your side like shown in the video as it makes more sense when watched and press X until you steal it
This means you didn't call the double team correctly, press Left Bumper then look at 0:28 and press whatever button that is your player's position, then go to the person who has the ball (can't be someone that you are supposed to guard) and get the steal when they dribble it to your side
So if they pick it up that means it gave you a teammate grade then you should go back to your man, if you want to get steals then wait until the opponent passes it to someone that you don't guard or that's not your man, after they do that call the double team and just follow the video
Well Idk if you read this or not but Point Guard will be the hardest position to do this because if the ball handler is your man you can't do the trick because he'll just pick it up. Although you did say something about playing shooting guard which then it would work.
This method does work! Sorry dude for doubting you! It takes time to get use to it. I just came up with 7 steals, but the next game I was rushing and fouled out, LOL!
The double team is one way to get steals. I've perfected the method of stealing the inbound pass. All you have to do is follow the pattern of the man receiving the ball, press R2 and beat him to the spot where he's suppose to receive the inbound pass, and you steal it almost everytime, if your hands are good & quick.
So press L1 Circle then steal the ball when it is on your side of the double team, also only steal it when the ball handler is not your man otherwise they will pick it up.
Play vision doesn't matter, you'll always be able to call double teams by pressing LB. Although I think it was on Never or Light or whatever option is it off
Okay so three things, one (isn't the problem) You gotta press LB then A then go to the guy with the ball. Two (important) You can't do this when the ball handler is your man or the person you are supposed to guard (won't pick up ball) . Three (important) You can't steal the ball when it isn't on your side, watch the video because it makes more sense when shown (no reach in foul) . No offense but I said the two important things in the video as I wish people watched it.
1. Small forward 2. I press X since that's my position 3. No, works fine at any 4. On the chart at 0:29 you press whatever button you play as I can tell #4 was the big question for you but it is said in the video and you should have read it
Make sure you're calling the double team on somebody that you're not guarding and make sure you're calling the double team with the right button by pressing X after LB
So press L1 then Cross then steal the ball when it is on your side, also only steal it when the ball handler is not your man otherwise they will pick it up.
Press L1 or whatever brings up the smart pass menu or the double team screen then press Circle, then go steal the ball when the ball handler isn't your man
Ok I appreciate details on the comment. Although it seems as if I couldn't help you. You have to press LB then X (said you did), as long as the ball handler is not your man (said you were), then go to the person with the ball (you maybe didn't do this?) then steal the ball when it is on your side (yes you did?) if this doesn't work tell me.
Since you are a point guard the the guy that brings it up court is your man, this trick won't work against your man since he just picks up the ball. So sadly PG kinda can't do the trick, but if there is ever a time where another player is at the top of your half call the double team and the trick works fine.
Don't try and steal until the ball is close to you or on your side like shown in the video (makes more sense when watched) that fixes the reach problem and what position do you play? I'll walk you through it
You can't do the trick when the ball handler is the person you are supposed to guard, so PG have a harder time doing this since most of the time their man brings it up court, but if there is ever a moment when it's not your man or during the middle of a play the trick still works fine
Any but point guard, all positions are the same, but point guards can't do the trick most of the time with people that come up the court since it's their man
What position do you play? I could tell you then but in case you don't want to wait for a response you could google corresponding buttons from xbox to ps3 (lots of sites on it) and it still follows the chart
So LB then X, that calls the double team. Do that correctly then it works. Maybe your controls are different but you should learn what the smart play button is, then press X of course.
Press LB then B, go to the person with the ball, can't be your man, then steal the ball. Don't hit X to steal unless the ball is on your side of the double team. Next time follow the video and watch the whole thing.
this is pretty good advice, but I already average 5.9 steals just playing normal defense, especialy when the cpu try to force a pass on my man. i will have to try this tho :p
I play PS3 it works first when the PG standing from the inbound you tap L1 then O. Then the person dribbling will switch hands dribbling like on 1:32 and then you press Square
I am point guard so i call double team by pushing "A". He comes over and he either stops dribbling or he passes or he makes it impossible for me to reach the dribbling side and most of the time i get fouled for reach-in.
I'm kind of a noob, can you kind of explain that to me in a more, um, easier way? How do I tell my team mate to help me double team the guy with the ball?
1st,make sure your defensive assist A?I is on 100.Second, your steal has GOT to be high (80's, perferrly 90-99),on ball defense(80's-90's) and def.awareness has to be 80-90 as well.It would be best to be a SG because they can creep from the side to trap,like the video.Dont be a center because their on ball defense and steal sucks,and you have to come from under the basket,which can be dished for a easy 2.
by ball handler you mean the person with the ball right? i dont get how they will pick it up, " also only steal it when the ball handler is not your man otherwise they will pick it up" i don't get that part?
Also a easy way to complete milestones for stealing, and scoring! Thanks dude.
Your a wonderful help.
it helps if you have your steal up, it makes it easier to steal and if you have your defensive awareness up because it helps to grab loose balls
i got 4 questions for you
1: what position do you play
2: when you bring up smart play, what button do YOU press?
3: does your stealing attribute matter?
4: most importantly what position do YOU play and what buttons do YOU press?

Thanks for not bashing anything, and thanks for saying something grateful :)

You can still do it but don't forget it won't work if the player with the ball is the person you are supposed to guard

Play vision doesn't matter, you'll always be able to call double teams by pressing LB. Although I think it was on Never or Light or whatever option is it off
Steal rating does not matter, if it's not working try re-watching the video to make sure you read all the tips
I think the putback dunk is LT - X. I know it's very hard to do as the opportunity is hard to find
Okay so three things, one (isn't the problem) You gotta press LB then A then go to the guy with the ball. Two (important) You can't do this when the ball handler is your man or the person you are supposed to guard (won't pick up ball) .

Make sure you're calling the double team on somebody that you're not guarding and make sure you're calling the double team with the right button by pressing X after LB
It sends the double team to the guy with the ball. What matters is that you press the right button on the double team screen
when your choosing your name, pick it out of those suggested panels down the bottom, theyre all the ones the cpu's know how to say.
So press L1 then Cross then steal the ball when it is on your side, also only steal it when the ball handler is not your man otherwise they will pick it up.
Very nice! Been working off instinct & pure talent LOL, but now I see there's a method to the madness.
Two-hander on Wall was FILTHY!!
It's best to call the double team with your point gaurd because every other player is to slow
well alright then, but even b4 i saw this video, i usually get over 3 steals in a regular game. Not much but its really a good start. Subbed.
Press L1 or whatever brings up the smart pass menu or the double team screen then press Circle, then go steal the ball when the ball handler isn't your man
Left bumper on 360, L1 on PS3 I think but its a button you should know cause I think it is the same one as the select pass for offense
when u create a my player, make sure your name is of the following in the box, if isnt not then the announcer just says your nickname
Ok I appreciate details on the comment. Although it seems as if I couldn't help you. You have to press LB then X (said you did), as long as the ball handler is not your man (said you were), then go to the person with the ball (you maybe didn't do this?) then steal the ball when it is on your side (yes you did?) if this doesn't work tell me.

So sadly PG kinda can't do the trick, but if there is ever a time where another player is at the top of your half call the double team and the trick works fine.
It still works as a point guard but you just can't do this trick if the person with the ball is the person you are supposed to guard
Don't try and steal until the ball is close to you or on your side like shown in the video (makes more sense when watched) that fixes the reach problem and what position do you play? I'll walk you through it

Call the double team correctly by pressing the right button after LB
Left bumper won't do that, I believe right bumper does what you just said XD
thanks bro for the vid cause i would get steals but foul out by the beginning of the 4th shit blows but this helps keep doin this
Same here! That or my player sits there swatting at the ball and nothing happens while I'm getting leave assignment penalties...
What position r u? im also thinking of being a shooting guard so that i could do this even easier, what do u think?
Any but point guard, all positions are the same, but point guards can't do the trick most of the time with people that come up the court since it's their man
What position do you play? I could tell you then but in case you don't want to wait for a response you could google corresponding buttons from xbox to ps3 (lots of sites on it) and it still follows the chart
lolall you haved to do is when the foward throws the ball to the point guard try to get it
You have to make sure you call the double team, sometimes I will do it 2-3 times otherwise the AI for the computer will be ridiculous
thanks very useful everytime were down i always get a clutch fastbrake layup
I play SG usually, haven't really started the rest of the game because i just recently got it.
If you're having trouble just try practicing in scrimmage games
and wat attributes do i need to upgrade to make it easier to success the double team. thanks a lot
Not sure I don't have that game but it might since both games probably work on the same mechanics or at least the double team
So LB then X, that calls the double team. Do that correctly then it works. Maybe your controls are different but you should learn what the smart play button is, then press X of course.
What camera are you using? That thing worked btw, thanks :D
You still comprehended that it was Nba 2k12 getting easy steals. Still made a comemnt about it too.
Do u hold LT or anything with it 2 stay with the man or u juss spam the hell outta x?
The steal button for ps3 is square I think. If you meant what is the corresponding buttons for your position you'd have to google them.
how many skill points do you have in Steal? Thanks, your dudes a BEAST!
What position do you play I'll tell you step by step what to press
What is your camera setting? Please answer back as soon as possible, unless someone already knows it =)
Tap L1 and press O and the PG will switch the hand they dribbled with and then Square
How do you get the thing in the top left that tells you the score???
Lets say I missed a shot and the ball is in mid air. How do I do the mid air/assist dunk?
Say I'm playing SG. Do I press LB then B, then go to the PG? Or do I press LB then A, then go to the ball?
okay thanks and will it work if i get subbed as a shooting guard?
what camera do you play on i like that camera and what zoom and height
What is your steal rated at? Your a beast man!
One thing homeboy forgot to tell y'all is that his steals and defensive awareness is up!
Are you making sure you are calling the double team? They will pass it unless you can the play
Press LB then B, go to the person with the ball, can't be your man, then steal the ball. Don't hit X to steal unless the ball is on your side of the double team. Next time follow the video and watch the whole thing.
What is the easiest way of practicing this? Without being in a game
When I press LB it doesn't give me an option on who to send on the double team. Help?
once u double team the opponent what are u gonna press next? im using ps3 btw.
but is more difficult, right? what is the best position to do is trick?
Ok alright thanks I can't add it to the video but I really appreciate it that you said that so I can answer that question now
what's your career high in steals?
this is pretty good advice, but I already average 5.9 steals just playing normal defense, especialy when the cpu try to force a pass on my man. i will have to try this tho :p
what are your steal skill points at?
Does your steal have to be up to do thus?
You can't call the double team on your man, that is exactly what it means because it can't be dumb-ed down anymore
It won't as long as you press the right button (circle for shooting guard)
What position do you play? I'll tell you what to do
Yes it works with forwards, the only position it doesn't work well with is point guard.
I play PS3 it works first when the PG standing from the inbound you tap L1 then O. Then the person dribbling will switch hands dribbling like on 1:32 and then you press Square
What camera settings do you use?
Will the half court trap work or no?
I don't think I had any during this video, but if you want to know the coolest one it is Jason Richardson's. You can do 360s and 360 through the legs
Press LB then B then go to the person with the ball
I am point guard so i call double team by pushing "A". He comes over and he either stops dribbling or he passes or he makes it impossible for me to reach the dribbling side and most of the time i get fouled for reach-in.
I'm kind of a noob, can you kind of explain that to me in a more, um, easier way? How do I tell my team mate to help me double team the guy with the ball?

defensive assist?
Nba12
Nb
sooo i should basically start over, right?
What Camera Angle is this played on?
but when i ask for a double team the a x b y or lb button doesent show up
and if i have another account with a shooting gaurd, when i call the double team, will the point guard pass it to my man for an open 3 pointer?
How high do you need your steal attribute
by ball handler you mean the person with the ball right? i dont get how they will pick it up, " also only steal it when the ball handler is not your man otherwise they will pick it up" i don't get that part?
