How do I pass up my defender? (Ankle break etc)

[WAA]

Hi, I have a controler. Can anyone step by step me on when it's me vs my defender how or what do I do to get around him or break their ankles?

Everytime I have the ball and I try to go through the defender, they're like a wall and obviously there has to be an easier way to go about getting around or breaking them.

How? Thanks!

1 - First, Don't be a newbie (your character). If you're still buying skill points. You're not a superhero.

1.5 - Pump skills into the related skill. Which would be Agility, playmaking and defence? I believe.

2 - Change your controller settings for your right stick, and set it to "Dribble".. This will give you more directional control by sweeping the stick around and doing trick shots/movement. You can find out a bit more in some of the (god aweful) tutorials.

3 - The AI is set to mirror you, depending on the player skill and the game difficulty. So depending on who your going against, your millage will vary.

I do. But I want to learn how to break ankles before I get the badge. I typically play with the right stick get a double move pass and assist. But I want to make some cross up shots myself because I set a limit of 20 points min. a game so I stay rookie of the year!

Are you playing against humans or cpu? If it's humans, you don't have to do anything, just blow past them. Too many people love to dance, going east and west. I prefer going north and south, straight to the hoop. Most of the time, I hardly touch the right dribble stick.

There are plenty of youtube videos on how to drain the shot clock by spamming dribble moves trying to break opponents ankles but its usually random. The best chance you"ll get is by doing snachbscks or momentum crossovers with behind the back sizeup.

This.

I'm talking CPU, but these moves can be done against people as well. I want to get good at doing this to the CPU first.

First and second of all you need a certain threshold of ball control, and the ankle breaker badge. Anyone can get it, but only Shot Creators and Playmakers (and point forwards) can get the high level ankle breaks that make people look silly. Against CPU you're much more likely to get an ankle break, so it's definitely great fun there.

While ankle breakers -can- be done to people, effective online dribblers rely on momentum/speed boosting. This requires even more ball control, but it's much more consistant than just dribbling and waiting for an ankle break, and its much safer.

EDIT: to more accurately answer you, there is no exact method, I personally catch more ankles by changing directions with Turbo than any dribble move.
