MODS I know there is another 2K post but many folks need assistance with this. Would you be ever so gracious to keep this post open. Thanks
You HAVE to practice these moves this year. Don't get upset at the game because you don't know what to tell it to do to do what you want it to do. Justlike a female, you have to do the right things to get what you want.
Lets start off with the actual MOVES. Credit Goat from OperationSports

-Post - (Steal (onball)
While playing on-ball defense in the post, press X to attempt a steal. You have a higher chance of success if it is timed correctly when the offensive player initiates a post move or shot.
Now lets take a more in depth look at how to EFFECTIVELY execute these moves. Credit to my man Born over at Operation Sports.

*****First Post Edited 10/8*****
Other Iso-experts are more than welcome to contribute to the thread.
1. Use your Face Up (L trigger) to turn your character around, NOT the Left analog
The first issue I encountered with Isomotion was having my character turn and spin when I wanted to start facing the basket to initiate dribble penetration. Even if you're not pressing turbo, spinning your character around quickly doesn't seem efficient this year, partially because the Iso is taken off of the left stick. The most important situations to use this are when you are rebounding, or running around the perimeter, and your player's shoulders are no longer facing the basket. This will not necessarily put you into a full on FACE UP animation. It just rights your shoulders to the basket as quickly as possible. Remember, in real life we can't insta-spin back to the basket if we're completely facing away. This is a very reliable method to keep your dribbling flow while maintaining camera relative reliability.
2. The Turbo has variables--everything isn't a sprint
Basic Turbo(Rtrigger) situations:
-Holding R and running in any direction
-Holding R and standing still
-Holding R and walking
The first option will allow you to do isomotion, but the momentum may put your character in an out of control situation. Let's focus on the third option, and how it helps iso-control. One way to combo moves together is to do an isomomtion move, ease up on the L stick, then do another isomotion move.
For example, you want to spin into an cross over.
You might try: Hold R--Spin Left Stick Away from Ball Hand--Still Holding R and pushing in a forward direction--Flick Stick Back to Original Ball hand.
This is a difficult exection. Not saying you can't do it at all, but I've seen the spin take the player all the way to the basket using these controls. The bolded part is causing the problem.
Here is a better way: Hold R--Spin Left Stick Away from Ball Hand--HERE IS THE CHANGE, EITHER RELEASE R FOR MOMENT, OR EASE OFF OF THE L TRIGGER--Flick Stick back to original ball hand
The big difference is in the second execution your player won't go into more animations after the spin. So if you're comboing moves together, chill out after the first move, either by releasing turbo, or easying off of the L stick. The isomotion is more effective this year, so you have time to assess the effectiveness of each dribble move during the combo.
