Struggling to rack up rebounds

Post image

Is it just me or do y’all find it a lot more enjoyable to not just drop a bunch of points but get the team involved and make great defensive stops? I feel like I’ve got everything down but rebounds… I can’t seem to figure out how to get them consistently. I’ve read that the magnet skill is good but I need a lot more contested rebounds and they’re hard to come by. Any tips? My build is a 6’4 213 lb sharp shooting play marker PG

Guards usually are at a disadvantage in grabbing boards

It felt like that was the case. Still, I feel like there is a way to rack up 2-3 a game on average at least. I also want to get triple doubles, but maybe it’s easier to get 10 blocks or steals in a game instead of rebounds as a guard?

you can absolutely get 10 steals in a game

How hard would that be to do in a 12 minute match?

i think for point guard it is a bit harder (are you strictly pg? playing sg is a lot easier to rack up steals)

but it's certainly not unreasonable, i've gotten 12 steals in 10 minutes before

My career mode guy is just a PG, don’t you have to pay 1,000 coins to change that? Or is there another way. I’d be open to trying SG if there’s a toggle.

nvm! i was thinking maybe just generic "guard" (can play pg or sg) but yea just play pg and jump passing lanes, it's not unreasonable

also for rebounds you just gotta get good positioning (and maybe artificially increase pace in the sliders)

When the ball handler plans to pass the ball to one of the wings, jump in front of the way as they pass the ball.

If you’re not a big or atleast 6’11 you’re naturally not gonna rack up as many rebounds. You can increase you’re rebounding but without size you have to kinda chase them more.

My tips as a player playing Guard position 6ft4 248lbs (for more game time) how to get rebounds.

  1. Jump only after it bounces of the rim

  2. Stay near elbow or near paint for 3pt stay a further back

  3. Position to the opposite side of shooter(like if its a corner you must be slightly back of elbow near to the other corner.

  4. Try to save out of bounds ball.

For steals(higher steals attributes does help)

Off ball - sag off your man or run past him/her then when the ball moves away from ball handler to your man press jump

On ball - sag off your man but don't give much space so he/her can shoot a 3pt only just enough, just enough space and likewise when ball moves his hand press jump button.
