NBA 2K17 Defensive Settings Community Wiki

You should have Iggy set to "Gap" on-ball and off-ball, and have everyone else (or everyone else you don't want to leave open) set to Deny off-ball and whatever your on-ball preference is (likely Smother for Curry and Klay, rest is a toss up).

I can tell you from experience that setting a player to Deny off the ball is probably the best way to keep his defender from trying to help and leaving him open off the ball. At the same time, though, you run the risk of getting beaten backdoor by anyone who's set to Deny off-ball, since they're being guarded so tightly on the perimeter.

Say u target specifically KD to double when drive, set off-ball sag off to Iggy. If the cpu assign the guy guarding Iggy to help in double, objective accomplished. Else, quickly switch to the guy guarding Iggy to help cover the guy whom the cpu assigned to help in double.

Guess there's no other way other than this.

Based on what I've seen, if you have literally everyone other than a single player set to Deny off-ball, your team will only use that player's defender to double-team.

Im playing a franchise wit my Spurs, how do i stop my players from randomly running back on defense and staying in the paint leaving their man open at the 3pt line. Mainly Leonard & Green do this after a missed shot by the cpu.

Anytime I play GSW I set Steph, and Klay to "No Help under the "Help Rules. I've conceded that KD will get his most of the time anyway but if you can kick up Steph and Klay you can take it home. Draymond and Iggy are really no offensive threats. Neither is Zaza or McGee if you body up dowb low

I was burned by cpu gsw pnr and crazy out of range 3s numerous times. And I cant understand how the experts here manage to beat them with no sweat.

I recently found a way to "cheat" the cpu, see if u find it helpful. I will set smother (on-ball), hard hedge and go over so the on ball defender will stick as close as possible to the shooters like Step. Once they dribble past the screen, my screened man defender will double up to catch the dribbler. I will switch to this defender to take "charge". The cpu, sometimes will drive towards him and commit a charge, sometimes will try to avoid the charge. If they do so, my on ball defender will be able to catch up with his man in time. Without a clear opening in the driving lane, I notice the weak side help were not triggered.

Draymond - his 3s were deadly. I play on custom HoF sliders.
