Does anyone have any tips on how to stop 3 pointers?

[suh90beast]

Every time I play a game online I get killed with wide open 3 pointers. Someway, somebody is always open. People are dribbling to one corner of the court and passing across to the other side and the dude is wide open.

It's like nobody is sticking their man. They always sag off for some reason.

Press Left on the D-Pad set your defense to one of those sets (in this case Pressure Shooters)

When someone is about to shoot make sure someone is there to consist by either attempting a block or putting your hands up with the right analog stick

There's more pros who know this than me though so I'm sure they will provide something

Before the game starts or when you're in the game just adjust the defensive settings. Put the "play tight" option on his shooters on off ball and on ball. Then you can also press left on your dpad and put the constant pressure and pressure shooters option.

This, or go into coaching -> defensive settings and put "Play tight" or "deny ball" on Off ball defense on the other team's shooters. That will make your guys not run off to help on other people or sag off too much.

Play tight on shooters, man-to-man D, and put your help defense way down.

This is what you do. Sometimes its not as effective as it should be. For example, from time to time if you put "deny ball on someone" they will still sag off a lot to help something that obviously doesn't need help.

I hate when people do transition 3's

OK, so I have been playing this game every year for the last few years. I feel that I have figured out the best way to stop all the 3 point cheese (Especially if you are playing against the San Francisco Chuckers!). Shut the game off. That's the only way.
