NBA 2K14: Can Defense Win You A Championship?

[malky]

Well I have not played 2k14, still rocking 2k13.... but since 2k10, if you want to win and be a monster in 2K, your team needs big time rebounders, it's hard to lose in this game if you outrebound your opponent. Just what I've noticed in the last few nba 2ks.

I did a similar thing but with better defenders and scorers. Still held opponents to a whopping 97 ppg.

I watched a few games CPU vs CPU and defense didn't make a bit of difference.

Zac Arthur,

I get what you're doing with this article, but playing Avery Bradley and Courtney Lee as point guards just doesn't make sense if you plan to simulate the games.

Your logic that Bradley can play point because he is 6'2" and Lee offers a "height advantage" makes sense if YOU play the games, but neither player has point guard attributes (passing, offensive awareness, etc) that make them good for SIMULATION purposes.

Try running the simulation with actual point guards who play defense: Kyle Lowry, Rajon Rondo, Mike Conley, Kirk Hinrich

Good read. Outcome was just what I expected.

a similation engine will never be 100% accurate

Defense does win but you cant be one dimensional on anything. You cant just be a team full of great defensive players nor can you beat a team just full of offensive players. This team maxed out their potential going 39-43. None of these guys are first,second or third options.

Why wouldn't you get jimmy Butler and Thabo Sefolosha or Maurice Harkless or Danny Green or Michael Kidd - Gilchrist
