Defensive Help, Tips

Re: Defensive Help, Tips

I am in desperate need of playing defense. Please, any other solutions besides what is being said here? Can sliders fix anything? By far the worse defensive game on a console I've ever come across. I get burned all the time. It's almost pointless to play defense.

Any tips for block shots? I can't block a shot to save my life.

I never force to the middle, it seems to make players who are mediocre look good and good players great.

Oh ok I will have to try force to the baseline in the defeisve settings and see if that helps to then.

Re: Defensive Help, Tips

I don't want to sound like a Debbie downer but it's not just defense. It's also breaking through screens and getting to your position spot. It's really hard because there's too much traffic in the game. Honestly, the game must be played on good sliders in order to achieve balance. I just can't seem to move around without getting bumped out of position. IDK, maybe slower speed? What do you guys have speed set to?

I been playing online ranked so idk about sliders, i just know its on SS/Sim

I mean theory. What's the use for this setting ?

And also what does the Play Physical defense POE do exactly ?

Anybody have any tips for stopping midrange jumpers?

I'm at a loss.....these shots are clearly pre-determined to go in...i mean look at the defense the CPU is making shots on....this is ridiculous





and here is just another example of bad ball physics that results in another 2 points for CPU

Well some teams do force middle, Orlando used to force middle when they had D12.

But i like they way the bulls play D so thats what i try to do in 2k they never force middle.

Re: Defensive Help, Tips

These are some good tips guys I can't wait to try them out, because I easily have the worst defensive team in the history of video games. I wrote in another thread, I really don't mind KD or Westbrook making a few contested shots, but when KD is missing wide open looks but making the contested ones, and Kendrick Perkins is making contested pull up jumpers it has me ready to give up on this game.


Oh and I second the guy who said this community is great. Thanks a lot guys.

Re: Defensive Help, Tips

Use the defensive settings. I've found that a combination of going over the screen and hard hedge is usually effective against the pick n roll. If it's somebody like Rondo or Rubio, then go under the screen.

Oh yeah, and use Kayotic's sliders http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-settings.html

You won't see quite as many contested shots going in with those sliders, although it will still happen sometimes. But guess what, professional basketball players making tough shots isn't THAT rare.

Re: Defensive Help, Tips

So setting defensive settings to force baseline is better then force middle.

Pretty much every team forces to baseline on regular help defense, but the Bulls use "ICE" which is more of a pick and roll defense. Some teams trap, some switch, some hedge, some go under and dare them to shoot over the screen. There are a lot of options to defend the PnR.
