I'm mostly a park 3 on 3 player and i'm thinking a world wide tuning down. I thought before the last tweak percentages were amazing and realistic. I thought wide open could use a little boost but after running at people with lockdown defender there should be a much bigger penalty now. I don't think dead eye should be as effective as it is at the moment. It's not outrageously horrible but it's frustrating trying to give a little bit of space to prepare for the drive and not be able to close the 3ft gap enough. Also, off the dribble shots are not penalized enough for the super elite shooters. I understand it's a give and take, meaning my inside scorer would essentially never be able to hit off the dribble but i can barely do it now. All in all, mids to 3s are painful to defend with an outside scorer able to come off the dribble anywhere and still be 50/50 from deep but not with someone in his Jersey and if he beats me off the dribble but I'm closing in it shouldn't be this hard to contain a jump shooter. I don't care if he has the best jumper and the best handling, I'm at lvl 20 on defense with lockdown defender. My title is "superior lockdown defender". Sure, he went outside and play making. I bet on my athleticism and defense. I wanna be Tony Allen and give any guard in the game fits. Shouldn't matter their rating. I invested in defense, i should be able to guard anyone. If they're going to go into the paint they can meet my center. But when I'm on the perimeter they should fear me too. I won't say that I'm the best player in the world, but when i invest heavily in defense, i should have some sort of payoff. Right now, there's a stream of outside mini demigods dribbling circles and running off screens popping off the dribble mids and 3s with a little bit of daylight and pulling. I don't care about when they beat me beat me and I'm completely out of position. But if I'm within 3-4 feet of the shooter with dead eye, shot creator, and i have lockdown i would prefer 30% success rate vs 90 from mid and 50/50 from 3.
All in all, contested layups mid and 3 could use a significant drop imo since the last tuning.
