Please turn the help defense, and cutter help defense back to were it was on release

The saga continues.

I went into coach settings for the CPU, dropped their help d to 20, and Im seeing a fair bit of help and rotation. Not perfect, but it's there.

Lmao! Drop it to 1 (assuming that should be 99) and tell me what you see. I have no idea all I know is what I’m seeing. And I like what I’m seeing with rotations.

Haha it is an epic journey. Still no luck on the PS5 side. Knew I should have got the xbox

The next part of the story might be that xbx and PS5 are managed by different people and you're team leans towards sim ball while mine loves those open catwalk escorts to the rim. Playing now is giving me horrible flashbacks of 2k21 lol

Man this is weird. So help D slider works in reverse apparently. Now wait till they fix that bug and those of us with low help d sliders complain how we lost whatever help d we had with an update lol.

I hope sliders aren’t backwards. Be curious about the overall “help slider” for cpu/user. I have had that at 100 praying or more help.

New patch! Will see what v8 does.

New patch gameplay. It seems somehow even worse.

Shooting 100% by exclusively running pnr.

On ball defence seems easier, I'm blowing by defenders in iso while falling asleep.

Time to accept the defence is never coming back.

The cpu still sags 10’ off Jerami Grant, daring him to shoot 3s. His current 3pt rating in my franchise is 77. That’s high enough to be defended. I thought it was higher but it’s still annoying. 70s or at least upper 70s should be defended.

These inconsistincies are the worst of all. The basic code rules must be simple and user friendly enough so that we can have an understanding of what happens why so that we grow into the game and get a good knowledge to get better in.

Re: Please turn the help defense, and cutter help defense back to were it was on rele

I forced a drive and I do see help at times. For some reason the processing speed of the cpu defenders just feels a step slow too often. So when help comes it’s too late. The sagging threshold needs to be adjusted.

One game after the patch and the thing I noticed most was more deflections and steals off dribbles into traffic.

This has been happening to me too just starting the last couple days, maybe something to do with the latest update?

Rui Hachimura is being consistently left unguarded from 3, yet they still play tight on Gafford & Montrezl.

Re: Please turn the help defense, and cutter help defense back to were it was on rele

Tried coaching slider help D at 100 and 0. Doesn’t seem to make a difference. Driving is exactly like 2K21 now. No help, no doubles, I just do some dribble moves and waltz in. On the new update.

What a shame. They ruined such a good game. Now the defense is OP where you don’t want it to be, and a cinch where you don’t want it to be.

2K is done for us. It’s basically NBA Jam with annoying perimeter D that’s both easy to shake but also not easy to find a clear jump shot on. This game proves it. They released a game just for us. And it took a couple weeks to patch out what made it good.

Maybe Hachimura gets cold and that's why his ratings go down as they are dynamic in the game from rythm to another, if not it's bad inconsistent. We also have to understand better what has really gone under on that situation. When you see they leave Simmons onball wide opn on the perimeter you smile so.

But then as Smirkin mentioned you don't see cpu sagging off Simmons offball.

Let's not mix the stuff up though in order to get this thread clear as possible.

It's a weird look when they CPU is guarding my Finney-Smith off ball quite tightly (78 3PT rating) but they sag off him once he catches the ball to give the open 3.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

But it seems defense got softer after the update.

What the hell are they doing to Czar? Czar, blink twice if you need us to save you.

This does occasionally happen to me, maybe 1in 8 pnr drives or so. However its not consistent enough, it's like the cpu varies between leaving the roll man open and doubling me (leaving the roll open for the lob or easy pass) or they worry too much about the roll and give me a wide open lane.

Same applies to Post up situations in which you sometimes see when Drummond gets ball low post, your onball defender sags off of him(which is great touch) but then you sometimes see they do the same thing to a big threat like Embiid but sometimes they don't do it to Embiid and tight him as well. So that's confusing to really understand what they are really trying to do esp. on ball and off.
