    Defensive Settings to avoid points in the paint?

    Hi guys,
    What are you defensive settings to avoid points in the paint (from ruby league onwards)

    I have my defenders on Tight in shooters, and even with shrink the floor, my paint looks like an open highway.

    I have assist strength on 50

    Are there any other tips?

      I have seen the videos

      It is good stuff but with a very negative side (at least for me)

      All these micromanagment takes at least 90 seconds or more, given the fact that all set different settings an on-ball and off-ball defense and screens for players.

      This is not viable as if I use 90 seconds or more at the start of the game I have absolutely no time to pause the game for any additional change I might need.

        Can't you do everything you need to do in timeouts? You'll get much faster over time, too. The settings that fix rotations only take like 20s in total, 4 changes on the first page and 2 changes on their 2-3 Cs.

          Try setting all the screens to go under, and the hedges to stay attached. This way any drives or rolls into the paint will be covered. If the opponent gets wise to it just user on ball and go over the screens if they start shooting 3s.

            'Stay attached' makes the big stick to his man so he can't pick & pop, which means he doesn't help on the drive. So if the ball defender gets stuck in the screen or can't make it in time, the paint will be wide open.

              I use go under and no hedge

              I switch to go over in good shooters. This of course has the risk of the fades.You got to pick your poison I guess

                    I thought so, too, but I just learned that it's actually different. OG did a stream on defensive settings. Basically, they are ACE packages. Shrink the floor = gap off-ball, go under on screens, hedge screens hard. These packages are a quick way to mass set your defensive settings. Individual settings override them, so selecting a package like this and then adjusting individual stuff might save you some time. I highly recommend checking out the stickied defensive settings FAQ in the main 2k forums. This post is a great quick summary. Basically, Sam's settings minus setting pre-rotate to yes for all bigs (except hard rollers like DJ etc) should work well.

                      Thanks for the tip

                      I think this was the case with protect the paint as well though

                      By the way defensive assist strength at 0 is a must to avoid fouls in the paint

                        Yeah, it's always been like that. Can't hold LT in the post, either, as it activates defensive assist even if it's turned to 0.

                            Most of my points in the paint come from abusers of the half court inbound pass to the PG and I try half court press but it is ineffective. I try to help with center and give up a easy dunk to their own center. Limit transition doesn't do anything if using extend pressure on just the PG.

                            Oh and they never throw away the inbound pass either. Makes the game a 100 point track meet and I can't stop it. I have a stacked fully badged defensive line up too. I don't get it when Rodman gets beat back. Using all of Sam's settings for the defense and getting killed. What do you do?

                              I know there is no perfect settings, and I have watched Sam pham but his settings are not working for me. There is two types of player I always play, either the 3 point cheese with all 3 point shooters, and reaching in constantly getting steals all the time (like seriously guys jj redick stole the ball from Steph Curry like what?) OR the players who just pass it to the center and call another player to cut inside or just R2 boost and they get fouled or they dunk all over you. Can someone please give me defensive settings for these two types of players? I'm getting tired of Kevin Durant making contested shots literally falling back over my Shane battier. I'm in the ruby league btw.
