Tight pressure for harder game.

In the game, switch the comps pressure to tight, then go back to your team! It works well, they play at lot better on D. Harder to get off shots.

I used to do this...especially with the older Live titles, but I don't think it's possible in Franchise of 2k3.

If so I'd say it's more important to change the Double Teams than the pressure. Plus tight pressure on everyone isn't always the best set up but changing it for some people would make things much better.

It does work in franchise, I did it. Well, use at your discreation, i think its a lot more realistic, they dont give you room unless you work for it. Will also bring down FG % for people having trouble with dat

Re: Tight pressure for harder game.

That's great if it does b/c I know it'll make a big difference.

Anyway, this is what I'm saying...

I'm TMac and say Dirk's guarding me. You put it on tight coverage and I'll juke and be MUCH more effective. Dirk's not a great defensive player and is definitely slower than TMac so he'll get burned big time. Pump fakes should do the same thing. I'd set it up the same way I set my own up. I don't play tight on everyone, regular on everyone or loose on everyone...just go by the matchups.

The reason I said the doubling is even more important is b/c that auto double leaves a lot of openings if you move the ball around enough, especially if it's set to auto double everybody. Plus not doubling in the paint on good post players leads to many many easy buckets, and the default auto won't double in the paint any more than on the wing.

My guess is this find will change everything for anyone that still thinks the game is too easy. This was the change I made in previous 2k games and Live back in the day to make things better.

It works really well. The only problem is when u do it on All pro its extremely tough to hit a jump shot.

Re: Tight pressure for harder game.

I'll definitely check this out. Try givin a juke right after catching a pass to hit a jump shot against tight coverage...unless it's the Glove on you of course.

Something else that works is upping the Def Awareness haven't touch the Defense Stop slider though.
