Re: A "Knight" to Remember?? -- A CH2K7 (PS2) legacy

If I were coaching against your team, Jacobson would be double-teamed for the entire game. Are you seeing this much from your opponents?

Rarely. Sometimes I do see the teams play tighter onball defense, but that changes from game to game. The defenses have been either 2-3 zone or man-to-man. It could be that his defender's onball defense is not that good but that too changes from game to game.

Thanks, that's interesting. Sometimes I think I use the double-team too often, as it doesn't take the opponent long to adjust to it. I'm going to try it again in my next game against Mizzou, but it may be the last game if it fails again.

Watch the cpu in the next few games and see if they assign a different player to guard your top scorer other than that team's player in the same position. The cpu may also have a different defender because the zones sometimes use man-to-man principals (like Bill Raftery says) and the defenders guarding the players may change that way. They also may change because of screens.
