Yeah, I really wish they had given him just 2-3 more badges. 4 total is really not quite enough. If he had both PLDs, Interceptor and Pick Pocket (all well-deserved) you could give him Brick Wall, Defensive Crasher, and Corner Specialist. It's still a fantastic card, but without the extra badges he doesn't quite cut it.

I thought Draymond would be fine since you're comparing him to LeBron. He'll go up even more soon, he's been playing even better. 3 more cheap alternatives are Reward Pippen, Kawhi, PG13 (in that order).

Could you explain how to properly defend the post with the left trigger and the right stick?
Sorry if this is a noob question.

Shade with the RS. Read the move and quickly adjust with the RS while holding L2.

I've shut down RTTP Anthony Davises before with the likes of Luke Babbitt and Kyle Korver. Because of how cramped the court spacing is and how easy it is to close out on open shooters in 2K16, it's better to have a power forward who can stay outside, stretch the defense out as much as possible, and make three pointers.

The court spacing indeed is terrible this year and my biggest concern with the game. Onthe other hand, Pippen or PG at the 4 get destroyed by any decent post player, you can back them down all the way to basket in a second. I hate how everyone feels forced to play a 4-1 system due to the spacing and recovery speed.

Just bought a Bob Pettit, he might be a good compromise at the 4.

I have won RTTP with Wall/Harden/LBJ/KD/AD.

You will have some issues in defending with KD at PF, but sometimes you can switch defenders and make KD guard the center or switch to zone if the opponent abuses post play.
I play 4 out 1 in offense so I always used a stretch PF. I wouldn't use LBJ as 4 though as you will miss his perimeter defense and playmaking abilites.

I would keep an PF defender on the bench though. If you play 4 out 1 then AK47 is great to back-up KD

Use the left trigger to cut off spin/drive attempts and contest fadeaways/stepbacks.

Use the right joystick to contest all other shots and they'll miss most of the time.

There's not much reason to press the Y button to jump when defending the post since it just leads to fouls.

I'm currently using AD at Center & Petite at PF, with Bosh & Moments Porzingis off the bench. The ability to shoot & the speed ratings allow me to open up the lane for the drive & kick game. Pick and pop is also deadly with these combos.

Green and AK47 are probably the 2 best right now at this due to their versatility....but another high value card is Jerry Lucas. He does not have all the attributes as AK47 and cant guard SFs, but he is a slightly better shooter (easy shot release) and an elite rebounder. While AK47 is a more versatile defender with his lat quickness, Lucas has the edge in DConsistency and Shot Contest. Where he really kills the AK47 card is he has 13 total badges to AK47's two.

Stick silver Laimbeer at the end of the bench for injury insurance policy...lol. He is a great shooter with great low post D and a ton of badges.
