I legit don't think you even know what you mean. We're saying NBA defense isn't that physical and smothering. There are also rules in the NBA that prevent it. Nobody wants to run around and spam dribble moves to try and snatch ankles like street ball. I even said it in a previous post.


You might like artificially difficult defense that defies the laws of physics and NBA rules because you want a challenge, but saying it's an accurate representation of NBA basketball and even how human beings locomote is just plain wrong.

yup, every year for at least the last 4 years i raise my pass speed to 65.

its too damn slow at default

I can't with this game right now.

For HUUUGE times in the game it feels like I have zero control over the outcome. Computer gets what it wants when it wants and puts the screws on me EVERY play.

I guess it's the case on All Star difficulty and above. And I think it's pretty much hard coded, because I dropped CPU On Ball defense, Defensive Awareness, Defensive Consistency and Contest Shots to Zero and didn't see much difference.



It's sad, because Pro is super easy, but everything above is unbearable at the moment for me.

You can’t stop some of the blatant hip riding animations on the perimeter but if you drop Body Up Sensitivity to 25 you can absolutely blow by and beat guys on the perimeter offline.

good defense is the result of good TEAM defense and a lot of helping and rotating. in 2k you don't see this and thus they artificially increase the onball defense to an unrealistic level to compensate.

It just blows my mind that I can put Yao Ming on defense vs Ja Morant for example and no matter the defensive rating of the player that somehow the players on ball defense basically mirrors the ball handler and most of the time keeps up with them. I have witnessed some crazy on ball defense by alot of defenders that are not great on ball defenders but somehow can catch up and mirror the ball handlers movements.
