    Call for Help Button on Defense - LB/L1

    You can go into your controller settings and set this instead of Double Team. However, this doesn't seem to be working for me when I call it against pick and rolls. Is this working properly for anyone else?
    Lineup:
    PG) Gary Payton
    SG) '95-'96 Michael Jordan
    SF) Sapphire Scottie Pippen
    PF) '95-'96 Dennis Rodman
    C) Hakeem Olajuwon

    No it doesn't work. It only works like you said. I gave up about a month ago. Seems like I would lose out on features if I kept it.

      All that it seems to do is bring over who the designated help defender is for that situation. However, similar to double teams, sometimes the game has nobody in a help position. The logic seems to be way to specific and static for things to really work how they should. On top of that, I would be shocked if the logic has gotten much tuning (if any) in the last couple of years. They still have help coming from one pass away far too often. Czar basically said last year “I know it’s not good, but it’s the best we can do” so…

        Has this ever worked properly since it was implemented?

        Genuinely asking as I’ve never used it

          The "help" option does work for me. It will bring a help defender if your opponent drives into the paint. But you have to press and hold the L1 trigger for it to work.

          Double team is more inconsistent. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But it usually brings the double team from the wrong defender. So I don't bother with it.

                  They promoted the call for help defense button? lol

                  Interesting through, Seems to work for some and not others- I’ve never really messed with it because you have to decide between it and the double team.

                    It works fairly consistently if you hold it. It gets the 3rd defender repositioning aswell.

                      yes they did. or how do i know about it even when I do Not have the current gen version of the game? in old gen There is only the call for double Team Button, Not the call for help Button. it was mentioned in one of the gameplay Blogs that are Released before the game comes out.

                        Ah, In a gameplay blog.

                        Fair enough- Thought you meant as a major back of box feature when it’s not even on by default lol

                            This input absolutely works. But for me getting the 2nd rotation is inconsistent.

                            Also the double can come from the wrong place.

                              That's why I double using the icon double team. It's just more consistent where it's coming from that way. Then I know who to switch into for the rotation.
