I play whatever suits the game im playing. The zone works at times and sometimes it doesn't. That doesn't mean someone is a coward for using a defensive set. If you cant beat the defensive set then that's your problem. They all can be beat. Stop using the troll excuse because you don't like what someone is saying to you.

Im starting to understand that now. Its not so much the users fault even tho I will be the first to talk shh everytime I beat them b/c I dont need a zone, fxxx a zone. I know how to play d. Most ppl who use zone do not know how to defend so thats what they resort to.

Im learning its not your fault tho its 2k's fault for making it so effective all the damn time and its been like this for years now for some reason. Its crazy b/c when the game first came out I dont remember the zone being NEARLY as effective as it is now. WTF is going on!

I am having a hard time playing on ball defense online this year(next gen) version. It seems that the defense is slow when guarding the player like i am stuck in some type of animation, any suggestions or defense play type.

Every zone has a vulnerability. You just have find it.

Yea u are a troll cuz i said NOTHING about using it in spurts. I was referring to people who use it ALL game. Now please stop replying to me cuz you're wasting my time with your "so called" assumptions. Keep it moving TROLL and worry about you. If u can do that u will be fine. SMH

U said the key phrase in your post. Most of the time people who run ZONE ALL GAME cant play defense to save their life. They hide behind that because they cant play man. Its simple logic. Everybody knows running zone against top players ALL GAME is suicide. Its too easy to pick any zone apart. It kills me how some people think they good when they in a zone all game and when u beat them they wonder y they got beat so bad. Too many holes in the defense.

You wouldn't get hung up in animations when you wanted to pass the ball and your teammates didn't run into the defense when you went to pass them the ball. The floor spacing also seemed better. You could also drive into the lane and cause the defense to rotate and find an open shooter. Somewhere along the line when they patched the game these things disappeared. I would like to know why.

More likely you didn't notice because the game was new. "Honeymoon period", if you will.

Even when you use the Points of Emphasis and setup your offense your AI teammates will still do stupid stuff like cut into the defense when they could have been wide open. The AI is simply broken and it wasn't when the game first released.
