How about defending the post? I feel like CPU makes 99.9% of their post shots.

Re: Defensive Help, Tips

I'm having a mixed bag with the Help D. Sometimes it is overaggressive leading to a stupid open jumper/ layup, or it is under aggressive and someone completely forgets what to do and allows an easy layup.

Just body up to them and defend with the left trigger...dont jump and try to block their shots as they will just use post moves and get around you. If you stay in front of them and let the games contest shot animations play out they miss often.

Go over or go under- this is for the defender being picked...

If you select to go under the defender will go behind the screen... Do this against players who look to drive rather then shoot.

If you play against a player who can shoot like curry etc go over the screen this should help prevent them from shooting and force them to try something else.

Double seemly means your two defenders involved in the pick and roll etc will double team and trap the ball handler

Ice- this means you want the on ball defender to force the ball handler in the opposite direction of the pick. So your defender would theoretically play a tight defense and deny the ball handler the ability to go pick side.


Oh ok that's cool I new like under or over was but I had no clue what ICE was or what the whole soft thing was.

Best thing to do in the post for me has been bodying up and then using the right stick to contest, that way your man doesn't get out of rebounding position. Seems like the CPU usually is going to fadeaways too. They make a lot of tough ones, definitely, but you just have to live with that.

I got torched down the stretch by Zach Randolph last night. I was the Wizards, leading by 5-6 midway through the 4th and he just took over. I had Nene defending him well but it didn't matter. It was frustrating at the time but afterward I thought about it and thought it was kind of cool the CPU played their 4th quarter offense the way they did and Z-Bo just got hot.

After the CPU gets offensive rebounds, I recommend just bashing triangle at will lol, and with multiple defenders if possible. The CPU will still make a bunch but I'm starting to get them to miss some just going all out.
