Defensive Tips Needed CPU shooting 65% against me

Hey i need some tips on how to play better Defense, primarly in the post. Over my last 5 games that i have played on AllStar with sim settings the computer is shooting 65% percent against me as high as 73% in one game. I just need some help on defensive settings that might slow them down.

Re: Defensive Tips Needed CPU shooting 65% against me

Haven't seen you play but my first impression is you need a better offense.

I say that only because you need the cpu to face all five guys as often as possible. If you are giving up a high number of fast break points, start with getting your offense fg% up. That'll help a ton.

Also check your 3 pt attempts. If it's high reduce those. Every poor three chuck is probably an automatic score for the CPU.

I agree with this. Also, Check you offensive settings. If you have "Crash Boards" as you offensive rebounding strategy, you'll give up lots of odd-man buckets at the other end.

For actual defense, try using "Play Physical Defense" as your defensive strategy. Another thing you can do is select a team member that is guarding a low offensive threat player on the opponent, and let your CPU team mates guard the offensive stars. But if you are able to guard man-to-man yourself as well as the CPU, then maybe just take the easy way out and start messing with the CPU offensive sliders and or the User defensive sliders.

Re: Defensive Tips Needed CPU shooting 65% against me

even with good slider set the cpu just doenst miss in the paiint and close
its just unreal the way they programmed the cpu succes in that area

ruins the game whil other aspects are almost perfect
that offensive board and going up directly for an easy two with defendees all over him
ia getting more than repetitive...annoying and frustrating

they float contested shots in with ease
they make you miss dunks and layups too keep you from the score board
patch this please ..dwight howard looks hopeless defending the paint man

I tried everything but they programmed the cpu to be more dominant and unstoppable
to keep the game in sort of balance ...get rid of those inside and close floaters leaner layups


the only way to win is to outscore the cpu since defense isnt rewarding at all.

Good ideas im shooting right aroun 50% and i do give up fast break points so i will try not to crash the boards as much.

Just looking for any suggestions to how to get the computer to not always try to score from the paint and take some other shots. I feel like if i could just get the cpu to miss like 8 more shots a game it would help out alot.
