Turn up defensive assistance to 50 (default from past 2k games)

[23]

Believe me its not smart to do all the time. Waiters and LeBron were going off and in that particular instance I can get them sometimes. SOMETIMES but yeah timing has alot to do with it. I have another with Kyrie doing it but the clip is too big to make a gif with.

As i've picked up more on defense, the better im getting at recognizing when I can do things like this. That was a heck of a game too.

i've played kind of sparsely since release. did the patch change the way defense is played? i remember starting to get the hang of the 5-on-5 game on D a week and a half ago, but was playing last night and couldn't stay in front of SH*T! DA was on 0.

I play with 100 DA and I still get input drops with the block button

I found this too actually, especially when I try and run in the Park...I usually put it up to 65 actually (playing as a center).

Last year I played on 0 because I didn't like how it made me slide into position sometimes when I didn't want to, but it seems to be helping me a whole lot this year (until they, hopefully, fix the delay in online).

That's because at 100 you're basically having the game contest for you...so you're having to override the games command whenever you opt to manually contest at that point...

Mines on 100. I'm beastly on D even on HOF ever since (and some defense attribute boosts)

I'm with you OP.

I will have to try this, I am pretty good staying in front of my man majority of the time.

That delayed rebounding and shot blocking is what is killing me!

2K also need to get rid of that animation where players get a boost of speed animation from the FT line. No matter what you do the user is wearing brick shoes and jump happens after the shot goes in.

I guess the angling and not staying up on the guy too much is the key to how i've been able to play better defense than in the past with it on 0.

First time for me too, I usually base my spacing on whether the guy I'm guarding is a good shooter or good driver. If he's just a good driver I play far off and dare him to shoot & vice versa. If he's good at both I give a bit of space and flick down on the right stick to crowd the ball handler anytime I think he's going to shoot a J.
