CPU On-Ball Defense *Temporary Fix*

Hey guys, look at how easily I can use the best player in the world to get by people.

Here's some videos I put up about using basketball skills to play a basketball game. I play almost exclusively with Dallas. They have no iso players. Ive been in scrimmage, blacktop and freestyle for probably 10 hours learning how to play the game. Lots of posters say the D is fine; what else to they say? Learn how to play the game. Practise.

Hey man the Mavericks signing of Deandre Jordan didn't go through!

I have only played 1 full game of 12 min quarters since the early thursday midnight release. Lots of freestyle, scrimmage too. Slowly but surely i will learn how to attack properly instead of wiggling that right stick like a mad man lol

The time i have put in the lab has been well spent, ive learned little nuances that have improved my timing and execution dribbling greatly. But i will say this:

A lot of the backlash the on ball defense is getting is to a large degree 2k's fault.

If they had a tutorial that explained the changes, how to use angles and how isos usually create space instead of driving lanes the reception would be totally different (Aside from the warping and sliding). It would realign peoples expectations with reality and give those who dont have the time to get in the lab and learn through trial and error a quick reference for improvement. As it is now people are jumping into the game with hundreds of hours worth of 2k15 muscle memory and experiencing a system shock when what they think should, and has been working, is shut down.

Then it boils down to a tug of war between those who have learned the ins and out and those who may not even know where to begin to do the aforementioned. One group claiming the on-ball defense is damn near impenetrable while another is trying to pump out example vids and tutorials.

That's not our job.

As a hardcore community we often go the extra mile to learn a detail, so we share it with others, but in no shape should we be the ONLY source of DETAILED information. It's time for 2k to include an in-depth skills trainer.

Good man. Its heaps more rewarding than just dropping sliders.
