This is the secret to Lockdown On-Ball Defense this year. Put them in a cage.

I enjoyed having it up in 15 but love having it off in 16 - go figure lol


FWIW, I strictly play My Career, and the new defensive mechanics of 16 have fit hand in glove for me 😃

With higher defensive assist, he feels more weighted. Sometimes my defender felt too light and I would move him out of position easily which was hurting me.

Great point of emphasis here.

Some may find a sweet spot somewhere beyond 0 but less than 50 or 100 - it's all about how much give and take you require.

As my my career player in 15 improved : I started to lessen to effect of defensive assist strength. In 16 I do feel very light at times but I enjoy it because the recovery system is also improved. I like the "feel" in this year's user defense - it's very much like how I would play in reality.

I imagine it will be a different experience for all of you depending on your difficulty sliders.

If you keep yourself in good position, the CPU assists from there. They do not assist if you are not in good position though. You can still get blown by if you're out of position.

Nice. Do you hold L2 or feather or nothing?

I just tested it online it works and definitely tones down the fast break cheese a bit, won with the Bobcats against clippers and won against the Grizzlies using the Timberwolves and was down 3 points against cavs using the pacers and the damn game dropped. Much props

Keep in mind that if you have this at 100 and hold LT all the way down when some one is coming directly at you on a drive, you will likely get a flagrant, lol

Does having it at 100 feel like the cpu is in control? That's how it was in past games....

So is this more for vs humans? Seems like some sliders have this and 100 on box out assist. Just curious on best settings for my player.
