Ayeee my experience was different. I decided to max my defense out and I could barely tell a difference in movement, block shots, etc. Movement was still sluggish and slow for some reason and I barely blocked any shots. I just restarted MyCareer with a new center and I'm leaving defense all the way down this time around. Defensive assist at 0 is a huge plus though. The lower the better especially for a big man. Playing C is definitely where its at this year. It's soooo easy killing smaller lineups with a big man. People thought Centers were OP last year but they are even better this year.
