Defense can be played in 17

[Grandview2015]

I have held teams under 100 (12 min Q)

Do not switch man on rebound or fast break until D is set or you will have weird stuff happen

I used this to set defense per person last year (Thanks Armor)

You must make adjustments or CPU will hurt you

On Ball Pressure

Gap: Non threat, Non Shooter (Tony Allen)

Moderate: Decent shooter, or vs someone that can blow by you (Andre Iguadola)

Tight: Good shooter that you can also stay in front of. (Klay Thompson)

Smother: Good shooter but I only use this vs. someone that can't really handle the ball. If you smother Kyrie, you will get burned. (Kyle Korver)

Off Ball Pressure : Be careful here because you also have to think about preventing offensive rebounding.

Gap: Non threat, Non Shooter (Tony Allen)

Moderate: Decent shooter (Eric Bledsoe); Non-threats but are good rebounders.

Tight: vs. Good shooters (Kyle Korver); You can also use this vs. great rebounders but you probably would want to help off of him so use at your discretion.

Smother: Use this when you are playing a great offensive threat. But be careful because you might give up backdoor cuts.

Force Direction
I force everything to the baseline. Point blank, I don't want to give up any middle penetration.

On-Ball Screen and Off-Ball Screen You really only need to use this vs. people that will be the ball-handler in a PnR situation. So don't worry about setting this vs. Dwight

Go Over: Shooter

Go Under: Non-Shooter

Switch: I use vs vs. non-offensive threats. I also use this for people that won't really blow by my non-center bigs. You have to think about your 1-4 and their ability to stay in front of the player you are setting it up for.

Ice: Use this when you want the on-ball DEFENDER to force the ball-handler away from the screen. I would only use this when the on-ball defender is a strong defender. I wish this could be situational because I would only want to use this on the sideline pNr situations.

Hedge

No-Hedge: Use this vs. an absolute non-threat perimeter player (Tony Allen)

Soft Hedge: I would use this against someone that isn't going to KILL you and won't probably look to score most of the time once they turn the corner. (PJ Tucker)

Hard Hedge: If you know this dude is going to turn that corner and look to score, use the hard hedge. (Bledsoe)

Double: Now, if this player can turn the corner and attack AND he has the ability to look for others out of the PnR situation, I would double him. (LeBron)


Hedge (Center)
See the hedge section above, but you need to know who your center is. Depends on his footspeed (quickness) and on-ball defense IQ

Soft: Non-athlete vs a scorer

Hard: Athletic vs a scorer

No-Hedge: Non-athlete vs. a non offensive threat

Double: Use at your judgement, but if your Center is too slow, he might struggle even getting into doubling position in time. You might get split honestly.

Post

Front: If I front a player, I am doubling from the weakside. If I am getting killed by a player in the post, I will front him. I don't usually START off fronting anyone

Behind: If I am playing a non-post threat, I always play behind because I am not worried about them honestly.

3/4 Top: If I am playing against a post threat, I will start off with this. Again, this ties into my theory of forcing everything baseline. This shades your offensive player to the baseline.

3/4 Bottom: If you want to shade the player to the middle of the court (where your help can be sent) you can use this option. I sometimes trick people I play by putting this setting on a BAD post player so they can think they see an advantage. Again, use with discretion.

Double Teams:

Now if passing and explanation on how rotation mins works. This game would be 9.5 for me
