The MESS that is 2K17's help defense... How to fix THREAD

[ksuttonjr76]

The video that pushes Sam Pham to stardom. Good job! We'll hopefully see you next year at 2K's community event.

Could someone with twitter please send Mike Wang the Sam Pham youtube video and my post with the step by step instructions?

These need to be hard wired in the game as default for all teams..

Thanks!

Seriously this should be front page news here.

Fixes majority of my headaches. Cpu offense still does some MJ type stuff with Hibbert but this is a great start.

Most importantly, my fear of the cpu needing the bugs/glitches is over. They dont need the bs to compete at least with my settings.

Props Pham, awesome job

This is a great job and thread. Thanks. Wish this was possible in My Career too.

Just used these settings in a game against the Nets. My defensive wasn't randomly springing leaks everywhere ... I was under the impression that was just how it had to be this year.

Nice to be wrong about that. Great find, everyone tweet/share/post in threads devs watch, we need this to be addressed in the first patch, it really solves a litany of issues on the court.

YES! Hopefully the developers can implement these settings for every team, and eliminate all the CPU AI boosts for on-ball defense. Would be amazing to see the stickyness/shenanigans removed in the patch!

Here is to hoping!!

The rotations are light years better with these settings. One issue I still see is the Center allowing their guy to get open under the basket for no reason. This was an issue in 2K16 as well. Seems to be a hardcoded issue that cannot be fixed on our end.

Sampham- Question for you... Should we only set the opposing team Center to (Pre-Rotate- Yes / Screen Help Rules- Auto).... Or should we include the PF with these settings as well? The reason I ask is some team will use their PF at Center from time to time.

Great job, Sam! You may have saved this game for a lot of us.
