Paint Defense is Terrible (Pro-Am)

More often than not, I've seen bigs completely phase through someone with their hands up because the animation feels as if it has to finish, obstacle be damned. I wish I would've saved it, but there was even an instance where a guy was backing up away from the paint with the ball, and literally backed up right through me when I was standing still defending my own man.

OMG!...so much of this....i understand my guy is a rebounding post scorer and not a PP...but that doesn't mean they should be phasing through me or moving me with ease....i'm still 7'1 285 which is a MASSIVE character by any standard...and i do have a 91 or so in strength right now...these Shaq esque builds i'm running into that are torching me are actually bigger/heavier than young/peak Shaq and my guy is actually close to Shaq's measurements....idk

I'm not understanding why this is such a hard concept to grasp. I literally reading how people have an offensive-minded MyPlayer, but then complain how they're getting scored on. WTF????? It's like patterning your MyPlayer after James Harden and wondering why you're not locking anyone down.

So unless you have a defensive player, you should be getting dunked on everytime around the rim? You should be getting walked into the paint even with high strength? Not having a defensive archtype should not basically make your player irrelevant on the defense end around the paint. Should making a defensive player make you better on defense, obviously. Should it mean a non defensive player can get scored on at will everytime, no

EXACTLY, I have a Paint Protector & don't face this problem, you would think maybe there's a reason 2K gave you an option to create a DEFENSIVE ARCHTYPE. Smh, these guys complain too much.

2K don't patch the gameplay, it's legit!

SF Slasher/LDD definitely having issues with paint defense. If I jump it's a foul, if I keep my hands up they just slide through me. My dude is 6'8 250. This has happened enough that I'm starting to want to give up on my 88 rated guy I grinded with all weekend.

I just want to make it clear, I'm mostly advocating for lowering the offensive 7"3 leadpass/dunkfest in the paint. I am not so much advocating to buff the defense of all the non defensive builds. Lockdowns are already a super niche.

1. However I would like stamina to be drained much more on these standing dunks in Traffic with the whole team around. I see no layups around the basket by bigs, simply dunks with no contact being initiated.

2. The speed in movement/quickness is way to fast for these 7"3 behemoths. Outside of sprinting and walking they turn, move, jump, etc as quick as any other build so really there "slow speed" is hardly ever exposed.

3. Rebounds just seem to go to the 7"3 player all the time. Position, timing, etc. hardly matters if you have a 7"3 player with max wingspan. The ball will basically morph into the players hand.

As of right now, there is no incentive to not make a 7"3 Max/Almost Max weight Big with Max Wingspan. The meta this is shaping up to be stale

so its a nerf offense thread?

Well I am only speaking for myself but A more accurate statement would be nerf standing Dunks in traffic and lead passing through defense. Nerf 7"3 max weight players having no problem hanging with smaller bigs because they will get a block/rebound even when they are out of position.
