If defense isn't nerfed Lockdowns will be superfluous.

I think what he's saying is everyone (even guys that are not great defenders) kinda feels like a great defender. But I mean it's always been that way playing the CPU...especially on HOF. The HOF CPU turns trash defenders into elite defenders.

ANd without context of the attributes of the players involved in these hypothetical scenarios this discussion is pointless.

Imo it is very easy to get by subpar defenders. Guys dont recognize that every mismatch doesnt end in a layup or even in points. Sometimes all you get is an angle to put stress on the defense.

Between the defensive improvements and ball handlers not being able to zigzag for buckets, people will finally have to learn to pass, use angles, and set up their dribbling beyond 2K exploits. Finally!

The defense feels fantastic this year, but it's not impenetrable. Those who already played good defense are going to be hell this time around, especially if using defensive builds. It's gonna be a very rough year for a lot of these kids, but it's time to step the game up and play ball.

Wanting a nerf to something after playing essentially 2 games against the CPU on Pro difficulty in a demo.


Wow.


First for time everything on this board, I guess.

Exactly. Lots of dudes were out here iso zig zag cheesing last yr and getting the easy blow by on guys playing great defense. No more of that. Learn to create angles, learn to do things off the dribble and actually play team basketball. If you're locked up, pass the ball to a guy that isn't.
