Giannis unrealistic performance

[daveberg]

Made the mistake of letting Rodman play him straight up instead of Pippen last night. Dude torched me for 30 7 & 9

Just goes to show my complete lack of NBA knowledge of todays game - figuring The Freak as a big would be banging inside instead of running breaks and killing me off the dribble.

Man the game has changed so much.

If you're talking about playing offline against the CPU, there's an easy fix. Increase Body Up Sensitivity, On Ball Defense, and Lateral Quickness. Also, make sure to set the Drive/Inside Contact Shot Frequency sliders to 100 so that the game doesn't ignore nearby defenders when choosing layup/dunk animations. From there, tweak your Shot Success sliders in correlation with the Layup/Jumpshot Defense Strength sliders so that shots/layups you feel should be missed DO miss.

Also, tweak the Movement sliders so that players without the ball are faster than players with the ball. Once you have realistic movement both with and without the ball, a lot of the cheesy issues with gameplay are resolved.

FACTS, tweaking these sliders offline helps a lot. . . shout-out to 2K With The Popboy for this too!

Apart his dominance, he doesn’t deserve quick draw badge (Gold). His shooting mechanics isn’t fast

People don't even read lol

OP is trying to find a way to force the CPU to defend him better because Giannis is an automatic bucket, but we have people complaining and explaining how they would defend him. No one cares how you would. The CPU is the issue, not someone else.

Well any help would be much appreciated. He had 14 pts and 12 rebounds in my last game against him. And that was in the first quarter, against the 96 bulls

It's crazy what Giannis can do in this game but the worst thing is that he highlights ACE's issues. When playing on auto coaching the CPU is putting him with deny ball and he keeps cutting to the basket...

The way the ACE approaches him it's a pure suicide

2K has always defaulted to over-aggressive perimeter defense. That's why I usually have my way 90% of the time versus anyone because they don't change those auto settings. I've always believed in protecting the paint first and foremost, which allows me to close out on shooters much faster than helping in then running back out. Only great shooters deserve that respect.

Of course I lose some games because 2K decides that mediocre shooters punish me for baiting on semi-open shots, but it doesn't happen often.
