The roster update greatly improved the Pick and roll defense

And on top of that it’s rare for me to see a third defender rotate to help. This is on All-Star so maybe it’s different. I do have help Defense and awareness cranked to 100 in the sliders to try and help. Maybe in the future 2K can add sliders for screen effectiveness or something. Not sure how to fix this ourselves.

It’s definitely better, not sure how u can say there’s “no improvement” pick n roll was 100% points a couple days ago, it’s far from that now

Is it too much to ask for the CPU defenders to anticipate the screen?

Just out of interest are you showing this video as an example of good p and r defense by the cpu or bad? I think while it needs improvements for sure. We also need to keep in mind that defenders in real life make mistakes and the examples here don't look terrible

The video was posted to show that they help on pick and roll as opposed to giving up layups. I consider that a good thing

This^^^^

Defense in real life isn’t perfect either, as long as it’s not the same mistakes repeatedly I’m ok with lapses in execution or judgment here and there and I think some ppl forget about that aspect at times

I agree. I just want it good enough where my opponents in PNO don't feel like they can score at will or that it's the ONLY way to score.

Ohhh boy now we have the easy blow bys uncontested for an easy layup!!

I can almost do this every rip down the court SMH its always something.

If you have a pretty fast PG try it and see how easy it is to score against the CPU Pg..

2k we need DEFENSE at all times period!

Played last night and didn’t notice that (I use sliders) is this a issue that sliders would help ?
