What gives you such insight into the games development? If a dev says it's too risky to touch pick and roll defense in 2K21 how do you know that's not the case? 2K22 is a whole separate game, they are still developing it. There is no risk of "breaking" a product people have already spent their money on. For better or worse, 2K21 is what it is and 2K is fine with that.

That won't be proof that this game can be fixed. You do realize that there's still a difference between what can be fixed with a patch, versus what needs a completely new game right?

I’m honestly having a blast with the next gen game. I never set my own PnR anyway.

Yeah pretty much, and while I'm sure Czar has his own personal opinion on the matter, that's about as much of an admission that defense is a problem which won't be addressed this year that he can publicly make without jeopardizing his job at 2K.

So what I'm seeing here is that if Czar says we can't fix pick and roll defense, a fundamental aspect of basketball that's been in this series since the beginning, while not perfect by any means but was still present in the game because one guy left sound ridiculous. No one on that team can implement this? A multi billion dollar company who's been in business for decades can't do this? I'm not buying it. I guarantee that one of the selling points for 2K22 will be this awesome pick and roll defense that's been built from the ground up. Remove and repackage seems to be 2K's strategy.

It always amazes me the amount of expert video game developers we have here at OS...

Pretty obvious he doesn’t, he’s proved his ignorance on the topic numerous times in several different threads

I don't think they know how to fix the problems on next gen. Anyone who played it can clearly tell that it (gameplay) wasn't build from the ground up just copied from current gen.
