Can someone help me out with this problem?
I mixed mkhars33's with thefuture420 sliders and changed a few things to my liking. Just trying some stuff out. So I started an offline association with the portland trailblazers.
The problem I'm having is mainly on defense:
1. During a play on defense, there was a mismatch between my and theirs SG and PF. I was controlling the SG and was defending the opponents PF who was above the 3 point line. I would have thought that my PF would have trailed/followed the opponents SG who ran into the paint and got the bounce pass and scored with no one near him because my PF stopped at the 3 point circle and didn't move.
First I thought this was because the help defense was too high, but I
lowered it to 30 but I see no real change.
2. All my players are defending the opponents players, no mismatches whatsoever. Everyone is nicely spread across the 3 point line from the left corner to the right corner with a lot of space in the paint so my opponent is planning to drive.
The pg is again at the top of the 3 point circle, he makes a move and it looks like he was going to pass me but I had him covered. The problem now is, my PF thinks I need help to cover the PG from getting into the paint. But obviously, I didn't so he comes and leaves his guy wide open. The opponents PG passes it to the their PF who runs into the paint and he dunks.
3. Everyone is taking too much distance from their opponent, that's my main issue actually. Is this something I have to change in my coaching playbook?
I just want everyone to play man-to-man defense and stay with their guy even when there is a mismatch but I keep getting some sort of help defense which bugs me enormously.
Are there any other sliders I have to adjust?
thanks
