I agree and I usually play on ball D all game..but in 2k10, the cpu defense is so terrible as far as guarding cpu players..You gotta switch off alot.

Why does everyone think raising help defense strength makes the game better? I see too much helping when this happens. Matter of fact, I lower mine to 25 bc of all the damn switching and men leaving their assignments, and I see NO DOUBLE TEAMS.

Ok well I just know to avoid playing you

Because I try to play defense the best way possible? SMH

The whole point of playing online is to play another human, not let the CPU defend everything. You should guard the ball and the other player should do the same, otherwise the AI is playing the majority of the defense. It's fine to switch to help if they burn the first man, but just laying back and controlling help defense and ignoring the human with the ball is weak. Ideally they will fix the game so that help defense has a brain, but until then, everyone should be playing on-ball defense when you're playing online, as it puts everyone on an even playing field... one player doing nothing but camping as the C or playing passing lanes off-ball ruins the fairness of the whole thing because it's making up for the AI's weaknesses that everyone should be dealing with until they're fixed.

Can you explain your rationale for #6? It was my thinking that raising general defensive awareness (and perhaps on ball defense) but lowering anything to do with helping/double teams was the way to go. What am I missing?

Let's not turn this into a discussion abot man vs man online defense. I can bump an old thread if you want

Well like I said not everyone is the same. U do what u like and I do what I like, so why should anyone tell me how to play with my team? I sometimes think this SIM thing gets into peoples head too much and start to worry about what they shouldn't do instead of what's best. Yall can call me what yall want but I feel like mixing it up is the best way.
