Playing Defense (Take a Look at this)

[Rasco11]

As far as contesting shots, I set my defensive controls to "absolute" rather than camera relative, that way if you press up on the right stick regardless where you are on the court, you know your player will put his hands up assuming he is in position to do so. It has helped me play more consistent defensively, I've felt.

this thread could be a great tool to help people.

use real basketball techniques. these are some of my basic rules

1. Dont put intense pressure on the ball 30 feet from the bucket
2. know the opposition, if your playing westbrook on the 3pt line back up a few steps to defend the drive, let him live on the three point line
3. If your playing a guy like kobe, for the most part your sol, but play the drive and use a lengthy player so when he does shoot from perimeter get in his face(think teyshaun prince)
4. lay off of intense d, especially when your 1 foot away from the offensive player, take a step back to get some closing space
5. go under picks or go through them early, for some reason i haven't gotten beat on the jumper too many times

Also using R-stick works well to cutoff isomotion moves. It takes practice, but try it out.

i have realised that LS is the key on D. u have to put the player in the way to the basket. sometimes its no easy due to the isomotion and you must read the movement.
About the RS i have to say that everytime i use it (without lose my position in front of the player who drives the ball) the referee calls deffensive fault. anybody knows how to use it?

And now a question: How can i switch matchups on a screen? is there an option to configure it? thanks in advance.

Okay so you push the Right stick into the offensive player when he's attenoting a jumpshot or layup?
