Defenders...not defending

Forget about the half court defense. I don't think my teams have ever seen a fastbreak before, because it sure seems like they can't defend that at all.

Yep, temmate defense is completely broken in this game. Nice effort 2K.

The only issue is that the farthest man from the ball will often needlessly rotate and help on a person in the paint for no real reason at all...a big issue, but should be an easy fix.

Actually, I think this year, the "hands up" defense is more effective than actually trying to block jump shots. I noticed that your opponent miss more shots with this defense than constantly trying for blocks. Anybody else noticed this?

I totally agree with you. I was practicing my D the whole night last night not minding whether I win or not. Anyway, I notice what you said above, BUT I must admit, I'm still having a hard time staying in front of players like Lebron and Wade.

They blow by me often even if a sag off a little bit. Then my teammates help. Then they pass to the open shooter at the 3-point line. Then I lose.

Agree with 24th, it's got 2K9 written all over it.

Rebounding isn't much better, in Wilt's legend game I wanted to see how he'd rebound if I didn't control him my second time through that match up. He finished with 1 rebound.
