For the 2nd year in a row the "help defense" slider is not accessible in the roster menu. It is only accessible in MyLeague & in-game. This is a big problem as you cannot set these for the opposition ahead of time.
The more important issue with this is how important of a factor it is in regard how teams play defense. Almost all teams current day play 90% help d forcing players into spots on the court as oppose to locking down a guy man-to-man. This is also a huge difference form how many of the classic teams played defense.
As it is currently; unless you go into each team (if you control them or not) and edit their help defense (WHICH YOU CAN CURRENTLY ONLY DO IN MYLEAGUE) we will not have a proper representation of today's defense nor is it a proper representation of the tools, A.I. & coding that you guys (2k) have implemented. ACE does NOT gauge this as it is one of the single most important factors to seeing the drive and kick & pick & roll game that is basketball today.
In closing... (lol) PLEASE PATCH IN THE ABILITY TO EDIT HELP DEFENSE IN THE COACHING PROFILES OF ROSTERS (IT IS THE ONLY ONE MISSING BUT IS ACCESSIBLE IN MYLEAGUE).
In the event that this is viewed as a simple request that is not important to gameplay OS please chime in as to what you've seen in regard to the differentiation of team's defenses and & players sucking in the defense to CREATE as oppose to driving with an open lane to attack.
