Try Defensive Awareness and Help Defense Strength Sliders at 0
I have spent hours testing this and I am conviced this provides improved help defense. Please people test this and you will definitely see improvement. An easy way to test it is to start a quick game and turn off the shot clock. I tested against the Celtics since they have a high help defense team tendency. First try the help defense strength at 100. Spin or come of screens to drive the lane and watch how the players react in the paint. Then try it at 0 and you should see players reacting much quicker jumping over to take charges. Players will leave their man to help if you drive by them unless they are guarding a man behind the 3pt line.

Young you are absolutely right. I noticed after I did it post patch and it works. I hope all the slider makers peep this so they can add this to their slider sets. I was able to drive and kick. -

young,
you need to spread this to as many 2kers as possible. I will not, since you posted it first you should take the credit. We need to test other sliders to make sure they are not backwards also. Some else posted tonight on the team selection screen to switch the cpu team playbook to ALL. Everyone need to try both of these. I played the celts and they fed ray, garnet the ball consistently. ray came off screens, and paul p. posted up. with the patch and these two findings this game went from a head ache to the best sports sim I ever played.Comment

I have tried the change and found that he is on to something. The CPU defense is not just standing around. They jump towards the ball, swat at ball if player dribble by the users player, double the hot player, switch on pick and rolls, I dont know but it seems to be more face up d, I really dont see the transition over on the users defense. Any other viable testers please post. Mind you, I did not change the def. awa to 0, just def. help user and cpu to 0.Comment

Re: Try Defensive Awareness and Help Defense Strength Sliders at 0
the fact that many seem to be ignoring all posts with this info is straight weird. It has changed the game. The cpu is more active which allow you to penetrate and dish to the open man. You have to be aware of who the help defender is because he will be in position to defend you and bottle you up.Comment

I was skeptical after reading a "backwards" slider thread that it would work, but decided to give it a shot anyways. Lo & behold it does appear to make a difference with the CPU playing help D. I wouldn't expect anyone to just take my word for it so give it a shot for yourselves and see if it makes a difference.I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust 'em.

I dont get it either. I have spent over 4 hours testing to find the best help defense and people ignore it or say it doesnt work. Like you I have not had trouble driving and dishing and that is how I get most of my shots for Vujacic and Trevor Ariza. After all my testing I have no doubt that it works and it is the best help defense is going to get on this game.Comment

It could be sliders. Everyone has different sliders I suppose, tweaked to there liking. All I know is that it work for me. I have yet to try to adjust the def. awareness both cpu and user to zero, so I dont know if that that can ultimately affect the defense issue. Stay tuned.Comment

Yo, for those guys that say that this doesn't work-YALL CRAZY- cause THIS WORKS. I tested this against the Celts, Lakers, Spurs, and Jazz. I played with the def aware. and help def. at 100 and then at 0. At 100 I was driving on these teams like crazy. But at 0 the help D was there to shut down the lane and make me kick out to another player. Def aware. made the defenders for the cpu play tighter man defense. Once again THIS WORKS.
