Playing zone in 2K11 is difficult.

2-3 you can play if you get beat a lot on the offensive rebound, but if the opposing team has capable gunners, you are inviting desaster. Also excellent penetrators like Kobe are likely to take it apart and just drive by 3 players to the hoop.

The zone defense I have used to good effect is the 1-3-1, with players good at stealing on the wings (Kirilenko, Miles, Bell and Hayward for me). You have good coverage on the first pass to any wing player and will gain quite a few balls that way. Once the ball passes the free throw line you may be in trouble though.
