Yea i had a problem with it until the dev came in and explained how it balance everything out

As coolcras7 alluded to: some pick the defender of the worse offensive player and turn him into a free "extra" defender. Others play off ball as a crutch because they feel it's too hard to play on ball. The latter is understandable and that is the crowd that is being "rewarded" for playing the harder roll. There isn't much you can do about the ones that cheese except tighten up the loose ends in game play (movement, passing lanes, offensive intelligence, etc...). But at least you can make it more rewarding for the other folks.

I get where you coming from but and i agree that some use it to cheese. But when i play off ball its not to cheese. I play legit offball d. I responded to EarvGotti because he was making it seem like everyone who plays offball dont want to play d which is not the case. I play offball with d12 because he is my favorite player. To me it is so fun for me to come across the paint on help d, and send someones ball back to them.
