Yes it can. I use the Sixers so I can't always make teams pay from the perimeter when they go zone. I always felt that the lack of zip on passes in 2k11 made the zones more effective than anything else. I've played random guys online who have played 2-3 and 1-3-1 zones and made it seem like they had 8 guys out there instead of 5! Don't want to harp on 2k11 as 2k12 is around the corner so I will stop going backwards.
