I feel like they made some kind of change to the logic this year and partially cleared it up.
Either way, I agree with the premise of the original post (minus the 2K not knowing basketball part). Different teams handle deficits differently depending on personnel, strategy, and how much time is left. Some may extend their defense to 3/4 court. Some may play full. Some may look to trap at half (or 3/4). So on and so forth. 2K13's lone "down big" strategy seems to just consist of, "Play man-to-man full" until a team is blue in the face. It can make earning a big lead feel a bit boring and repetitive once you get there. Though again, I think it's a little tougher to just run past the press and dunk (which was an issue in previous 2K's) so that's to the development team's credit.
I stick Jerryd Bayless in.
