In your defensive assignments, make sure you turn your double teams to never, because when you double the AI will usually find the open man, also make sure in your assignments that you go over on screens and soft hedge shooters, as well as go under on screens and hard hedge guys that like to drive to the basket. Also, make sure your calling out the proper plays on D throughout the game, I often switch to the 2-3 when theres a lot of shooters in the game, and man to man when there isn't. Always use LT, as well as LT and RT to keep up with guys as they shift around.

Thanks for the advice. I will be working over the defense. Then lay out what some game statistics.
