If anybody remembers the 1st week 2k16 released, then you will remember that defense was almost exactly what op is asking for.

My 1st game online i was able to play a position defense and force my opponent into low IQ bad jumpshots or layups in a crowd that bricked. Ended up being an easy blowout me Pistons vs him Cavs

Fast forward to now , i dont know how, why, or what they exactly did to defense but that same position defense is not in the game, along with the fact that bad shots and crowded layups go in at a high clip. So you are not rewarded on D.

That same guy would probly beat me with no effort right now in these settings and sad as it is thats how 2k wants the game. For incompetent users or young kids to easily compete.

The only game that has an invincible mercy gauge,

Its like 1 player is playing the game on Hall Of Fame, while the other player is given free reign on Rookie difficulty, but how is that triggered ?
