*Facepalm* For the love of...it's like people are choosing not to read.
Even if you take away the team's best offensive player, there's still 4 other players on the floor. Those same individuals you are bringing up were also surrounded by other great defensive players. Ben Wallace, Rodman, etc.
Like someone mentioned, you have to have basketball knowledge AND 2K knowledge to succeed. Let's say you take away their Sharpshooter. That still leaves their Slasher and/or Shot Creator on the perimeter, and whatever offensive player at the 4 and/or 5. Unless your team is filled with Lockdown Defenders and Glass Eaters, there's a good chance the Sharpshooters/Slshers/Shot Creators/Post Scorers/Playmakers on your team are going to get toasted, because their subpar defensive rating has to consistently stop the opposing players with the same archetype.
And as far as 2k's shooting balance (as someone mentioned): Lockdown Defenders were forced to give up their offensive stats due to 'balance', so no, you're not going to be effective offensively with just 7 upgrades. People will just back off you and wait near the paint, daring you to shoot.

I for one think it's very easy to create scenarios of someone not being effective - or less effective - before actually playing. I think that's pretty much the point made. Things like focusing on one teams possible weaknesses but forgetting the other team is not perfect either. Rarely does everything go as precisely planned beforehand. Are you referencing me on the shooting balance thing? cause i was talking about defensive balance not shooting. Just incase. Might wanna mention who you responded to there lol. Just so there's no confusion.
