Arrow Call for Help Button on Defense - LB/L1

You can go into your controller settings and set this instead of Double Team. However, this doesn't seem to be working for me when I call it against pick and rolls. Is this working properly for anyone else?

No it doesn't work. It only works like you said. I gave up about a month ago. Seems like I would lose out on features if I kept it.

Re: Call for Help Button on Defense - LB/L1

All that it seems to do is bring over who the designated help defender is for that situation. However, similar to double teams, sometimes the game has nobody in a help position. The logic seems to be way to specific and static for things to really work how they should. On top of that, I would be shocked if the logic has gotten much tuning (if any) in the last couple of years. They still have help coming from one pass away far too often. Czar basically said last year “I know it’s not good, but it’s the best we can do” so…

Re: Call for Help Button on Defense - LB/L1

Has this ever worked properly since it was implemented?

Genuinely asking as I’ve never used it

The "help" option does work for me. It will bring a help defender if your opponent drives into the paint. But you have to press and hold the L1 trigger for it to work.

Double team is more inconsistent. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. But it usually brings the double team from the wrong defender. So I don't bother with it.
