Penetration/Drive and stop Penetration/ stop penetration rating

[alabamarob]

It has been discussed at length about how poor slow defenders like Enes Kanter can stick with Kyrie Irving off the dribble in 2k17. I personally think that is a player movement issue, and i doubt 2k removes the speed boost defensive animations from the game. Which I believe is the cause of the "Stickiness" of the on ball defense this year.

Thus, wouldnt it be easier just to add a drive and stop drive rating? That way players with low stop drive ratings would be subject to the blow by animation when guarding high drive rated offensive players. This would also open up the mid range pull up game since you would be forced to give ballhandlers more space for fear of being blown by?

I 100% agree with this. this should eliminate the need for a body-up sensitivity slider. A patch is needed for more hip-riding animations. The CPU stay squared up the whole while trying to get around them. In that situation a hip-riding should occur, thats if ive beaten my man and have an angle to take advantage of.

If they improved that aspect they also need to improve the defensive rotations wich are in my opinion pretty bad. The hedges and one on one defense is so strong on the perimeter to cover up for it.

That seems to be the consensus here. If they just added options for us to decide which defender comes to help, the rotations would be fine. Right now we can decide which offensive player to send help to, but we really need to option to preset which defensive players we want to help with.

Basically let us control our own defensive rotations.
