NBA 2k21 current gen broken defense

Hi guys,
I'm a bit desperate, since I can't find any slider set, neither to tweak in order to get really tough CPU defensive. As of now, it's enough simple to hold turbo button and I can go through any defender (even like Lebron or Simons) to the basket (of course it depends on contact shot sliders, whether I hit or not the basket), but the idea, that there doesn't exist any "body" physical defense.
I'm using shady slider set (since he is kind of guru), but for this year - seems something is broken within the game.

Sliders (HOF) set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Xyya4_d90&t=3s
Any ideas, guys? Or this is me, who is looking for 90's Pistons defense challenge?
I see only option is start decreasing User speed/acceleration and increasing for CPU - but conceptually it doesn't look logical.. Already tried with lateral quickness (max for CPU), body up sensitivity (max for CPU) - no changes..

Thanks

I can confirm that this a huge problem after the latest update. I scored 50 points in the paint in the first half with Harden. All fastbreak dunks.

I know in past years on last gen you could decrease the Drive Contact Shot Frequency slider for the USER to get more brick-wall animations instead of blow-byes.

My 2K18 set had Body-Up and Lateral Quickness at 100 for the CPU and then Drive Contact Shot Frequency at 40 for the USER, specifically to make CPU defenders stop being turnstiles. Try that maybe?

(I haven't played current gen 2K21 so I have no idea if it still works)

Try Popboys slider set. He is more of a guru than shady. I’m using his superstar set and they are great.

Thanks, Ecccentric! Will give a shot. I'm really missing your sliders set for this year for current gen version

Just tried Pop's HOF set and it really feels more challenging! Thanks a lot for suggestion, mate

Thank you for messaging me back the other day on these man!! I still can’t totally break away from Madden lol but these are working very well. I was frustrated as he** before you told me about these.
