NBA 2K11 Video: Strategy Session: Volume 1 - Defensive Settings

[Po Pimp]

As far as the Off Ball Defensive settings (glad they changed this by the way), what is the difference gameplay-wise between guarding someone tight off-ball and denying them the ball?

as far as spacing tight and deny will both have them stay at the same approximate distance when playing off ball.

Deny however will force him to not leave him even if your about to give up a layup. and He will depending on his ratings deny him the ball with the actual deny animation which can get you beat back door if your not careful.

Tight they will still help albeit probably more late than early.

Love how Czar breaks this down, there seems to be alot more strategy involved in NBA2K11 this year. This thread deserves a stick post.
