I don't think non-big men should be defensive anchors ... in fact they can't.

Now, anybody in basketball who has their shot "swatted" will think twice (about a minute and a half) about why they should take a better shot. High enough offensive awareness and it will not be the end of world calamity you're making it out to be. Low or medium offensive awareness and it accurately reflects the confidence delimna that comes with getting your shot swatted. This also inserts heart into the game because there's something to be said for the person who comes back and dunks on that defender or makes a clutch shot inspite a recent shot swat situation. Have fun with it man. It's just a game.

I've said it before-- how does getting your shot blocked on the INSIDE affect your shooting on the OUTSIDE? It doesn't.

I think they can change the culture at the very least. I mean during the NBA draft I heard commentators saying how MKG will change the defensive culture of the Bobcats with his intensity and hustle. And there have even been some players who have named Defensive Player of the Year.

Looking at how some folks are reacting to the signature skills before they've even tried them, I think I may have to avoid this forum for a week or two after the games released. If they're complaining now, it'll only get worse after it's release since every time they lose a game it'll be the signature skills fault lol.

are you talking user v user or user v cpu. if what smoove said is true then on hof 30% will seem like nothing but if you are talking overall it can always be tweaked if they are keeping to online ranked low

That would be cool if one guard/sf could effect an entire teams defensive strategy.

The closest thing to a non-big man defensive anchor is Scottie Pippen and LeBron.

It does as you normally lose confidence when getting swated , every person who played real basketball can tell you this
