Almost all Defensive Settings work this year

[alabamarob]

Great job by 2k on fixing the defensive settings this year. It greatly helps the game, and makes things way more realistic.

Defensive settings that work.

1. Pre rotate.
2. Switch on pnr setting.
3. Off ball pressure settings (other than leave them)
4. Stay attached setting (what you have this set for with your players greatly affects help defense)
5. Transition/Wall setting.

Defensive settings that kind of work.

1. Hard Hedge, Soft Hedge and no hedge. (The Hard hedge setting is not above the screen and is really a soft hedge. There is no difference depth wise between soft and hard hedge on the game.
2. Help Defense button. (Sometimes the help will come and other times it won’t).
3. ICE. (They will ICE the pnr as long as the ball is clearly on the outside of the court. Anything in the middle fourth of the court they won’t ICE).

The defensive settings now make the game playable to me. This is all post patch.

I’ve been playing around with some of the premade player defensive coaching adjustments as well with great success. Boxes and elbows, force the jumper, force drive, make him work, and give it up, all seem to work well.

Good to known, hoping to see some adjustment also done by the CPU.
Tired to see, in P&R situation, the defender tries to go throw the screen leaving an open three to his opponent.

How effective is the Gap setting when used on someone like Rudy Gobert? Are the bigs hugging the lane line?

What works for combating the cpu getting wide open for threes bc I haven’t found it at all

I wonder how this works if, say, you're playing a MyNBA while controlling all 30 teams. Sometimes I'll set the other 29 teams to defend my team the way I feel they would IRL. But I set the Timberwolves to Double all pick-and-rolls against the Lakers (main menu settings, before the game), and they didn't trap me once. This was just to test the settings and see if they work.



I don't doubt that these settings work for the user team, but maybe someone else might want to test how this works in this scenario? Or maybe I'm the only weirdo who does this.

I am the same weirdo!

Won't buy the game, if changing the defensive settings for the CPU won't stick. I am just tired to play the cpu, if it doesn't follow basic defensive principles at all. If every pick and roll by the human player leads to a wide open shot or a brainless rotation it is just no fun to play the game.

Sag off on centers doesnt work my center still sticks way too close on centers standing on the 3 point line and i have sag off and leave them.....weird...
