Points in the Paint

[Majingir]

How do I stop all the scoring from points in the paint? Not just the opponents but me too. It seems like over 60% of points are from points in the paint(when in real life, the number is about 40%)

Try making your defensive assignments " lock down paint ".

I'm really wondering about this as well. Hands up, unlike on jump shots, seems worthless and ineffective in the paint, jumping for the block gets delayed and seems worthless as well (a problem carried over from 2k12). 9/10 times getting the ball into the paint means a bucket, regardless of the defense. This shows up not only online where cheesers paint score at will, but offline where the CPU gets 2nd chance pts at will as well. Just wondering how we're supposed to defend this.

And yes, I know some will say just body up and deny the paint, but even the best defenders in the world can't stop guys from driving by them, especially when on the 3rd, 4th, 5th attempt to drive the paint by my opponent is succesful and results in a bucket.

For the CPU, try going to tendencies and turn down attack the basket.

For both you and CPU, try turning down inside shot success and turning up inside contact.

That's only a bandaid. I want a way to be able to stop the CPU or people online if and when they do get to the paint, especially right under the basket. Right now it seems impossible. Fixing sliders is fine, but it's just a bandaid for a real issue that hopefully will get patched.

I'd almost be willing to bet my left stone that if they patch this problem the fast break will start to disappear...

Something tells me the two are kinda intertwined together in their programming of the game. But yeah, something needs to be done about this...
