Question on Help Defense & Pick-n-roll AI

[Jumpman62114]

What does everyone think of the help defense and pick-n-roll AI in the Live demo? I've been traveling a lot for work and haven't been able to play the demo yet. Based on the demo gameplay vids I've seen, help defense seems pretty late or non-existent, particularly against superstar players like Lebron/KD/Curry. Is there a help D slider? Does it work well?

Also are there any coaching options to attack picks/screens in a particular manner? The feel/control of live seems good this year, but I'm not sure if the bball logic/AI is there yet. Looking forward to trying it soon.

Playing on All-Star or Superstar will result in excellent help defense. I've seen some situations, like Cavs2016 posted above, that are excellent rotations, some of the best that I've seen. My cpu teammates aren't braindead, which is a breath of fresh air.

Nice clips man. I can't recall what settings there, are, but pretty sure there are some in individual man assignments.

In coach options, you have the ability to set the ball screens and off ball screen tendencies for each player.

For Ball Screens, there is
Down/Baseline
Over/Hard Edge
Over/Mirror
Under/Show
Under Hard Edge
Under/Mirror
Switch
Over/Show
Over/Trap


Off Ball Screens
Over
Under
Switch

There's also On Ball Pressure, Off ball pressure, How you want to defend in the post, when to double in the post and when to double in the perimeter.

I hope this helps.
