Defensive legacy issue: Defensive 3 seconds is called too tight

The rule is

"Any defensive player inside the 16-foot lane (painted area) must be actively guarding an opponent within three seconds."

Actively guarding is defined as
"being positioned within arm's length of an offensive player and in a guarding position."

On face the game gets it right, however the NBA has such a liberal definition of 'arm's length' and 'actively guarding' that NBA 2k is often too strict by comparison. This is especially true when a player is sagging near someone who is not what the matchups or zones deem as their man. Just being a few feet from anyone and looking at the ball suffices in the NBA but is often a violation in the game.

I would argue that the CPU over compensates for how this is called which is one of the reasons help defense is often late or in the form of an inefficient double team.

Interesting- I thought the common complaint was that it's not called frequently enough?

Defensive 3 seconds gets called a lot quicker than offensive 3 seconds.

Offensive 3 seconds takes more like 5 or 6 seconds before a ref finally blows the whistle.

Re: Defensive legacy issue: Defensive 3 seconds is called too tight

Yep, defensive 3 sec violation gets called when a defensive player is standing on the paint EVEN if he is actively face guarding someone (no contact happens). It should NOT be a violation.
