Drop Coverage

[veltchev]

Hi guys!

What's the best defensive set to emulate the drop coverage in game?

No hedge? Catch hedge?

Not at all.
The big men, specially centers, they stay still too high in pick and roll situations and most of time are going to switch or double the ball handler. Drop coverage position is different than real nba.

It should be in though as a set coverage as that and switching is really all that’s used in today’s game… I’ll report back in here when I mess with it and get some actual gametime in…

I could be wrong on this but I believe Ice and Catch Hedge are removed from the game. They are still a menu option in Coach Settings but I don’t think they actually have any affect.

Drop coverage is…

Go over on ball screen

Catch hedge center

You can choose catch for all players as well. Or just switch those and only set drop with your center like Lopez…

You can also choose force baseline and ice to play higher and force the direction to the screen and drop coverage.

Just tested and the center plays it right… However, not as dropped as you would like.

For some reason I thought it was different in 2k. With most people knowing what drop coverage is to make simple it should just be a set call in game. I’ve never even heard the phrase catch hedge until 2k and I’ve been coaching 25 years. Lol

Same, it's always been drop coverage for me.

The thing is it’s not really true drop coverage. But it’s as close as your going to get to simulate it…
