I get all the cheesing shyt and i dont have no problem w/ that...but if you gnna tell me i how i should play defense..especially w/ Doc Rivers as my coach..who uses zone defenses 85% of the time in real life.

I see no problem with zoning for strecthes breh you are right about Doc doing it. But Doc dont got them boys zoning all game and even in the real game Zone is flawed, in the 2k world its over powered because the court is too god damn small:heh:


Your good though breh I hope you stay on board def need all the heads we can get going forward. Plus you transported from the xbox league and they couldnt get shyt right

Playing zone all game is lazy as hell and half the time in a zone dudes just sneak and anticipate passes for steals.

If we sitting here calling bullshyt on up n unders, euro steps, full court lobs , etc...gotta call bullshyt on off ball d and zone all game.

Yall dont got the computer controlling on offense right? So why should defense be any different?

To an extent the computer is controlling the offense too...cutting to the basket, getting off screens..but thats ticky tack and i don't care bout that shyt

lol no reason to explain why offball D and zone shouldn't be played. This game isn't real life. Zone is overpowering in this game. Offball D is lazy.Stop playin jaye an you'll be fine. Your best chance at stoppin quick guys is onball D bc most guys have figured out how easy it is to get by a cpu defender. If someone is i nthe process of driving theres nothin wrong with switchin to a Big to protect the paint at the last second...shyt I do that.

Its too late to switch to the defender when the nikka at the 3 point line.
Breh im not asking for an explanation. I see how yall do it and you can have it. Don't matter who i play. Jaye prolly would whoop my ass w/ off ball d and zone legal. Does't matter to me. But i think its lazy to ban zone instead of exploiting it. This game doesn't sense what the opponent is trying to do.

Aight cool. I aint no cheeser or nothing like that. I try to play wtithin the rules of the league im in. I just think there are pros and cons to every side to anything you do in this game. If you ban one thing then a legitimate argument can be made to ban another.

you're explaining your side so I'm explaining ours. On ball D is a skill that has to be learned, some suck at it some are good at it. wouldn't be fair to the guys like me or the others who have gotten really good at it to have guys letting the computer guard the ball handler, Might as well play the computer. Zone in this game is not how it works in real life. Zone on this game makes it to easy to recover to the shooters while also sealing off the paint completely so there's really not much of a weakness in it if the right guy is running it. Add offball D to that an you have an unstoppable defense whereas in real life, runnin a zone for longer than a stretch will get you torched. That is why zone isn't allowed.

I hear you..... I get it. Maybe i haven't experienced this "overpowering" zone defense yet. All i know is if i sit in it for too long i get torched on this game. I could stomach the no off ball d but that and no zone..shyt is not even worth playing D.

Edit: And i know Sonny said you can use it for stretches but shyt ima use it until u stop driving w/ nikkas :damn:. Make you learn how to shoot 3's.

How am i suppose to take advantage of having a great off ball defenders on my team if i can't use him? In real life nikkas make their bread off this shyt. Ibaka, Dwight, Anthony Davis,KG to name a few.Whether its using off ball or playing zone... It makes no sense. if i roam w/ the center you are supposed to make me pay for it with ball movement..not outlawing off ball d all together. If i use zones the you move the rock at the top of the key and shoot 3's. You guys are handicapping this shyt for for guard play. It doesn't need to be balanced out..that was the whole point of the draft..to pick and create the type of team/style you want to run. I have one of the best penetrators(pause) in the league w/ Derrick Rose but its not realistic for me to put him in Iso and just try to get past one defender all day. That person should be allowed to slide to use his PF or C to prevent the penetration..or play zone. @Jaye is good regardless and i was getting the hang of the on ball d after a while but still it aint realstic enough.

I understand what you're saying

It can be frustrating when dudes wanna iso all game, it's too powerful

Unfortunately if dudes are allowed to play off ball d they'll just get too cheesy with it

That is valid hell you couldnt name more than 3 or 4 dudes who take constested jumpers anymore. Mostly alot of the O is off iso drives and clear 3s off those annoying ass screens.

IDK mayby im just a rookie on these sticks but if dude throws and iso the first thing i would do is switch to to my center...if not then you center will be all the way at the 3 point line. This is a game you wont stay in front an elite guard IDC how good you think your on ball d is.

Most dudes will stop trying to iso once you cut the ball handler off 2 or 3 times

If a guy is a joystick spammer then yeah you can't stop him
