Saw the video and I disagree with it as a real fix to peoples problems, sliders only affect the difficulty not individual rating or tendencies.

On-Ball Defense Slider. Max it out and leave everything else alone (you can tune fouls and such to your likeness). Play defense. Problem solved.

I'm been tweaking the On-Ball Defense Sliders but what I'm after is a slider(s) that prevents the defense from collapsing the paint with 3 defenders since where subjected to jump shooting the majority of the game as opposed to driving to the basket. I often choose space the floor in OTFC settings but there's still usually 3 defenders waiting.

You don't need a slider it's all in your coach profile. put help defense to 0 and pressure up high. I am working on a video for that but that is ALL coach settings.

Personally, I haven't had any issues defending the paint or penetrating when space is available. It's all about evaluating the defense and offense and reacting accordingly. As long as you keep the contact sliders at 50, you should have no trouble beating guys off the dribble.

All I do is change shooting sliders to 48 for mid range and 3p for BOTH user and cpu, and no other changes needed, play perfectly!

Last year the default Simulation sliders had 3-pt. shooting @ 45 for the User and CPU. People complained about not being able to hit any 3's with the slider @ 45, so most bumped it up to 48-50 (CPU's went as high as 52 in some cases) to produce better results.

It would appear 2K factored in those complaints from last year's release and tweaked its ratings and slider scale for this year, which is why we have a higher value for the 3-pt. slider. A simple bump down 1-3 clicks for both sides (if you are making too many) should do the trick.
