That most likely won't happen though. 2k is just trying to help out those less skilled in the subtle natures of playing D but it doesn't stop you from putting the DA at zero.

Are you guys talking about vs CPU or vs User?

I agree on the teammate AI. I hope that they are more smarter when it comes to defending perimeter players off the ball. Last year, they tended to sag off too much then try to help another teammate then gave up easy buckets.
I just hope they play tighter when it is a good shooter because they sagged off if they had a high enough drive tendency.

I'm talking primarily user vs. user iLL. People can play how they want vs. the cpu as that's not my concern. People can play how they want against a user too I just like going head to head against a user -I D them up they D me up

Mean no disrespect to those who don't feel the same.

Yeah that's why i wanted clarification. I didn't know if 24th & illwill were speaking on the same thing.

Me personally I change defenders constantly. By default I play on ball, but I hate how guys in 2k12 always get caught on screens so i'm constantly switching defenders whenever I see a screen about to happen.

yeah, there are certain times when you almost have to switch defenders since you can't always trust your AI teammates to rotate properly.

I am mainly talking about CPU vs CPU. I didnt like that even good/great defender would sag off if a player had high enough drive tendency. Hopefully they play tighter. Mainly because they would try to help out and leave players WIDE open

I hope the defense is/has been improved. Because that just makes it too easy. And when I play association (12 min quarters) and I have a few blowouts vs several teams I don't want to play like that. I want a team to actually try and play decent defense. Maybe let a guard defend me full court but not every player.

You could, you know, walk the ball up and set your offense instead of blowing by the full-court press. But I agree, it's too easy to exploit.

Best preview I've heard so far. It really puts my mind at ease knowing you can finally slash to the basket and actually finish a layup with out getting blocked by a gaurd's knee or some ****.

I haven't heard much about the foul calls, but I really hope there are more shooting and blocking fouls, or at least the fouls are called consistent for both user and CPU. I know you can change sliders, but not in Online Associations where you have to play the CPU teams sometimes.

I'll be happy as a clam if they add sliders and flex schedules to the Online Association, and I know it's too much to ask for the ability to edit players' accessories in OA.
