There is no defense in this game

[SHOGUN]

You can score at will in the paint because the AI defenders always favor the ball instead of their man. Several times have my guys been in position to defend, but end up being turned around magically in the paint. Perimeter defense is fine, but the post defense is HORRIBLE and it allows for absurdly easy alley-oops. Derrick Rose and Devin Harris pretty much tried to throw alley-oops all game - and they worked.

Grizzlies (me) - 83 Points/54 PIP
Nets (CPU) - 89 Points/76 PIP

Come the fuck on.

You can't use sliders online.....

[Dez]

I cant score for shit in the paint and my team often cant play D in the paint. I'm losing my mind while trying to find some sliders.

[MRN]

You can't use sliders online.....

Why would you play online?

[.RoCkEtS1]

2k sucks online. Best offline sports game though.

[Primetime]

2K is great online, when you play a realistic player.

[SuperNova854]

Oh and tomoatoe I wouldnt be talking if I was you, you scored 54 of your 83 points in the paint.

[ryne candy]

is PIP % still a problem in the game?

[dave]

Points in the paint has been a big issue with this game for a while.
It's a shame, because it's been a fine online game otherwise.

[LC AAU]

If you abuse it, it is a problem.

If you play a sim opponent, you will be fine.

[krulmichael]

Yea. You need to find a more sim opponent.

Like...*gasp* fellow VSN'ers! :O

[Vinsane]

You gotta be sim first to play sim.

lol.. go to options. controller > controller setup or something like that

there is a slider for cpu defensive help strength. turn it down. I was having the same problem, the CPU overcompensating too much. turned it down, now the AI doesn't do it anymore and sticks to their man like I want them to.

it's easy to complain about something and say a game is fucked up if you're not aware of a setting that corrects it.

This wasn't against a human, it was against the computer on All-Star. The CPU scored 85% of their points in the paint. I could only imagine what would happen against an actual person.

is PIP % still a problem in the game?

Very much so.
