another thing...
there is truly minimal difference in setting defensive pressure on and off ball. smother/tight/moderate/gap dont mean **** in 2k17. neither does "protect the paint" or "no threes"
why put them in if they dont mean ****?
if you choose to "smother" a guy like KD, it should be hard for him to get an open 3 without screens etc, but relatively easier to get an edge in getting to the basket.
defensive players for the most part totally ignore the "deny" feature. deny should make it harder to get a passing lane to that player but make backdoor cuts by the offensive player easier (within reason) and depending on the defender.
if they are creating more archetypes, then allow players strengths to dictate the action, and the strategy itself to counter. in 2k17, it was useless to play with a guard like kyle lowery because he wasnt quick or fast enough to do anything. he is one of the stronger PGs in the league and his strength should be his STRENGTH! you shouldnt have to be the quickest and fastest at your position to get by your man consistently.
