For some crazy reason, quite a few times, the guards go all the way to the half court line to pick up their man.ģ. Your players aren’t smart enough to put focus on shooters at the 3 point line.Ģ. The main problems with zone in this game are:ġ. Zone is extremely broken in this game, unless you can keep track of the whole court and correct all defensive mistakes the AI makes (which I’ve seen some people do phenomenally), you’re just going to get beat using the zone.

Most of my games are against guys who refuse to play man to man because they feel they can’t stay in front of the player. However, I guess it should be kinda excepted, since I'm using one of the worse teams in the game.I think zone defense is bugged in 2k18, isn't like 17Īnyway I don't know why people don't like zone defense, it's a method of defense and isn't overwhelm or overpower, it's good for paint protector but leaves much space on the perimeter, mainly on 2k18 I consider myself above average on defense, but it was challenging experience playing this game.

With a 'descent' team, it could give you fits like no other. With a solid defensive team, it's beatable. Call me a coward if you want to.Īs a side note, I'm kinda torn on the driving 'exploit'. I like the challenge of using regular rosters, but I love the dominance of the Classic Pacers roster, lol. I ended losing by eight points after blowing a 3 point lead with 2:15 left. The game went back and forth until I started making some costly mistakes in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. I was doing alright, but it took a whole lot of switching and changing coaching settings to keep the game close. This opponent was using the Lakers, and he combined the PnR game with the driving 'exploit'. I used the current Pacers roster, and it was hard as hell stopping the relentless attack into the paint.
