if i lock the opposing player (like you did it by granger) he just cuts to the inside and recives a pass for the layup, is there a way to not let him beat you with the arm swing or whatever he use ?

[ZihinMaster]

Yes. The offensive player has counters to being face guarded or locked on. But you have the same counters. When he moves, you move the Left-Thumbstick in the direction he's going. You can also move the Right-Thumbstick in the same direction but the Left-Thumbstick is more effecitve. If you're late with your movement, you'll get beat. So lock onto the offensive player long enough to deny him the ball. Afterwhich, be ready to adjust & defend a cut because that's the next move to get free.

When do you double team? Also what do you set your matchups and double team/pressure when your playing great teams like Lakers & Celtics

[ZihinMaster]

There's no specific time to double but refer to Part VI.....Defensive Rotation (Off-Double).

Also, there's no specific matchup & pressure settings against certain teams. It's according to what team you have, how skilled you are in particular areas (ex User LockOnD), & your style of play.

i have i question, do you adjust your A.I. to make it more real?

[ZihinMaster]

Yes, I play on HOF & use specific sliders to make it more realistic & difficult (in some areas of the game).

[jokerz619]

just put it on hallf of fame mode. makes it as realistic as possible. and it makes ur computer teammates more reliable. cuz u never wanna lose a game because ur computer teammates are too easy.

It's a Sony camera with video sync.

What do you use to record videos? Just a camera?

[ZihinMaster]

No, it's not as effective as manually playing denial defense. Deny in the menu just makes them play super tight (according to how great their defensive attributes are).
