need some help on defense

i'm having a heck of a hard time trying to defend one on one in this game... i try to play close up to the man, but they generally find a way to blow past by me... which one of the gameplay settings can i modify to help me out? should i:

1. increase USER ON-BALL DEFENSE ASSIST all the way?
2. increase USER ON BALL PHYSICAL DEFENSE all the way?

any help is greatly appreciated... thanks!

Check the sliders thread.

This is NBALIVE, there is no such thing as defense. you will have to match their every shot inorder for you to win.

That's not true johnnyboy. Maybe you just can't play defense.

Physical Defense

maderic9 - also hold down the right analog stick to guard against the drive, and when they start to drive by you, back up with the offensive player to keep them in front of you. I find if I play too close to the offensive player - especially the quicker guards - it is easier for them to drive by me...course I'm not winning any awards for defense if you know what I mean. Try practicing with the 1-on-1 game mode.

Yea adjust the "On-Ball Physical Defense" slider

steeleman, thanks.. thats a good tip.. i've been practicing my spacing a bit more, and it seems to work.. no more hugging AI at the perimeter!
