zone defense works!

[bulls96]

i never used zone defenses before, even though it was an option, but in this year's live, i just had to look at other options on D.

it works, if you know how to use it. its easier to clog the passing lanes, and to create turnovers.

and the best part about it is that, the AI knows when to use the zone themselves. example, it was winning time in the dying seconds, my team's down by one. i usually call isolation. actually ALWAYS, for MJ of course. then the Wolves suddenly turned into the zone. and they had me confused! i could not penetrate well, and i lost the game.

AHHH! thats basketball!

man, im from europe and we play zone since i can think.

Against good playing zones there's only one real option to kill: Distance Shootings!

Another option is to to move the Ball (passing or penetrating) and keeps the zone in motion, therefore some defender might change the position not fast enough and you can find the wholes in the zone.

In NBA 2k3 it depends 1. on your opponent (Human or CPU).

Therefore it's alot easier to kill a CPUs zone than a Humans zone, because Humans can also improvise and leave the standard zone to prevent a basket, if it's needed.

And 2. your options depends on your kind of rosters, you are using...
