How can the king of the sim universe be a PG leading his team to a *dominant* 8-7 record?

I don't have any defense.

Have you looked at your team's defensive ratings?

[KingsGM-old]

Sure i did. And i don't like them much.

The stats don't lie...he's 4th last in oPPG.

Of course that probably has more to do with the settings he is playing with than the player's ability to defend

I don't think there's anything wrong with the settins. Good defensive teams should work under NORMAL settings (press, trap and pace).

Press, trap and pace should be tinkered with to utilize your teams strengths.

If I was coaching your team I would not be using normal, as I do not believe it is the best way to utilize your teams strengths.

Thing about pace is, i'm already turning the ball way too many times, if i go with faster it would only get worse.

As far as trap and press is concerned, i don't like to make them tired so i just stick with normal. But i'll probably give it a try.

Actually i'm pretty sure my main blow on defense is the frontcourt. Chambers is still not ready and it's kinda undersized for a PF and Billy Cartwright isn't much of a defender as well. Could really use a great shotblocker & defender at C so i could move Billy to PF and Chambers to SF which would boost both, defense and rebounds.

Settings are all about trial and error...just sticking with normal doesn't always get it done - I tried to do so for a long time


I have a few general conceptions about what sort of players thrive under certain settings...but it's mostly just a case of me stumbling upon the right ones.
