et me give you guys some tips that you may know or not. i haven't seen anything here or in any other forums.
Lebron and Kobe dunk on me all the time i cant stop them.
Get your best defensive player on him and stop playing them so tight. give them enough space so you can back peddle and call for help if you do get beat. dont hold the D-button if they are not moving TO THE BASKET. if they go left or right all it takes is a quick cross and your beat.
I found a small secret that im not sure many of you know about. The Defense button is like a battery on your legs. the longer you hold it the more the battery is being used. that is why i say dont use it unless the guy is going to the basket.( BECAUSE IF YOU DO GET BEAT OF THE DRIBBLE YOUR LEGS ARE STILL CHARGED AND YOU CAN JUMP TO CONTEST THE SHOT OR MAKE BODY CONTACT) effecting the shot. this is why sometimes the player has a lay up but comes up short. because of body contact.

when dude is baking you up and he is mid range use a different player to go for the steal and make him pass it. you can recover to your man since it was mid rage. Now if he is getting deep and you dont want to call for help because you may leave the open 3 then this is what i do. dont hold the D-button until he goes for his move, then immedietly get as tight as you can and brinng up your Defensive lock on. your guys legs will be fresh and he will react much faster. you may not block it but he will most likely miss. (the counter to this is that you may jump on the pump fake)
let me know how this work for you guys thanks. i dont call people cheeser because you just have to change your D
