When i use the sharpshooter lineup the defense keep switching from pg to the sg mostly. Rarely to the C and pf while not switching at all ti the sf. Even when i use auto switching it doesn't switch to the defender facing the oppo. Except it switches to someone far apartI haven't been brave enough to use SS in league yet. All of em seemed OK in SD. Street gave me no issues in LVL
The more I play with SS the more I agree with those that say this is an intentional attempt to mimick a zone defense. To that all I can say is this what they spent their coding resources and efforts on? Are you f’ing kidding me?!
My experience with LD and Street is at least positive post update. I agree SS is f’d up but now that I understand how the switch works (by player zone not nearest ball) it’s somewhat manageable. I can see where you’re coming from though if your eggs are in the SS basket. I’ve stuck with LD and Street for Ultimate since early on because it seems to fair better in lvl.It was absolutely intentional. And it’s frigging ridiculous. How on earth could anyone think this would make gameplay more fun? Just how detached is the NBALM team from the reality of what players want? Seems they are at least the width of the Grand Canyon from us. I’ve been in contact with EA community manager and all he will say is “they are aware of the problem and working on it.” The issue with that Answer is my next question was -please answer this precise question: are defense Switching changes to SS lineup an intentional change to try to create a zone defense? And EA reps fell silent to that question. So “they are aware blah blah blah” is a canned Answer.
Edit - I also asked the community manager if EA would put a poll on Twitter - (1) keep current switching for Sharpshooter lineup or (2) Return Sharpshooter lineup switching to how it was before the app updates. The response - crickets. They don’t give one f###.
So how do you switch to the correct zone. I’m terribly confusedMy experience with LD and Street is at least positive post update.

The problem is that your defensive AI should follow the rules for the defensive alignment you're using......but you should always be able to switch players and make the controlled players do exactly what you want. Otherwise..... it's not true Manual Gameplay. And they should've seen that and therefore never changed how SS works until they could figure it outMy experience with LD and Street is at least positive post update.

As far as I can tell the zone defense is divided into 3 or 4 quadrants. The PG and SG seem to share a quadrant, the SF and C and the PF and C. I say 3 or 4 because the top of the key is still confusing. Anyway, the reason you can’t switch between PG and SF (or C/PF) at the top of the key is because that “zone” is only shared with the SG so when you hit switch it goes to the SG even if he’s further from the ball. When the ball goes to the corner and the SF (or PF) are controlled and the PG (or SG) enters the zone it’s possible to switch back to him or (I think) even the C as long as he’s in the zone.So how do you switch to the correct zone. I’m terribly confused
Admit it, you secretly long for the days of BW and Jenny from the Block!I've always hated their lack of communication with the community at large
The Cornell and Hoffman era was the best one sadly lolAdmit it, you secretly long for the days of BW and Jenny from the Block!

Lol. You got me!Admit it, you secretly long for the days of BW and Jenny from the Block!
Yeah its intentional. If it wasnt the bug would be fixed alreadyIt was absolutely intentional. And it’s frigging ridiculous. How on earth could anyone think this would make gameplay more fun?
