fast breaks. This should result in your team pulling down more
defensive rebounds.
Crash Boards: To get more players on the glass, move the Crash
Boards slider to the right. Moving the slider to the left will cause
fewer players on your team to pursue the rebound and more
players to be in position for a fast break.
Double Team: If your opponent has a player or two that is having a
great game against your team, then consider double-teaming
them. By default, the setting for each opposing player is set to
AUTO. Your players will automatically double-team that offensive
player when he is in easy scoring position. If you set Double Team
to NEVER, your defenders will never double-team that opposing
player. If Double Team is set to IN PAINT, your defenders will
double-team that offensive player when he has the ball in the key.
If you set Double Team to ALWAYS, your defenders will always
double-team that player whenever he has the ball.

Matchups: This is the screen where you can assign defensive
matchups. Each of your players on the floor has an opposing
player to guard. If your team is getting beat by a hot player,
change the matchup to put a better defender on him. The players in
the upper left of the screen are your team’s defenders. The players
in the upper right are the opposing players that they are assigned
to guard. The bottom portion of the screen shows the player
portrait and vital information of the selected players.
Pressure: This is where you can determine how much defensive
pressure each of your players should apply to the player they’re
