Happy holidays! I’ve been noticing that I can’t select man-to-man defense in the Game Tactics page, but other teams seem to be able to do that. There isn’t any section regarding that option in the tactics page, and I’m wondering if some other people have the same problem. Also, why do you think I can’t see the man-to-man defense option? Thank you!

Man to man % = 100 - zone - pressure.

So set if you set zone to 0 and pressure to 0 you'll play the whole game man to man

To clarify and expand on what lmartins6746 said. You only have 100 % available to distribute between "Zone Percentage" "Pressure Percentage" and Man to Man Percentage which is not shown.

So if you set "Zone Percentage" to 100 then Man to Man will be 0 and pressure would be 0 meaning all Zone defense and no Man to Man and no pressure.

With that said, if you were to leave "Zone Percentage" and Pressure percentage at 0 then man to man would be 100% with zero Zone or Pressure.

It is also important to realize that if you have a team full of bad perimeter defenders meaning their Out Side defense and things like IQ and Speed are bad then your Man to man defense might not be all that effective.

The same with Zone but the zone setting seems to be a bit more forgiving if the players are strong and have height.

Regardless how good the players actually are the set percentages will still be carried out and shown in the box score.

Hope that helps, thats the way it works.
