NBA 2K22 Defensive Settings Tips & Tutorial – Best Lockdown Defence Settings 

Pick & Roll Setting

- Hedge

- Hedge (Center)

- On-Ball Screen (Center)

- Stay Attached

Start off with the key pick-and-roll defensive settings. Make sure stay attached is set to no and then your on-board screen and your hedge for center or for non-center, make sure it's onboard screen is switched and then the hedge is on automatic. You do that, you're going to switch every pick and roll and obviously you want a switchable team, so the bucks are perfect for that.

For On Ball Screen(center), it’s going to solely depend on who the ball handler is. By default, set it to always go under screens to meet the ball handler on the other side. However, if you’re playing a guy who you does not really want to give any space, you can go over to hopefully run him off the 3pt line.

For Hedge and Hedge(center), put both on Catch Hedge. It’s the most conservative setting that allows the big to play both the roll man and the ball handler. At least until your opponent commits to shooting or passing.

Off-Ball Setting 

- Off-Ball Screen/Switch (All)/Swtich Rules Off-Ball

- Post

- Stay Attached

- Hedge (Center)

Set the off ball screen to switch all and at the same time also switch rules, off ball and the post defense. You want to add a three quarters bottom and if you do that, this is what's going to happen, so any off-ball action happens, that action is switched. 

For off ball screens, set this to go under by default and manually change the setting to over on any guy that you feel is a major threat from outside. Swtich rules helps when the computer steps in to aid a defender who is out of position to guard their matchup. Switch All is super valuable if you have versatile players to do it. 

The post is on three-quarters bottom, this is going to give you very good health positioning from your mix if anyone's in the paint and most importantly it's going to get you some easy steel. Three quarters bottom defense rest for sure and also when you're running this all switch on pick and roll and all switch off ball, make sure you keep all your match ups in auto and this will give you insane transition defense because they will switch out a match up.

In conclusion, switch off ball settings are so good, they don’t actually trigger unless it’s threatening in a four switch, so that’s perfect settings.

These are best defence settings that have came across so far in the game, obviously you need the right liner for it, but that’s just the development of the game and it’s such a good game. These settings are so good, but you need a specific team, so that makes sense if you want to shoot on offense you got to get a good shooter, and if you want to run a defense, you don't need great defenders across the board, but you need switchable defenders, so make sure you get those or use a team that has it or run a lineup.
