Offline defensive play game to game?

I am playing my career and it seems like some games the pc defense lags off a bit and everything feels more open and able to move around. Other games the defense is glued to me on my hip the whole game and we get pounded by 20. Kind of that EA football syndrome when the pc would inflate stats so they could whip you. Anyone else notice this? In this particular game I was the bulls against the Cavs.

It depends on what coaching profile the AI is using against you. Some teams have an lower D-Pressure as others and/or using more double teams. This might be an explanation for what you´ve been noticed.

The coaching profiles were also messed up in the first official roster, though it appears they have been corrected in the second one.
