Is it worth the upgrade?

Yeah them defensive flaws are a killer in 2k20, iam currently trying to play now and it's near impossible to stay in front of your man with the skating and a screen means the offensive player has a land to the basket because zero or very little help is coming

This. Fix the defense. They've had plenty of opportunity to do so. Tired of the blow-bys, no switching weak-side help defense, and the ease of scoring coming off screens and the pick @ roll.
