By default most of the NBA 2K uses double teams with really low frequency; using CE we can have the CPU use it more:


I found the way to change it using Cheat Engine, for home & away teams, below the mini tutorial:
[Mini Tutorial]
Open NBA 2k20-2k23
Open Cheat Engine and attach in to NBA 2K
Start the game and go into coach sliders

look for new scan value "50":

increment the Help Defense to "51" and perform a next scan to the same value:

...you will get just one memory address:

...this is what we're looking for so look for memory around this memory map:

I usually put:
Home & Away Help: 160
Home & Away Double Teams: 190
.....this will also make CPU use more "TRAP" defense call....both half court and full court.....but just experiment with other values.
I usually keep lower values for exhibition and higher values for playoff games....
Enjoy!

Some FAQ / answer to some mail I got and some DM:
- Those values are for play now / just one game: they reset every game
- I will eventually release a CT table for you all
- Every Team has those values in roster / coach settings...but we don't have them visible...maybe Looyh can eventually add them to roster editor
- All of the above is experimental: just play with some values / fit based on how you play the game
- It works from 2k20-2k23 for sure...maybe also 2k17-2k23

Thanx maumau

Looks related to the hidden settings I discovered on 2k20 when using limnono, but I never succeed to enable them.

Very useful. Is there other hidden sliders ? Could be huge. Do you think there is a way to have it in myleague one day or impossible ?

More hidden? Maybe...the "browse memory" has some other values.....we can try
About MyLeague, I think it actually works....

Yeah and It's kind of sad they avoid to talk about game issue, that could be solved with some sliders.
What I like is that with lower value I play exhibition....while I turn to high value for playoffs....It add some deep...

If you can map them all and make a table for them, that would be awesome. If Looyah could incorporate all of this in his roster editor, it would be mega awesome.

Is there any news about this extraordinary discovery?
A CT table would be super since I couldn't make it work for 2k22 and 2k23...

Preliminary table is attached to this post; as usual you have to find the initial pointer if the .exe is different than mine.
This will also work for NBA 2k19,20,21, and 22......

Thank you very much for the table Maumau!
Could you please point me to a tutorial to make it work with NBA 2k19?
My apologies to bother you but kind of a newbie here...
Sun Nov 05, 2023 11:03 pm
How can I make it work for NBA 2k19?
Wed Nov 08, 2023 4:19 am

Does this also correct the fact that the AI does not make a 2-way take when there is a big difference in size at the low post?

Do you think that's doable with NBA 2K25?
