Do you really believe that you can't double team playing a full-court defense?  I guess I take it at face value, but the fact that the feature to double team players isn't grayed out or "not eligible" in some way makes me wonder if that's really the case.

Like I said, I believe the ruling, but there's enough doubt to make me question it, especially when double teamed players aren't denoted in a game ala the NBA sim.....thoughts?

Double teams are denoted in the play by play, are they not?

I feel like I looked before and didn't see it/them, although I'm admittedly not an avid perveyor of the pbp

I just am trying to understand, if you are double teaming everyone like they say the full court press is to do, then how would it be that you can't double team.  You are already double teaming the player with the ball, so no further denotion is necessary is it?  Unless you want a "triple team" option to where a certain player gets triple teamed when you are already double teaming everyone else.

when you double team - not in press - it will appear in play by play - not every possession but often

I have never tried to double team in addition to the full court press

There are natural double teams in the press, you can't single out players to be double teamed. The guys who have the ball the most will get doubled the most in a press.
