I would love to be able to control defensive pressure, such as setting "high," "average" or "low" pressure to help dictate the style of defense my team would play, both as a team as a whole and the level of pressure applied to each opposing player.  It would help coaches better take advantage of weak offensive players on the other team by applying "high" pressure to try to force turnovers and bad shots.  Also, a "high" pressure team defense could help offset the slowdown offense a little bit and give the defense the ability to control the tempo of the game a bit more.  There have been many times where I wanted to combat a slowdown offense with more defensive pressure to try to create an uptempo style of play, but unfortunately it isn't an option.  I would think that "high" pressure defense would have to result in more fouls (especially when being done with a player who has low DEF, SPD and/or ATH ratings), but it could be very effective, especially if you play M2M defense and have a lot of players with high DEF ratings.

I agree with you and would like to have more control over defensive pressure. In addition to these settings i would like to see an option where you can assign a player  to guard someone else beside the player who plays the same postion as them. Say i have a good PG with a great defense rating who i can have guard the other teams SG or SF, but still run my offense from the PG position.
