Can't we just have a press that we can play less aggressive?

Meaning instead of the huge amount of fouls from B IQ and higher you will just get beat? I mean is that not real life? How many seniors do you see fouling out no matter how many mins or tired they are? Usually they are smart enough with 3 fouls or even 2 fouls to not foul any more and just let the player go around them if they are beat.

I think this would solve the problem that press teams have with having sooooo many fouls, but it would still make the press weaker than in the past.

That's a combo press.

Not a combo press, during the press part there is still the same type of fouling going on.

I am talking about an option to be less aggressive defensively to avoid fouls. It could be used in every defense, but would be most useful in the press.

A combo does do less fouls but that is only because only 1/2 the time you have the high percentage of fouls and 1/2 the time its a lower foul percentage.

Not sure what the point would be. You kinda have a guy jog over and apply a loose dt? Seems like that would just get guys out of position without having them really force the kind of mistakes that the press is intended for.

I think the right way to manage this is to practice press and man and go FCP against crap teams that you have a stamina/IQ adv on, go combo on teams you're more closely matched with and go man vs teams better than you.
