Perimeter Lockdown is a playstyle label, not a height preset — your Cronus Shooting stack should reflect how you actually win: iso, spot-up, pick-and-roll, or switch defense.

Shooting profile bundles combine multiple release assists under one menu category.

Switch-heavy Rec matchmaking punishes predictable iso automation; keep exit routes manual even if primary combo is assisted.

Double-team sequences expose maxed dribble assist — practice manual pass-out before enabling secondary automation.
