yes, I've noticed it too fastbreaking is almost perfect now and players react quicker to the action on the court, f.e when there is a steal, one or two guys immediately run on a break

Is the patch good enough where we don't need sliders anymore? Can we play on default with a few minor slider adjustments?

our playing on pro what do you expect.

Well backing down is definitely a lot harder now. I tried to backdown JR Smith with Wilson Chandler and it felt like I was backing down a wall.

I just played a game of 5v5 with the Clippers against the Blazers. This happened to be the first game of 5v5 I have been able to finish. FINALLY! But I don't want to get your hopes up. It is major improvement over the previous games I played pre-patch. However, there is still the occasional major slowdown and the presence of lag has not gone away. All I know is that it is much better than before, though nothing compared to the 5v5 I played in Live 08...haven't played Live 09 yet.

I am seeing better backdown resistance now.

Also I don't understand why some of you thought that post patch would give you default realistic shooting %s. Remember we are the minority.

guys, have you noticed that when you run a play players do not walk anymore but RUN through screens - it seems it has been fixed

I also get the impression that they made playing d more physical

I definitely see more midrange jumpers

I tried backing down Chamberlain with Cowens and got pushed damn near to mid court. Only game play issue is that im starting to get fouled on every drive to the lane but hopefully sliders'll fix that.


Also unfortunately CAPS and legends still dont show up in the league leaders section during season/association.
