That's just baffling to me, too. I don't understand the possibility of someone seeing this, and not saying, "Oooh that's not good, we gotta take that out." I mean, you would have thought it was caught in the very first playtest. (???)

(shrug - oh well)

Overall, I think the patched game plays smoother and the graphics have certainly been improved (not nearly as shiny). I *really* hope they address some of the remaining issues (Cough! 3pt BS! Cough) for the 2nd patch - this game would truly shine then.

So far, it's been pretty good. More fouls are welcome. Although, sometimes there are too many fouls seeing as teh CPU loves to drive into the lane.

One things I hate is the random 3 point chucks from way outside the line by the CPU.

This game is flat out weird. I don't know what to say at this stage.

I played two games last night...

One v San Antonio.

First half was great...but then, in the second, the Spurs started shooting 3 point shots from just inside the half court line. They were up by 12 and it was only the third quarter...yet Manu and Tony Parker started hoisting up 3 balls from a meter inside the half court (missed them all, one didn't even make the distance). Crazy stuff.

Second game v Portland

And Andre Miller became Allen Iverson and drove and shot in traffice all game. Hardly passed at all. I know the game has PG domination....but that's crazy.

Weird, weird stuff.

I hope they can just iron out everything and come back with a more stable game in LIVE 11.

did you switch to a 2-3 zone? i've noticed the cpu does do some weird crap when i switch to the 2-3. it's only a couple instances though, nothing really to gripe about.

Post patch this game is Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde to the extreme. Very frustrating, yesterday I got a taste of the greatness of Live '10 post patch and since then I've had one really good game and three absolute stinkers.

No idea what to make of this game, I don't know if the inconsistencies are going to be worth it throughout the entire winter even though I love the gameplay when everything is going well.

Just played against San Antonio as Portland. At the start of the game TP came down and gave the ball to Bonner and he jacked 3s, three straight trips down the court(All Star Difficulty). SMH like everyone else has said this game is tripping me out offline. Please EA make the online ranked games playable......I need fatigue, superstar difficulty and the step back 3 has to be fixed. Maybe I'm just asking for to much, thank god MW2 is about to drop.

I am with you. There's too many boneheaded moments from the CPU. Even the end game stuff is hit and miss. One game they play out the clock well, the next they take the full 24 seconds to get off a shot when down 4 points and only 24 seconds left. I watched the CPU just pass the ball around and take a last second shot...down 4

Same with the rotations...CPU is down by 6 points with only a few mins left and they've got most of their starters sitting. (And they seem to almost never call a T/O unless down by over 10)

The really good moments for this game are great...but there's way too many "WTF" moments in between. The CPU AI is so hit and miss it's not funny. It's a bit dissapointing overall from the perspective of being a season player v the CPU. (Only mode I play).

The inconsistencies aren't worth it long term IMO.
