I think AC is the way to go, but I have tried alot of slider adjustments with no luck, still getting ruffed up on the boards, turnovers, blocks, and speed on fast breaks from opposing centers.

I don't know what to do currently, I have tried to find a level that works but its getting near dark on this front. I wish we had last years sliders, we need to be able to turn down cpu speed and defensive awareness. I don't want to mess with the cpu's shot but I have exhausted all other outlets.

Steve was saying he was having issues as well. Do you think if you turned down in air coll. way down it would help?

I did play live. loved it until patch and then no go. I'm holding it, praying for patch 2

Have finally had a chance to get some games in...

First impressions...

Graphically? Overall it has a polished look very much like live

Minus the shoulders of player models on the skinniest build the player models are very decent
(quick quib for those wondering about face editing etc) You CAN do a decent job trying to recreate guys. the hairstyles and player faces are pretty decent from a face model standpoint. You have the option of about over 60 or so hairstyles and then face models along with skin complexion

Accessories look better than Lives hands down.

Presentations? I think everyone who has played it knows. however what i didn't know about were the replays! Simply awesome.

Basic gameplay out of the box? VERY decent. It's just smoother this year so much so not to mention animation wise it's gotten an overhaul.

On the debate between this and Live? I can't be biased as I've gotten my NBA Live 10 to play fantastically...Probably will be the case for this game as well...

Very happy with the game so far initially...


BUT stay tuned

I think all the in air coll effects is the fouls called on that, it doesn't effect the amount of it you see unfortunately.

I'm still going to stick with Varsity, problem is I have no idea where to start to make it a little tougher. With no awareness or help D effectiveness slider I'm stumped at the moment.

I just got done bumping the difficulty up and I am with you on that one. I really hope someone can figure this out because I love the smoothness of the gameplay on varsity. The collisions down low kill me.

The cpu's defense is too weak on varsity, my suggestion is to help our defense on on AC, but don't know where to start really, maybe we can collectively figure out how to balance it out on varsity, it appears to easy to score though.

Man wish we had a defenisve awareness slider, it may kill the game for me in all honesty. Varsity would be great if we could increase the cpu's help defense.

Try lowering game speed to 41. I'm seeing way less annoying contact animation on drives!!! Actually getting layups off.

What level are you on, AC?
