Am I the only one that picked up on the Will Farrell, Old School refrence?

For me it works by position (when I play as the Cavs against the Lakers online I put LeBron on Kobe, but some people are smart enough to move Kobe to SF then to guard LeBron and if I'm not paying attention get guarded by Boobie Gibson or something.

But sometimes the switching in-game doesn't make sense, I make the adjustments and hit X (PS3) then get out of it and they reset after that possession.

It would be nice if the assignments started being player based, for a week or two I would shuffle Gay all over the floor from the 2 to the 4 from quarter to quarter (2-3-4-2) just to take advantage of different matchups that would result from guys adjusting their matchups and having guys defending out of position. It'd be nice if that sort of strategy were replaced with more complex player specific matchups.

those that played choops you would know what they are talking. you can assign bowen to play kobe, no matter what position bowen would guard him, so no longer do u have to worry about cheesers trying to get a mismatch by keep swithing kobe to different positions, bowen will follow.
