I will play the dynasty mainly because the "Don't" have real roster. I'm finding that the teams don't really play like their real life counter parts. So using fake names or numbers lowers my expectation of how a team should play so not having real rosters is fine with me.

I agree with you, I find I am playing this more and more kinda grows on me.

No one is mentioning this but it's something that really bothered me in the demo. Are all made jumpshots nothing but net? In the demo I never saw a made jumpshot go in with any variety. They were all swished. Is this something that has changed on the retail version. The demo reminded me of Doube Dribble when it came to making jumpshots and how they all were swished.

Sorry to bug guys but I would like to see if someone can help me here picked this game up yesterday started a dynasty and when i am recruiting it lets me offer a scholorship to some players but some other players i want to offer it is grayed out but i am high on there list and help here would be great thanks

go irish you only have a certain amount of scholarships so when they are grayed out it is because you dont have anymore scholarships to give out.

Crques,
I have seen a few hit the rim then roll around and go in, but the majority are swishes. I have yet to see one bank off the backboard though.

With sliders turned up all the way you or the cpu could easily foul out. I have had to turn a few of them down. You can find a level you're happy with I'm sure. This has always been a BIG issue for me and EA has some sliders that work well for a change IMO.
