Like not giving the lane away completely like that, but when you have a clearly quicker player, maybe give you that first half-step where the defender has to work harder to get off your hip and back in front.

Right, especially w\ the help D logic they have....itd be pretty solid.

I mean it isnt just LBJ that does this, its just a part of the game....Its a major part of my game IRL...I have a nasty first step lol

Man, if the post game was smoother, I'd be going insane.

I'm finally starting to figure out how to beast in the paint. It's just that there's not much control.

Man, once you start commanding double teams, it's a thing of beauty. The offense totally opens up.

I'm gonna keep practicing.

You dont have to look far...you wont go deep into a basketball clip w\o seeing it....

I typed in "drive to the basket" and this came straight up

Would be sweet, because it wouldn't always amount to buckets, and would lend more authenticity to playing great defensive teams, as they'll be there to help and cut you off more, forcing rotations. And lesser defensive teams would just prob give up the attempt at the rim.
So Kobe will go off vs GSW, but against BOS he might have to pullup with a defender on his hip more, resulting in maybe same points total, but more attempts as the D plays the %'s.

I swear devs shouldn't even need to watch games, just follow these threads. Love how we sit here and pick these games apart and we all feel we're normal.
But my girl thinks we're all insane. lol

I just played and had one of the most fun and exciting basketball games I think I've ever had in my gaming experience. I'm an online guy and I think I'll be diving into some dynasty mode this year.

I wish I had a capture card to show some of the things I've been witnessing in this game. I mean this last game I played Kobe was just going off and this is the first time I've actually seen them go to him like this and I've played a good 40+ games. I mean he was hitting threes, down on the low post doing turnaround J's, attacking the basket, it was absolutely stunning to see. I really think the A.I. code in this game is messed up and were in for a real treat once the retail game comes out. Because this last game I played, the A.I. was running plays straight through Kobe, their was so many off ball screens. Nelson got knocked on his a** 3 times from screens. illegal off ball screens, I mean everything. Although I will say 3 in the key needs to be patched, it was right in 09 but it's not registering correctly in the demo.

I also suggest bumping up to Superstar, I've been playing on this level the last couple of games and this is where I'm really starting to see tons of things. The intensity in this game is massive. Im just amazed right now.

That was obvious. Walking size up. Heso drive right. The game's version is not that subtle.

have you bumped the level up b/c if you didn't its automatic on pro and that's for the people who don't really know how to play and the game is easier on that level.

Try putting it on superstar and the cpu will toast you...trust me...thats the level i play on and it is a real challenge.
