Cut it to 8 late, and it ended up 72-64 in their favor. I tried putting my inside defensive slider up to 100 and only saw one pass out of the post and to be fair the guy wasn't fully entrenched in the post, seems to be an issue as others have mentioned. It would be nice if they would pass it out sometime. I lowered game speed to 41 as was suggested and liked it although at times if I got a board with one of the Illini guards (play McCamey, Paul, Richardson together) it seemed like I could coast for a fast break and beat everyone back. Good in a sense, but it was like the Orange didn't get back quickly enough, not sure if it is due to them having to go to their spots to set up the zone? CPU does not use timeouts unless they are really falling behind, at least from what I have seen. Would like to see them use them more. I think I am going to try fouls at 100 and see if I can get more FT's. Playing against the Orange zone is tough so I didn't get inside as much therefore not getting as many FT's, still would like more for me and the CPU. This will lessen the FGA's as well. 20 minute halves produce good stats although at times the FGA's can be high if you compare it to real life stats. If there are more fouls though the FGA's go down so I hopefully can get more fouls. CPU doesn't turn the ball over enough as well, but I may suck. Had 19 TO's vs the Orange zone. LOL Good players seem to be taking the most shots, but the PG will take alot as well. Some times I see a player stand and dribble a little too long which isn't good. The game has some warts, but there is alot of great gameplay going on. It is not feature or little things rich, but I want to keep playing it. Hoping that continues.

Poster,
think that you are dead on. AI Post play, lack of ai time out's and this new dynamic update wow! CB, that is why people can't play on AC or AA, it is fast as lightening! I can barely hang in Varsity. Actually had to lower game speed south of 40. May do what you did and delete and go to back to my saved rosters

yeah man, I'm not sure what the dynamic update did but the game got quicker and teams became balanced. There was no more separation of good and bad teams in the 5 games post update that I played. I was able to take Pacific, whos a D+, and hang with North Carolina for two games straight.

And as you said, the game seemed to be in fast forward.

After deleting the update and going back to pre-update, things went back to "normal". Not dynamic updates for me. I don't care about authentic schedules and after what I experienced last night, I'm not looking forward to anymore dynamic changes...

I will try to remove the update before I play my next game, odd stuff.

Exactly, no seperation. That is what we all want is the distinction between both great players and teams and bad ones. If I'm not mistaken, these updates were what threw live at of whack

So I played against a team with one of the top 25 toughest place to play (or whatever it's called). Yikes! The screen was shaking - really threw my concentration off...making a free throw was tough to say the least. No wonder I got drilled

So are you telling me that when i get the game don't bother with installing the DU?

[Vechi8]

I would try both rosters and see what you think, open forum if you will. I like the original rosters because the seperation is greater imo

I would wait for Tuesday's update and see. That would be based off this season.
