This NEVER happens from the CPU. I have tried different coverages, manually covering down low, upping Defensive Post Strength to 100...nothing works. This hurts me the most, because once the CPU passes down low, it's an automatic shot and really repetitive. 2 - The 3 point shot. The only way the CPU takes a 3 point shot is with an excellent 3 point shooter or if thy are down big at the end of the game. An above average shooter could be WIDE open on the 3 point line, and they just stand there. It really upsets me, because this game is so good without these two issues, and I can really see myself playing a dynasty for a while if they were to get fixed.

I love the game too but I am as well on hold. I can not take the face up, 6 ft pop just outside the paint by the ai. I have given some suggestions to help slightly, but there is nothing that will change this. I wish that an EA dev would get here and chat with us

So far I've been able to look past the lack of passing out of the low post. I'm finding the lack of 3pt attempts by the AI to be the biggest problem with the game for me. Unless you play a team with a lot of highly rated 3pt shooters, like say, Duke, you're going to be hard pressed to see more than 10 AI attempts in a game of 20-min halves. That's way short of what you would expect in a real NCAA game.

It seems the fundamental code of the game doesn't permit more 3pt shooting unless teams have players rated around 80 or higher in that category. What doesn't help is that I see many players who are capable of hitting the 3 with 3pt ratings in the high 50s. There are others rated a little better in the high 60s. It's not out of the norm to see a team with a maximum of one player rated above 75 in 3pt shooting. This all translates into the cpu not attempting sufficient threes.

Been giving this game a chance the last few days. I love the spacing and the motion offense but I can't get over the repetitive animations when you take the ball to the hoop. Seems like every shot is challenged and I don't see a lot of variety when you drive to the basket. I'm looking for my basketball fix this year and I was hoping NCAA was it. Not sure if I should give 2k a look or deal with some of the NCAA issues.

I'm sure many of you already know this, but lowering the Shot Alter Ability will reduce the crazy amount of contact animations you get sucked into when driving to the hoop.

I have mine and the CPU's at 25 and it has helped a lot with reducing the suctioning commonly seen in this game on drives to the hoop.

I hope that helps some of you out.

I'm going to try it right when I get home from the gym, I hope it helps man thanks.

Nice find.

So the wife bought me NCAA 2010 today...
Should I open it or just get the refund? Seems a few have some big issues with the game.

If you got it as a gift, especially from your wife, I'd say keep it.
