Is there any way around the CPU bigs "catch and shoot" in the post thing??????????

I am getting 8 blocks a game just rejecting that crap. If you have a bigger defender on the CPU PF / C it's almost impossible not to block their shot as it's so predictable.

I tried not contesting the shots for a while as it's way too easy to block...but it's basketball man, I can't just ignore their shots in the post.

Is there any way around this?

CPU..****n play...across comes their PF / C...guard feeds him in the post...and you 100% know he's now going to get it, turn around and shoot.

All I have to do is bring over my bigger defender and I can block it every time almost.

If you turn down short range shooting to 40 or less and layup percentage for the AI to 35 it seems to help don't know why but I have notice somewhat of a difference.

Actually, this makes some sense. I've noticed that the cpu has a tendency to go to its strength. If short range shooting and layup success are turned down the cpu may not be as aggressive on those turnarounds in the post. I have those turned down as well. I don't think it makes a huge difference but it might make a little difference.

So to the guys who played the Cuse, they start in man on the first possession then go to zone pretty much the whole game? That's about what I remember when I played them a while ago. I think every team starts in man for the first possession. If that's in fact the case that's an extremely minor pet peeve.

I just have to say I've had this game since the day it came out and I must say I am still addicted to it. I don't want to play anything else.

I FINALLY got my copy through the other day after stock issues and stupid Christmas post. From the first trailer I really wanted this game to be good and was genuinely gutted when I read the reviews, initial comments, etc. Thing was, the presentation just kept calling to me so I figured I would have to at least try the game to get it out of my system and whack it on ebay if I couldn't play it.

I'm SO glad I did get it and it was definitely worth the wait! I have to agree with a lot of people in that it's not perfect, but it's just so much damn fun. The presentation is truly amazing (my friend who isn't a sports fan at all was even blown away and just kept saying "It's like watching a real game!"over and over), but the gameplay is FAR better than I was expecting. The well known issues just don't bother me to be honest, but I think that's because I'm only seeing them very rarely (using bluengold's sliders). Not had a freeze yet either, but it's early days.
I'm finding the move's a lot more instinctive and easier to pull off than in 2K as well. Granted there isn't the variety though.
Again, like others, I really can't see me going back to CH2K8 now. Credit to EA this year that I can finally retire NFL2K5 and CH2K8.

I'm sure the presentation is blinding me to some of the faults, and maybe that'll wear off, but for the time being I can't remember playing any sports game before where I've had a smile on my face the whole time.

A few times i've tried to stuff the shot and they pump fake and go with the up and under move, thus making me look stupid.

Is it safe to say that if I like NBA Live's pace, gameplay mechanics, and control scheme (Which I do), that I'll like this game just as much?
