I'm playin with arkansas and I'm tryin to play like they do in real life and have the backup pg start 14 games and not let my starting pg play any cause he got suspended. I put him on the botton right before the redshirt players go and when I play games it subs my suppose to be starting pg in. I have auto-subs on cause I want every to get minutes except him. Anyway to stop him from coming in without turnin off auto-subs

Has anyone seen no-look or behind the back passes when using the freestyle passing? Just curious.

Btw, I'm finally seeing some alley-oop dunks I'm playing with the dunk slider at 100, and its almost perfect IMO.

I have in Live, but haven't in NCAA yet. I've gotten a few nice alley-oops.

[ehh]

I think you have to have a PG with a high pass rating (maybe 95+?) to get a lot of alley oops. In my second UConn season Kemba Walker had 99 for passing I believe and I was able to throw alley-oops left and right.

just curious.. i'm about to pick up this one, but what system do you guys recommend it for? PS3 or 360? I usually only get exclusives for PS3.. but it seems the roster for the PS3 version really helps.. thanks in advance.

With what I have heard on these boards its best to go with ps3. 360 has a lot of freeze issues from what I have heard. I have had the game since it came out on ps3 and have had only 2 freezes.

Just got the game because I am tired of playing 2k8 for 3 years. Here are my initial impressions:

- I am not noticing the horrible CPU post game like others have. Sure, a couple times they get the ball and just shoot it right away, but it is so quick I can't block it and I've seen a lot of nice drop step moves and some pass outs.

- Love the Motion Offense, and all the plays. My high school team actually runs a variation of the Dribble Drive, so running it in this game is awesome.

- The rosters, appearances, and ratings in this game are pretty bad. I mean a walk-on from UConn is rated a 79, John Wall is in the 90's for 3 pointer. Some guys have the wrong skin color. Even with downloaded rosters, it's still bad.

- I thought without tendencies that star players wouldn't take over games for the CPU. I was wrong, as John Wall dropped 24 on me in a 10 minute half game the first time I played.

- I like the presses, and zone defenses in this game, as they are not as hectic in 2k8s where steals in the backcourt are easy. Presses really force teams to make quick shots, so if your an up-tempo team it plays to your favor.

- Passing in this game is crazy. I love the off-ball control, as I like to cut somebody into the weakside of a 2-3 zone for some easy buckets. Once I see a team like Syracuse's zone rise a little bit, I can zip a pass behind the D. Also the freestyle passing leads to some great passes for bigs finishing.

- Stars can do some really cool stuff in this game. In a game against my brother, Ohio State at Xavier, I had 40,11 and 10 with Evan Turner thanks to some great free-style passing and some amazing euro-steps, step backs, and up and unders. He had 58 with Jordan Crawford as he did the same in a 3 overtime thriller. At the end of the game we had to have Crawford or Turner shoot because they couldn't be stopped and we couldn't risk some one else shooting.

So far I've had a good experience with this game.
