Thank you very much for your answers. No fast breaks from the CPU is very dissapointing and, unfortunately, enough for me not to buy the game. I guess this means EVERY CPU team just walks it up, point guard to the top of the key and calls a play? That would get boring very, very fast. The modern NBA is a fast break / track meet style league. No CPU fast breaks basically means the game is not remotely realistic.

[WTF]

I saw 2-3 fast breaks last game. All 3 off of steals, and a 3-1 fast break off of a rebound. All against Golden State.

They weren't as "pretty" as I'd have liked to see executed, but they were there.

Could you please post some vids of fast breaks if you can? Sorry to ask, but it's a game breaker for me. I have watched CPU v CPU videos and there just seems nothing. This is a SUNS v CLIPS video, two extreme fast breaking sides and there's absolutely nothing. Both sides walk it up and then pick and roll or (terribly) post up their bigs. I have watched almost every Phoenix game this season and they play nothing like this. In this video they post up Len and Okafor non stop. They look like the Knicks of the Ewing era, not a modern day run and gun Suns team. I am desperately hoping these early videos and demo are all wrong. (I am in the same boat as everyone, I love 2K14 but i can't play it at the moment due to frequent crashes) Would have liked an alternative choice.

[WTF]

The crashes led me here too

I'll see if I can grab some videos tomorrow night. I should have an opportunity to play then.

I'd download the demo again if you haven't. I don't know if its Synergy or not, but the teams are playing differently than they were when the demo first dropped.

Beats me

I tried the demo at a friends house and I really can't say I was vastly disappointed as I was expecting it to be bad so it pretty much lived up to my expectations.
