I concur with your score. I'm in the mid 7's to 8 range as well

For some reason when I call offensive plays the diagram shows but after a qtr or so they disappear?? Anyone else notice this? I check the settings and everything is good there. Not sure on this one??

Gonna start my season this weekend as gonna be off for 4 days starting Monday. Still undecided on 10/11/12 minutes. I play a slow style game sooo

Fast breaks. If they could gets these more refined that would do it for me this year. The rest I could live with

if that is the case with play art disappearing you should post it in the bugs thread. that would definitely need to be fixed.

I played most of the day today, and plan on doing the same the next couple of days as I'm off of work and my wife isn't. I just have so much gaming to do

Despite it's flaws, I can't stop playing this game. It's the most fun that I've had with a basketball game in a long time. I think the biggest reason for that is because every game just feels different.

I played six 12 minute quarter Dynasty games today, and none of them felt the same. I lost a close game to the Nuggets. I beat the Clippers in OT. I got blown out by the Warriors. I blew out the Hawks. And the close games were exciting; getting blown out was frustrating. I was completely immersed in the ebbs and flows of each game. And end the end, that's all that really matters to me.

But, there are a couple things that tend to bother me. I'd really love to know if either of these issues I have might be fixed in a patch:

1) Points in the Paint. It's not a problem every game, but I experience it enough that it can be bothersome at times. It's a combination of not really being able to body up your defender when he's driving the lane/baseline and the hop step animation that can't be stopped. Even just eliminating the hop step cheese would probably eliminate that issue.

2) Blocks. Way too many blocks on jumpers. Demarcus Cousins shouldn't be getting stuffed by Jermaine O'Neal multiple times a game. And again it's not all of the time, but it's annoying when it happens in critical moments.

If they could just fix those two issues for me, I'm golden. But even so, I'm just enjoying the hell out of this game.

Add smoother fast breaks to your post JoeDog and your post is perfect.

I'm already loving the hell out of Live worts and all but these 3 points would just make it even better.

Manually choosing plays and I see movement for five seconds and everyone stands around again. I'm assuming it's because I'm not triggering the next part of the play. Sent from my mobile device.

There is an option in the settings called auto-"something" (sorry not in front of the game right now). I've never played the demo but as I understand it this setting is not in the demo. It's this setting that makes the players move off ball, at least that's how I understand it. Hope this helps and sorry for not having better details

No way you can judge this game by the demo...especially with what has changed....if you can find a way to give the full game a whirl..you should...

I think I would like the pace more if it wasn't the same pace for every team...It's another thing that kind of adds to the generic nature of the game...

Besides a signature move here and there it doesn't really feel any different playing with different guys to me...

Coach settings helps a little when it comes to making teams act differently. This is not absolute fix though but helps.

I think Live should/could steal 2ks idea with signature skills. But give teams signature style. This is one thing that no basketball game has done right to date.

CMH, auto motion in the full game will fix or at least help your standing around issue.

One of my favorite things about the game is that I don't have to run a play each time down the floor. My teammates react to where I am on the floor and for the most part, do a really good job to create space through cuts and off ball screens.
