I've had it happen twice in the last 4 games I've played. I find myself trying not to have a 3 point lead with less than a min left. They really need to find out what's causing this.

Well, you'd be only wasting 20 or 24 minutes. Games are locked 5 minutes (previously 6 minutes before that "reset" or whatever that was).

I have had a couple games go to OT (another 5 minute period...I hate that), I have not had the late-game issue in those situations. The CPU always shot like they should. I don't want to say UT simply doesn't have that issue, but I haven't experienced it in the mode.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not limited to that one scenario either as I posted above...sucks!

I haven't had many close games, so I can't speak about the late game AI specifically.

But I see the CPU dribble out the end of quarters and dribble through the end of the shot clock all the time in Ultimate Team.

I would say it happens at least two to three times per game where they just stand still dribbling until the clock expires.

gotta say the more and more I play LIVE the more I like it time, the game does really scream simulation, beyond the looks which aren't bad by any stretch, the game plays like basketball. And what ever they did with the last roster update the game plays better not seeing a lot of the herky jerky movement as I was before. I love the fact that you can truly play 12 minuets quarters and get real to life scores. Love all the ESPN cams to, in a nut shell LIVE is a good game.

After playing a number of games I will say that I like playing offense, but hate defense. I'm terrible at it. I can't stay with my man to save my life. The game needs a mechanic where you can press a button and get some help sticking with your defender. The cpu blows by me for an easy basket almost every time.

I am also noticing the very high number of paint attempts by the cpu. Not seeing a lot of mid-range jump shots. The cpu seems smart at times and dumb at times. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Almost adds a virtual human element.

I will post more detailed impression later, but the thing that's making me not want to play this game is defense. I'll keep working at it though.

I also just thought of one thing I really like. Like past Live games, the spacing is fantastic. No other game comes close.

im pretty much the same way with defense. but ive seen other people having success to to me it just means i have to learn the system better. i am definitely getting better but im still giving up the majority in the paint. i saw a thread in the 2k forums about trying to focus on improving a single aspect of the game every time you play (less fouls one game less turnovers the next etc.) so im going to start taking that approach and see if i can get better at defending the paint.

My problem was every time I defend in the paint the I had a habit of jumping all the time and not keeping my feet on the floor, now I do my defense is much better .
