You will really have to defend. But the response of the controls should allow you to do so if you know how to play legit defense.

Bet now that sounds promising

Who is this guy? Is he known in the video game community? I only trust OS vets opinions not some guy I never heard of. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

I saw an off ball swat in that short OKC video, so I think passing lane defense has been fixed...

It's puzzling to me too, but hopefully there's just a learning curve...adding a bunch of new animations for contact makes no difference if contact in the paint can't be initiated consistently...which was one of my main gripes last year...

I agree with this. In most EA Sports games, they make you play defense anyways, while the CPU does less work, on ball user defense ain't enough in ANY EA Sports title

Also, when he was talking about getting calls for reach in fouls, he's probably one of those guys who press full court spamming the steal button lol

They need to show the game. The easy offense and defense is a problem with EA. So the guy is more than likely right. Every user plays the game different, but still in 14 it doesn't matter. This is probably a legacy issue EA has yet to fix. Still getting the game though, just not spending $60 on it.

Found this on Twitter.. It's not much, but it's something.
