Woah, what???? Man, I'm really trying to overlook a lot of this game's shortcomings - I'm already so disappointed that there are no gameplay sliders and player/roster editing for the second straight year - and now this?

So if I have my subs set to manual, the CPU will never sub in/out their players? Their starting 5 will play the entire 48 mins?? If so, I would think they that they can patch it in. They have to patch it in. I mean, it's working correctly in other game modes outside of Dynasty, right?

Unless I'm missing something, yes. It happened in Dynasty mode...the quick games are fine. But in my first Dynasty game, the CPU didn't make a single sub and I play 12 minute quarters.

If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know!

The "right way" to fix the double team issue is to have the adjacent defender cheat over towards the offensive player left alone. A related issue though is that open 3's are made 95% of the time. That's much too high.

The game has a lot of that fifa defensive feel which I dislike. Which is if you want something done you better do it yourself.

Leaving you with 9 idiots and you shuffle from your 1 player through the rest, herding them towards whatever you want done.

NBA live plays smarter D than fifa but not by a whole lot.

There seems to be zero defensive swap logic after you take a half court initial D form.

If you control the sg and pick up the PG before half court your d will swap.

But if you swap on the fly out of a double team the other player has no clue and just comes over where you are which is 90% of the reason why the CPU gets open looks on me. Swapping on cpu screens is a killer too. It's not even bad logic, it's absent logic, on the other end, the CPU D swaps pretty competently. So it can be coded.

I'm banking that you are doing something wrong. No way this is the case I'm hoping.

I'm going to check again after this Bulls/Cavs game. Hopefully you're right.

They definitely tweaked game play with this update. This what I am noticing now:

1. More turn overs by the CPU. Bad passes, easier to steal from ball handlers.

2. Fast breaks has opened up a bit. Before I felt as though the CPU defenders caught up to you way too fast too often.

3. CPU misses more 3s. At halftime the Lakers are 2 for 7 from 3pt line.

4. CPU calls more time outs.

5. CPU runs have been severely toned down.

6. Tad bit more misses for lay ups and dunks in traffic. Before I rarely missed a dunk or lay up in traffic.

7. CPU does the spin move to the lane cheese quite a bit now. They really need to call charging on it because they literally run defenders over with their spin.

8. Bit more off ball movement. Still needs to be more though, but it is better then it was before.

9. Haven't seen a CPU big man attempt a hook shot in the post in the 1st half. They now do the spin move or pump fakes.
