LOL!

Knowing EA they might have some tendencies still reversed/screwed up where Deng is being used in sets assigned for LBJ when he was in Miami.

This is a good example of where SLIDERS would be handy. It's not about "changing sliders for hours"...there just a couple tweaks Id like to make to help with some of the frustrations...

Could be why I've been having such a good time playing I've been on Superstar since I got my retail game.

Hopefully the rosters come, tendencies get squared away, get a couple more of these updates, and bam... good game.

Anybody see any injuries in their games ? Haven't seen any in tip offs games, maybe they only show up in dynasty ?

Definitely possible I guess but yeah, a bit weird seeing Deng come down to accept the ball with Wade and Cole sitting down the offensive end waiting.

So, it seems possible but needs fixing. Especially for LeBron and other players other than point guards who can initiate an offense.

gotta concur. I went to superstar difficulty and am not looking back. All Star actually created some bad habits: Playing too tight, and too much 1 on 1. Still playing vs the Cavs and saw a more balanced attack, with Lebron being more active, as opposed to the Kyrie and Love Show.

He only shot 4-10, but drew fouls and dished out some assists, as well as made things tough on me defensively.

I figure his shooting is tied to the synergy data, since he is only shooting at barely 40% right now...and this is what concerns me: I fear the game may be too reliant on synergy for functional gameplay. Synergy should be the cherry on top of the ratings and tendencies of the players...but it seems like it is vital to making the game even playable.

The game is super fun: It straddles that free style/realism fence pretty nicely, but things like Lebron playing more like Scottie Pippen irk me lol. Also, where are the modifers to do spin gathers, bounce passes, lead passes, runners, bank shots, and floaters? Are those out of our hands now and left to "context"? I finally realized that we can still do up and unders, but where's the rest of that stuff? more video content coming..these kind of things along with the generic nature of the move sets, are its biggest shortcoming.

I'm really enjoyng the overall gameplay since it was updated on Nov.1.
I think they tuned down PIP which is very good.
But, the only thing that bothers me is point guard's fatigue that is almost not reduced during full match without sub. Other players are okay, but anyone in the point guard position is tireless which is very unrealistic!
It is easilly noticeable, so it's very weired they haven't fixed yet.
Isn't it really frustrating you guys?
Is development team aware of this issue?

Yeah I just played a thrilling game at home as Memphis vs. the Jazz.

Burke tore me up the entire game, and I mean the entire game. I don't think ever sat. Gotta check the stats but man it sure felt like he was always in.

I find the Memphis shooting guard Allen worthless. The slasher. He has like a 35 three point rating and with magnetized zones of defense still under the CPUs control his penetration skills were nullified. At least with me on the sticks they were.

I went up 8 early and thought I was going to coast. Jazz poured it on me from 3 point range but it was always fair with good ball movement and me just not knowing who can shoot on the Jazz. To be honest, I only started this matchup to test if halftime worked and it did for this tip off game.

The game rolled on and they got out to a 12 point lead. I cut it to 7 with the 3rd ending and on my last possession I was on the break and carter spotted himself up for me so I passed it, except with the ball in the air he moved inside the arc and got closer to the defender. I had time to dish it back over to my pg who missed the runner as time expired. Why did carter do that?

I get the ball first in the 4th. Stuff happens and I end up down 10 after turning it over and Burke hit a trey with me in his face. Hey he was on fire, it happens.

So I say what difference does it make now, throw all shooters on the floor and start dropping bombs.

Vince Carter becomes superman again and hits 4 daggers to get the game to 1 point.

I play stout D with :34 left and get the ball back with :10 to go. Time out. Down 1.

I run whatever inbound play was on RB. It was a simple pg steps out to the 3 line and gets the pass and swings it left. We didn't need 3 but this was the play that was run.

I swung it over and poindexter hoisted it up. I put the controller down with the ball in the air and raised both arms up.

Down. Up 2 :3.1 to go.

Jazz inbound and miss the long 3. Victory.

How? It's always been/felt contextual for me, and not even at the proper context.
