No need to post a video because I know exactly what you mean lol

Why that foolishness wasn't fixed from live 14 is puzzling smh

man that's tough....

This is why I've stayed patient and held out so far....

I'm hoping they can do soemthing to make teams and players have real tendencies.

The game seems really similiar to NCAA 10 where all teams did basically the same thing offensively and there was no real player seperation.

I'm just not a fan of Synergy handling most of the action on the floor.

I want a B-Ball game so bad this year but I really haven't been blown away yet from what i've seen.

I played a very defense oriented game against the Lakers last night, very good game! After the game I had to log into the E A servers. There was a quick update and synergy update afterwards. I tried playing another game and although it appeared much smoother, I was no longer able to contain anyone on defense and vise versa for the cpu! This after all the work I put into customizing coaching settings! Extremely frustrating to say the least. I even set the in and off ball pressure to max and it was as if these settings had no effect! Whatis going on? I like that the game is being constantly tweaked but these improvements should not come at the expense of an already weak part of the game, defense! They also don't provide any information regarding what these improvements are so we're stuck guessing. They MUST fix the defense soon as this makes the game a pure arcade run and gun! WTF , please forward this to E A. The free flowing smoother improvement negatively impacts defensive aspects of game. We want a more balanced game and they should constantly strive to achieve this and this is not cutting it as it stands! I was in the process of starting a season but may have to put that on hold now. I thought I had figured out the right coaching defensive settings and that's out the window!

Calvenn, not every single game is going to play the same way. Why don't you try playing 10 games on those settings instead of 1 and see how they feel?

I should have been more specific with outlining my method of testing and analysis. As an engineer, we always exercise the best practice of applying changes in a very methodical and controlled manner. We also don't intoduce more than one adjustment at a time to allow us to be cognizant of what changes are truly effective.I only apply defensive coaching adjustments to 2 teams or testbeds and work with only those teams for observation in order to limit variability. After playing several games with those 2 teams and feeling confident about my adjustments, I then applied these adjustments to a third team. It was while playing a game with the third team that I noticed this change. This was after an update was applied. I have played several games since with my test teams and the results have been the same. The defense has become more porous!

Hang in there. I think these issues are more than patchable. Hopefully the next patch that releases will fix most of the issues. (Late game a.i, and a few others at least)

Don't forget...dem walls.

Zrohman, let's all hope so. Certainly looking forward to that next patch now more than ever! I will continue to play the game but will limit my play to only "tip off" games until the patch is released or they make further "background" tweaks to address this and other issues.
