I have given them a ton of feedback already on the matchups. I've been able to remedy it by tapping down on the dpad to set my defense to man to man, but that doesn't help the AI. I haven't been able to get an answer yet as to whether or not that's in patch 1, but it's one of the first things I'll be checking for.

You can, but the timing is a little earlier than you'd think. I was able to shoot passing lanes in tip off games and in Pro-Am. I had a sweet one on JYoung where I baited him into a pass and picked it off clean. I haven't noticed a real penalty for long passes either, which is concerning.

Glad to hear I wasn't crazy by actually finding quite a bit of enjoyment in the game this year.

BTW I was able to confirm that the demo does NOT contain the Day 1 Patch. Hoping to get a better sense of what's going to be in that patch soon.

Can't believe we're still 2 weeks away. Kinda crazy.

I'm having a lot of issues with stringing cross overs together and taking good angles. It seems like it always makes me go left to right or forward and back. Makes it hard to get by people sometimes.

Mine got stuck at 18% installation...am I going to have to redownload it?

Try the Learn Live dribbling tutorials. I still haven't quite mastered it yet but I see some nice blow-bys when guys reach.

[WTF]

Forcefield I know is fixed in Day 1 patch, and I just completed a game and had 3 turnovers out of bounds, one which came off of a timely trap by Kevin Love and Lebron (trapping Durant in the corner, made me shuffle my feet onto the line). It was crazy satisfying, considering WHERE on the court they trapped, and how they cut off my lanes.

The Late Game AI, I'm not sure if that's in the Day 1 Patch or not, when I was playing down there, I had awesome results, going into triple OT, etc, and the CPU fouling when they needed to, getting quick shots, etc.

So don't give up hope that it's not in. Maybe it was Price, maybe it was someone else who mentioned the late game AI being an issue back in June (didn't get to go) but after speaking to 3 different devs on the issue down there, they believed they had every issue sorted out with it, and the build they pushed to us showed it.

The swatting the ball in the passing lane, you may need some timing work 24th

I'll be honest though, I think it could be tuned better still yet, but I'm able to deflect my fair share of balls each game, as is the CPU. Lebron picked one and went coast to coast against me a few minutes ago.

How do I get to the pro am from the demo all I see is "play the full 2016 finals game"

[WTF]

It has to finish downloading the rest of the file. It's 24GB total I believe. You can only play the finals game until it's complete.
