It's these types of misguided statements that lead to things being changed for the worse..

What makes an elite ball handler, "elite"? Generally: it's their ability to perform multiple dribble moves with great difficulty. If they're not doing any dribble moves, what exactly makes them elite? You should be able to get by any big man in the league (forget about their lateral quickness) with any player with a high ball handling rating? Just because?

C'mon.

More than likely roster and shoes update.

Can't believe they didn't address the game speed issue on the park. It's so slow and after the patch it's got even worse.

MyCareer doesn't feel the same anymore as the game feels much slower and my game speed slider isn't making the speed faster, my SG feels very sluggish on MyCareer and MyPark.

And is the mid range game broken now that it was so OP before patch?

Fair enough, maybe I should have clarified. When I think of an elite ball handler, I think of a player who can maintain handling the ball at a high speed, as well as beat even tough defenders with an array of misdirection type dribble moves.

There are only a handful of big men in the league who can remotely stay with one of these kinds of players. Did you see the Chicago/OKC game last week? The Thunder were routinely switching on PnRs, leaving Kanter guarding Rose on the perimeter quite often. Rose was blowing by the guy EVERY time, as if Kanter were a statue out there, and he wasn't using crossovers or behind the back dribbles. He was just exploding past him, because he's a much faster player, even with the ball. A guy like Ricky Rubio isn't exceptionally fast, but you aren't going to see Tim Duncan or Al Jefferson keeping him out of the lane if they're matched up on him at the top of the key, at least not without help.

Basketball is a game of mismatches, so if I'm able to run a play that gets my PG iso'd with a big man, then the defender should be forced to give me space to keep me from blowing right by, literally every time. Again, this doesn't work in a video game unless the defense rotates properly, so having yet to try the patch, I couldn't testify one way or another about that.

One of the things I've loved about this year's game is that when your big man catches a 'mouse in the house', you can easily back them down and score on them if there's no double coming, just like real life. I'd just like to see that ideology expanded so that the smaller guys get the same advantage when the shoe's on the other foot.

I actually agree with you DBMcGee3. You don't NEED to do a double move to get past someone. A simple in & out can get your defender leaning. It all just depends on situation and the ballhandlers effectiveness when using the move. For example, a pick set up for you to go left but you crossover to the right. That would not be a double move. And to piggyback off of what you mentioned...mismatches are key.

yo,
Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that another ACE update went out last night. This address the double team issues that you were seeing against your MC players. enjoy!

thank you, thank you, thank you, Guess I can dust off my PG and start playing again.
