Last year you couldn't make a j while being contested and now this year you can have 2 defenders on tge face of a shooter n it's going in no matter what smh.

I've always questioned if the defense adjustments work because I'm constant pressuring shooters but for some reason guys are always open for a 3

Has anyone ever blocked a Steph Curry layup? Smh

Gsme feels soo much better since last roster update but we gotta get better player movement and more realistic jump shots.

I still play the demo, I can't decide whether I want to buy it. Mainly because CPU is way too OP on the offensive boards. Has this been toned down with patches?

I think offensive rebounding actually got boosted but at the same time I don't find it OP at all. 25% of all rebounds are offensive. I think people have unrealistic expectations in this area and hate seeing any offensive rebounds. When I play the numbers are realistic.

I thought the recent big patch stated offensive rebounds were toned down? Maybe I am confusing it with blocks going back to the offensive team that was fixed.

But it's not the number of offensive boards that was the problem, it is how the players get them.

It seems to be one part of the game were physics, timing, player positioning have little impact on the outcome. If the game decides there is going to be an offensive rebound, it makes it happen. Even if that means a point guard catches it in a sea of giants.

And then to make it feel even worse, the little guys flip it back up and in instantly, again over those said giants.

It does seem to have improved but it's not perfect.

Man, bumping animations shouldn't cancel your pass inputs ....it really jacks up some drive and kick opportunities....the passing/ receiving is already a bit on the slower side

Also still seeing this...

Did you guys say this happens less on AS?

[Calvenn]

That is correct, you will see this occur less on All Star and Pro for certain. As a result of the boosted ratings on this level, cpu reflexes are alot quicker and a slight opening is almost viewed or perceived as a gaping hole from the cpu's perspective, if not shut down quickly or discouraged to begin with. You can attempt to counter with a different defensive strategy or off ball defense, to deter the drive. Simply put, is this something that should be addressed by the devs? Yes ( similar to cpu mid range shooting pre patches, which we could still generate with effort and a strategy on that side of the ball). Is there a workaround? Yes.

Another way to reduce these occurrences would be through slider manipulation. During my earlier testing phase, I successfully found combinations that elicited a pretty solid mid range game pre patch 4. I mean, I was regularly seeing 10 to 13 mid range shots per game 5 min qtrs with those adjustments in place. Of course, it was even more fruitful or effective depending on the team being played and the type of defensive strategy or approach being employed.

Patch does wonders. The game is looking a great and plays great too, at times, i think its will be my main frustration with the game, as i mentioned before, one game plays insanely good. and the next one is all over the place. I do enjoy the pace of the games, thats what keeps me coming back. With all that said the, i love this game as my alternative nba game. However, with the lack of support put into this game, and patches to fix what should have been day one stuff. I can say this will be my last experience with EA until Live makes it return to PC. great patch, excellent work trying to bring game back up to par, just a bit to little to late for me. Will still play it every now and then, but wont be getting more in series until PC release is made.
