No, you just probably would end up having some better games.

Thanks for the response. I'll definitely play some games online. I think I'm just ruined from NBA2k online. It'll be great when we can join up and play some games with friends.

Can't believe they have Robert Parish as a Chicago Bull in this game. Not only did he win 3 of his 4 championships in Boston, but he went into the HOF as a Celtic.

Loving this game! I've been playing against the AI in tourneys and I have noticed a couple issues that we should bring to the developers attention..

I do not have twitter so if someone could please post this to the devs that would be great!

1. When you get the lottery pick "12", which shortens the shot clock for the CPU, the AI is not taking that into consideration and 9 times out of 10 the shot clock expires. The developers should probably look into that

2. Defending against the 3 is near impossible for 2 reasons..
- First, the game does not seem to take into account good defensive position and it is all about the shot release.. There probably should be some sort of penalty for shooting with someone right in your face. (Even if minimal since its an arcade game)

- Second, blocking 3's is nearly impossible. Even with a great shot blocker like Shaq and jumping right in their face on release..

- To build on that, the game does a solid job of allowing us to time blocks against with a good blocker against dunks.. BUT .. for whatever reason it is near impossible to block 3's (or nearly any jumper for that matter).. and also, when a player is stuck under the rim and put up a little weak layup it is nearly an automatic bucket because the shot blocker just cannot block it (90% of the time)

I think the devs need to look into these issues to help with balance of gameplay. It would go a long way in making defense more rewarding and placing importance of having a big man on the court.

My .02 cents

I bought it and im running with Tim Hardaway and the Admiral as my 2 players. Learning the release points im struggling alot lol and lost every game vs the cpu so far. I even had a 12 point lead and still lost.

It's a very early release for layups and a pretty early release for jump shots

Has anyone played EPIC Durant and EPIC Harden in the finals of the Shanghai tourney?

I have gotten blown out 20-25 times in a row. They are like a CPU cheat code together. They literally hit 95% of their 3's, get an extra point on most of their shots, and steal everything on the fist swipe..

It almost seems impossible to beat them lol

I'm at game 1 in Vegas.

I've won each tournament and completed every challenge so far.

Game 1 in Vegas wants 15 steals. Cripes. LOL
