Do you guys think the curl and double screen plays are cheating?

[butie120]

I'm playing on Pro with defensive awareness at 100, help defense at 100, and on ball defense at 25 (for the CPU). Anyway, I'm doing a season with the clippers and they have a few double screen plays for Eric Gordon. I swear, I can call this play at will and he is open out on the wing almost every single time. I thought the developers said the CPU would adjust to play calling, but he can get open quite easily. It also makes me think of the Ray Allen curl plays. Those are deadly.

So, what you guys think? Am I "cheesing", or am I using my strengths? Let me know. thanks!

not cheating if you dont make the shot correct? playing on pro also is a reason why the cpu isnt stopping that play regardless of your slider adjustments. on HOF they would close that down after a few tries

I played on All-Star before my C's 'chise died. Had both Danny Granger and Ray Allen and would run both on curls - around the second quarter, computer would start picking off passes on that play because I ran it a lot.

They adjust it could just be you're playing on pro?

Ok, well, I just took your guy's advice and I must say i'm terribly confused, lol. They still aren't doing anything on this play.

I played as the Clippers once again, turned it to hall of fame, and even did the simulation sliders. I ran the same play for Eric Gordon (12 Cross) every play for 2 1/2 quarters. He sets up on the block, runs his defender a little towards the wing, and then comes back towards the baseline off a double screen on the other wing. He had 51 points, 20-45 shooting, and 11-19 on threes. I honestly don't know what to think, because I hate the thought of knowing I can just use this for an easy bucket.

Could someone just try this out as well, because I hear "the CPU adjusts" or "they start picking off passes". They are not, lol.

Anyone have any thoughts? I was so excited when "Da Czar" videos came out saying the CPU will adjust, however I haven't really experienced them adjusting to plays. Thanks in advance!

BTW, I even put defensive awareness and help D at 100. THanks

Actually help D at 100 is worse it means you need more help D. I read a couple threads about this and I decided to give it a try. Help D at 0 actually means you don't have to give a lot of help. Try it for the CPU and user and watch what happens. Your CPU teammates do a better job of rotation for help

I'm not sure if I understand you, or better yet, if you understand what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm trying to have the CPU do a better job of defending the play that I'm calling. I understand that putting 0 for help defense means you don't need a lot of help, so why would I put it at 0? I put it at 100 for the CPU so they "request" a lot of help D. I'm not the one playing defense. I'm on offense picking apart the CPU with one play: 12 Cross with Baron Davis at the point and Eric Gordon as the shooting guard.
