I wanna start my Franchise too...but I swear picking one team to start with for me is like agony. I for the life of me don't know why I put this much effort into this...but i have literally spent the day "trying out" different teams. Do I go with my favorite team (St. Johns)...do I rebuild a team from a non power conference...do I run with the same squad I have been running with from my CH2K8 dynasty (Utah - don't ask) .... do I take one of the preselected schools that offer me a job when you start the dynsaty....do I go with my Alma Matter (Cornell)?


Ughhhhh - you see my dilemna?! This is important stuff!

Good question. I don't really look at the ai subs but they do not fall off at the end of a game in terms of scoring. I will monitor next game and give you results

I have not played a basketball video game in
a number of years. mostly, I am a baseball
and hockey guy. I stopped playing bball games
because of the lack of fouls and free throws in the
game and the slider not doing what they should. I
have to say, I am loving this game. Don't get
me wrong, there are some faults but I am having fun
with it and not feeling cheated. It was great to
see the CPU throw the ball away. For those who
look down at this game, find a copy of NBA on the
Sega G. and than think about how far BB gaming
has come. Better than that, play the BBall game
on the Atari 2600.

I have had success with fatigue slider at 60 or 65. CPU subs, I sub, my guys with with high stamina can play 35+ mins if I need or want, my bigger guys get 25-30.

I run a full court 1-2-1-1 for most of the game though, not sure how that affects it.

Man, this game is fun! I'm still pleasantly surprised.

Just played a great game (shootout) between Michigan (me) vs. Oklahoma at their place.

Michigan 96
Oklahoma 88

Willie Warren 33 pts, 4 ast, 3 stl, 13-21 FG, 5-10 3PT
Manny Harris 27 pts, 2 ast, 1 TO, 3-5 3PT

It was great to see OU go to Warren like crazy. He was killing me for several different stretches.

Fellas, loving all the info I'm finding on here...so after reading all these is the consensus to not download the "dynamic" updates or install the "patch" (sounds like they are one in the same)? It's sounding like you guys are saying that it disrupts the good gameplay, gamespeed, and team seperation. Thanks for any info on this.

Just dominated with Michigan State playing against Penn State...90-69. I decided to lower the midair collision slider down to 45 and found I was being sucked into a few less of those animations.

Anyways, Talor Battle dropped 20 on me but on 7-21 shooting with 8 turnovers so it was nice to see that Penn State recognized that he's their best player. Kalin Lucas outplayed him with 23 points and 10 assists.

I'm definitely enjoying the game!

John Wall just destroyed me in Rupp while playing with the Cardinals.

Wall 41 pts 14-21 FG, 9-11 FT, 4-6 3PT.

Dude was ballin'! I lost 82-71. I was able to cut the lead to 3 pts with about 2 minutes, but didn't have enough in the tank.

Oh, and for whatever reason, I am seeing more fastbreaks now. Not a lot, but they've come back a bit after raising the game speed slider from 42 back up to 47-49.

CPU Hands in the Post will help the CPU players to catch or hold onto the ball inside the paint.

If you want the Human player to reduce being stripped then it should go up for the Human player not the CPU.

Lovin the game. Despite a few bugs here and there, it plays a solid game of basketball. The motion offense is great, I love using it. The game definitely rewards you more if you run plays/motion offense as opposed to just running up the court and shooting. It feels like college hoops. Presentation is beyond awesome.
The tempo thing from last year is back and it once again is successful.
Can't wait to dive into Dynasty mode...but it's so hard to pick who I want to go with lol.
Varsity seems to be the way to go, with some slider tweaks in fatigue, fouls and a few other areas.
Solid game. I recommend it.

You guys are making me jealous, I've managed to play a few games but I've been so set on working on updating the rosters (SEC and ACC finished with accurate names and hometowns) and coaches (just finished all of them and updated their look to be more accurate).

I have to say one of the biggest blunders in the default EA rosters that I've seen thus far is Kenny Boynton, he's only a 61 overall! Dude should be up near 80 overall. I've seen a few other bloated (Perry Stevenson of UK, should be in the low-mid 70's) and underrated (again, can't get over Kenny Boynton).

But I have to say, I have absolutely love this game thus far and I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm a huge 2K homer but this game does it for me.

I couldn't pick either. I eventually just set the option to where I could only pick from the teams that offered me a job, and then I chose randomly until I picked one of the teams with "high" difficulty. I ended up with Harvard. I'm 5-6 and I'm loving it.

# 857 sirjam @ 11/22/09 03:10 AM

# 858 HustlinOwl @ 11/22/09 03:16 AM

I sure would love for someone from EA to explain why they do that crap.
No in-game injuries? That's pretty weak.

I had no idea we could jump into a game midway through in Dynasty. I love that feature! It saves me some time if I don't feel like playing every minute of each 20 minute half against some of the lower tier opponents on the schedule. I've only been playing Play Now games thusfar. I cannot decide on a team to take through a Dynasty yet.

Thanks for sharing.

I bought the game yesterday and overall I've had more fun with it than I anticipated given the mixed impressions on here. I will say that there's a bit of a "cheese" factor to the double clutch scoop layups and jump shots that each player seems to exhibit close the goal. Although I was expecting a bit more as far as dynasty mode goes and player models, the game is still fun and I've noticed a quite a bit of variety in scores and playing styles in the 4 games I've played so far, with scores and game outcomes all being different in each game, pending on the level of teams I've used and opponents I've played.
