My SF is 92 overall, will be capped before the playoffs coming up. I can still call for the ball and put it in the hole without question. What's harder about it is the fact that I feel bad, basically icing out my team-mates who without hesitation pass me the ball for me to put away.
Not being able to run the offense means that I'm the ONLY one scoring instead of the one the offense is running through. It would be like the magic not using Howard to in and out the ball.
Earlier, I was just shooting funny (trying to drive too hard I suppose). I've noticed my jump shot is far more likely to go in (post patch, shooting over 90% with mid range compared to ~55%) and actually hit my new game high of 78 points through jumpers (at 91%fg in 5min quarters). That's just unfair to my "AI team-mates" and not how I want to run anything.
NO restriction can stop players from becoming ridiculous within the first season just based on the ways that SP is distributed in this game (on my PG I got 16k in one rivalry game by turning the quarters up to 8 minutes and hitting quite a few milestones) and that was a 4 point over-all jump. From a single game. There's 82(!) games in the regular season. You have to understand that it's silly at best to restrict people who are able to score at will from having fun with it instead of just forcing them to have a "i'll just do it myself then" attitude.
And before anyone says they break the play and do whatever they need to, I'm not having that experience at all. As a matter of fact, when I catch the ball and break the play the only person who goes into motion is the PF who stands by the rack to grab a rebound; the rest just sit in place and the PG gets that little "A" over his head (wanting me to pass it back). Sucks.
I mean, prior to this patch, I could draw a double team after starting motion that would lead to a FG, or at least an attempted one, and I felt good about involving everyone. Now, if I want to score well, or stand out as a player in my player (and trust me, that's the only reason I'm playing my player) I'm forced to ice out my team-mates. That's just dumb, flat out.
Well you have a 92 rating so you will probably get more touches than your teammates. I have a 70+ rating and they don't pass it to me as much.
Well are you the "floor general"? Did your team give you that responsibility? Maybe you can call plays if your the floor general? In my case, everyone gets a good number of shot attempts and for a 70+ guy I am satisfied with my touches.
I think the automatic play calling in my player mode is a good idea that's flawed in it's execution. In reality you would get benched for not following the plays, but what about the point guards who stood there and couldn't improvise? They would be on the bench beside you. I really wish the game graded everybody on the court. -anyway- I use the player lock camera. Most of the time I can't even see where the spot on the floor is without running around.
verdict= MAKE IT OPTIONAL.._ (at least until it can be implemented correctly)
Well....shooting was hard online before the patch & now it's just as hard/harder after the patch. I can tell by the freethrow timing. Before it was a bit early now its way late (This is comparing one player, say Jose Calderon's release pointon FT's). I kinda liked shooting pre-patch better.
What the .... is going on?????? 9 straight online games all end in first quarter ends with a network connection error.. I know I'm not the only 1.....Ive reset my modem, cleared cache........arggghhhh
I think the cheesers are just disconnecting because they can't cheese and are looking for new cheese tactics. You are being experimented on LOL.
Im really not liking the CPU shot attempts. i play on allstar SIM, and played Cavs@Bulls(cpu) and Deng was forcing too many shots. Then Korver subbed him and also took too many shots. I guess the Bulls offensive strategy calls many plays for the SG spot now.
I really hope this is fixed with the next roster update.
I played as PHX against CHI for about 2 quarters and noticed the same thing. They'd run plays for Deng almost every time down. And b/c PHX is set at a low pressure they sag off. Every time he'd get the ball he'd jack up wherever he caught the ball.
Maybe it's cuz Boozer is hurt and they have no other go-to guy besides Deng and Rose?
I also played a game between SA and MIN. Played pretty much perfectly except low shooting percentages for both teams

i find it easier to shoot jumpshots whether the midrange or three after patch =/
I am guessing the main reason people are missing so many jumpers is that the shot timing was changed to be later? My myplayer SG already had a slow release and now its even slower.
One thing I really wish they had done is allow for different lengths of season for myplayer. 82 games is just WAY too much to get to experience most of the mode. At the rates points come in you basically play a whole career in one year.

My buddy who is an avid My Player mode player told me today he was having a hard time hitting jumpshots after the patch. At first I thought he was joking because I was playing my Association earlier and it seems it's easier to hit jumpshots after the patch including 3pt shots. I guess he's not alone.

It's not my touches, and it's not me calling plays that I want. It's forcing people into motion so I don't have to waste time calling plays and can pay more attention to who is open on the fly rather than who "might" be open in 5seconds.
Also, you might of noticed, that you can no longer set picks on the fly which makes getting good grades a lot harder. My poor center can't get an A+ in 5 min quarters to save his life (sucks that he's been getting an A every time, and it wants an A+ because he avgs A+).

Yup I noticed the picks not being used unless if its for a play. Well that's a valid point but I just will not agree with you that it became harder since in my experience it was really easier to win this time.
I guess that's their way of balancing this "exploit" (milking the picks to have an A+ grade). I don't think that's the best way to balance it but it sure does work. They should use picks if the play is broken, I agree with that.
Since the patch the game freezes after saving then exiting season to go back to the main menu.
this was happening to me pre-patch and Ronnie said it was supposedly going to be fixed fixed in the patch when I tweeted him about it and from what I can tell, it was NOT fixed. I tweeted him again after seeing that it didn't get fixed, so hopefully he'll have some feedback but Im really pissed about this not being fixed. I could care less about the Cavs real courts vs. having a game freeze every time.
