	CPU AI: I swear every time I read one of these previews for a new NBA 2K game, the author is talking about how the CPU is so realistic and how each team plays like it does in real life. For the first time, I honestly feel like this year that statement is completely true. There are several examples I noticed: Rockets v. Lakers - The AI consistently looks for Howard in the post, Lin in the pick and roll and Harden on Isos and pick and rolls. Shooters like Parsons hang out on the perimeter waiting for kick outs by Harden and Lin off picks. Houston also shoots a ton of threes like in real life. Cavs v. Wizards � Irving absolutely destroyed me with the pick and roll(40 points and a game winning layup) but he didn�t ball hog. CPU ran several post plays for Bennett and Bynum. Waiters also got a few touches but he struggled in the game. Grizzlies v. Thunder � CPU looks for Randolph and Gasol consistently in the post. Randolph plays like he does in real life. For example, he went to work in the post on two straight possessions. One ended with a baby hook in the lane. The second was him pivoting to face up Ibaka and sinking a 17ft jumper in his face.

Setting a pick still resets the play.

I dont get that. I'm having no problem with that. Using the "intense D button" plus being intelligent about how you guard someone is key.

You have ti use 2k's roster and you cant edit players. Cant answer if there are new commish controls because I've never played online associations.

And can they still force the user to post up when you're both standing near the paint? Are All Star Game rotations cleaned up? Meaning, can you start and play more than 10 minutes in the game? And does it feel more like the All Star Game? Is it more uptempo with more 3's, more lobs, isos and less defense with no set plays? Do the commentators still refer to you by your nickname instead of your last name?

Not much pressure on the perimeter by the CPU in My Player. Most contact occurs when cutting into the lane.

Didnt play a ASG.

Yes if they dont have your last name in the voice database.

can you remove a sig skill totally, or can you still only replace it?

# 206 Rensational14 @ 09/28/13 10:24 AM

Do commentators on MyPlayer still call your player by its nickname instead of his real one?

# 207 aholbert32 @ 09/28/13 10:26 AM

Alright folks. I have to shut this down. I have to write the review for OS so I cant answer anymore questions. Sorry to the folks whose questions I couldnt get to.
