If you play this game to run, dunk and shoot 3's you can do that. Heck you can do that with any game. But you can play sim this way and not feel like the CPU is spamming the spin, hop step baseline move.

If they up fouls and have the CPU call timeouts this will be a great game.

I'm kind of surprised the rosters aren't updated more consistently. Kobe hasn't played since December 17th and they still have him starting. So many lineups and rosters are out of date.

Im all for playing sim, but I would like some resistance from the CPU for the sake of competition...I already have to hold myself back from using the spin move and hop step because they are both essentially easy buckets...but I never want to feel like I am scripting how the game will go...thats just me though..,

Re Michael Beastley.

The game is lacking finesse inside. Too much power game in the paint and I don't really feel the NBA is like that in traffic.

@wtf I absolutely cannot play post defense. Okafor was 17 of 26 . Had like 33 points just now . What can I do? He does that spin and get an easy dunk constantly. Any tips ?

# 1068 WTF @ 01/04/14 01:32 PM

Are you using defensive settings in the menu? Set the post defense to Front Okafor, force him "Middle", double on catch, etc.

A lot of times, early on, it's easiest to do those things, and then play off ball defense, and let the CPU defend the post players. You can kind of see how they're defending, and then you can try your hand at it once you get used to it.

Another suggestion, although I'm not sure how well your offensive game is, is try All-Star. I've played 2 games like that, and both were really good games, and the Paint Cheese was negated by better defense from your teammates on the help rotation.

Give those a try. If you're playing off ball, make sure that whatever teammate comes to double, that you slide over and protect on defense on the kickout for 3!

Guys change your defensive settings to tight for off ball and on ball pressure and see what happens. I think Tomba was on to something with these two settings.

I have never had this problem most of you are having. The feature is always there for me.

I have had it disappear 3 times now. Just at random seemingly.

You should post a video/screenshot...maybe there's a setting thats causing ours to act up...

Great input. And I need to check those settings more

I just tried a little over a half a game on All-Star settings and I definitely noticed an increase on my AI's defense. There is definitely less spin move dunks and this was without changing the defensive schemes. I played against the Dallas Mavericks and they were kicking the ball out for threes and took more jump shots then I am I've seen in my games on pro during my dynasty. Now granted this is only a one game sample but it was very positive!

# 1076 The 24th Letter @ 01/04/14 05:56 PM

As I stated before your teammate AI does seem to pick up on All Star level...but the PIP abuse by the CPU seems to increase quite a bit..it's getting pretty frustrating...I had Bonners hand go straight through a ball when defending...

CMH, I don't know I about finesse so much as just more contact down low (not sure if that's what you meant) it's rare that the defense seems to "win" a an interaction once an animation starts up...a lot of sliding back..

# 1077 The 24th Letter @ 01/04/14 06:02 PM

Wanted to give an example of the little hitch when catching a ball down low for the devs watching...

Here Parker penetrates, dumps to Duncan...if Duncan goes right up it's likely 2 points....there is a little half a second hitch there that allows Griffin to contest...(Duncan misses, video cut off)

Yeah I agree. I think if there was less offensive power, we can get more contact and as a result guys will go up for layups off that contact.

Right now it's too easy to dunk in traffic and ignore the defense.

I set my substitution to manual. Now the computer isn't subbing
