I know it's not exactly what you were talking about 24th, but here's Asik missing back to back shots in the post, and then one of Holliday missing a layup after the hop step (no contact animation) leading to a fast break on the other end.
I think what DonWuan eluded to earlier is that by pushing the left stick towards the defender, and into their body, even though it may not register a contact animation, i think it does associate it with defensive pressure. I've been doing it all along, and even on the offensive end, which is why I think I'm able to draw more fouls and get more free throws. Give that a try to see if it helps.
Also, both clips are on All-Star setting. I've not left it since you recommended it.

Not QUITE what I mean WTF, but thanks for the tip...Ill try the "towards the defender" tactic tonight!and yes, that oop was very nice..
I've noticed you "feel" less joystick "pressure" when playing D to get the same results you get in the other game because there is less lock on suction. Defense is supposed to be hard. Not every team plays good D. When I apply 2K type defensive contact I either get a continuation foul because of bad positioning, or knock a guy to the floor and get a foul. There is a sweet spot with "pressure" that will allow defense that causes many missed shots by the CPU, without fouling. I also keep my hands up at every opportunity, (as coach taught us back in the day) forcing CPU misses down low. I Just held the Bulls to 38% shooting for the game (last night), gave up 4 dunks and NO SECOND CHANCE points(8 min quarters), which really shocked me, and convinced me to start playing on Superstar. They tried to body me up and bully me all game, but I didn't relent, Boozer was 2/12 and Noah was 4/8 inside, Rose was 5/18 with 6 TO. It was an ugly game we only shot 42% but we won.
I think part of the problem people are having is trying to play this in the same way you play the other game or past Live games, which we can't. ( I got better fast when I stopped playing 2k style ball) Ball position, momentum, and angles are much more important in this game than previous releases.
There are some issues, but they (EA) have a great foundation for continued progress in the series as long as they communicate with their player base, and don't fall into "graphics/animation wars" with the other game and sacrifice gameplay/features/online.

Ive played ball for a long time man , high and low levels...I understand that defense isnt easy...this isnt a case of me not understand how defense works....honestly its probably the opposite...Im expecting the body of my player to be respectedin certain situations and thats not happening. I know this game isnt 2k and I am definitely not playing it like 2k. I dont see how that would stop some of the stuff ive documented anyway.
You should post a video though, everybody should, we all have next gen machines. I would like to see how you guys are shutting down people inside on a regualr basis. Im all for solution.

On the Asik clip above, do you ever see that 24th? Or is it a given that it's going in?
When you get home, try the stick towards the defender, and literally hold it til the guy shoots. That's what I do and have success. Apparently DonWuan and a few others do as well.
In the game above, Asik went 5/12, of course all in the paint. Howard on the other hand was a different story.

DAMN!!! Did you call the police? Howard molested you down there. LOL
One thing I like at least Chandler is an effective defender in this game. I've played "games" where Chandler , Knicks, was a total liability. I wonder if EA could have Chandler do what he specializes in doing in real life and instead of getting board per se , he tips out rebounds to teammates. I honestly haven't seen any of that in any game
EDIT: But in all honesty I haven't had Chandler out on the court in this game that much to begin with. I usually just run with whatever the roster is when I start a game and in most games Chandler's out.
Lol. Yep. Thankfully Harden played spot on, and shot them out of the game.

Live need's some more animations, I'm seeing a lot of same types of lay-ups & dunks. And there should definitely be some posterization animations like they had in Live 06-08 on the PS2.

Boy some of that was ugly. Lol

The updates on roster now says 11,107 instead of 11,020. It's been toggled with.
I know good and well that the game speed has been increased. The game is playing almost too quickly for my liking right now. I'm playing Heat vs Wizards (me), and Lebron and Wade are dominating. I've shot 3 free throws and they've shot 4 FT's in the first 4 minutes of play.
Also, D-Wade and the Heat ran a nice play, having Bosh set a screen for Wade, he drove middle, hop stepped, and instead of dunking (wide open) he rose up for the nice finger roll. Some things are being tweaked, I know.
Rosters haven't updated, so I guess those are just tendency files that's update?

That was ignorant. I've seen a guard pump fake once, MAYBE twice, but some of that was hysterical. And that first layup, good gosh what was that?

No doubt WTF something's up because it feels like the speed has increased and game flow is faster which I feel opposite of you because I like the tempo now

Holy hell is the game playing faster. Going to take some getting used to. I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it just yet.
Look at Miami's shot chart. Jumpers galore in the first quarter. The points in the paint are still showing high, but due to the speed, and trying to adjust to it, I gave up more drives than I should have.
LBJ went nuts.
Also, guys were HUSTLING to get to their spots, and making quick screens and cuts off of them. I DID like that quite a bit.
Give LBJ a bit of space, and dude was launching though.
