We all know this game is so cheesy and frustrating this time, and by now, I bet we have all experienced a 30-2 run or a 20 point loss to the Timberwolves. I have one word for this. Momentum. It actually plays a role this year. I advise anyone to call a timeout after the computer scores 6 points consecutively. It slows up the game and cools down the AI on offense. This goes vice versa as well. If you end up scoring 6 points straight, keep attacking! More of your shots fall when the momentum is in your direction. Sure you'll still have the cheese of the over reactive collision system, or when the defense even TOUCHES the ball it'll go flying into the cheap seats. But, the game will go in your direction. Fouls will get called your way, threes will splash and blocks will come to you a lot easier. I've moved up 2 difficulty settings since I got the hang of the tempo of teams and the game. Give me some feedback!

Funny you say that cause i just lost by 22 to the wolves, first game of 2k12 in association.

Momentum is surely a factor as well as monitoring when a player hits more than 2 shots consecutively. If you are getting your butt handed to you by the cpu and you finally score, notice how the cpu calls a TO immediately. I believe it is to break any chances of you getting momentum in your favor. My rule is, if the cpu scores 2 to 3 times without me scoring, I need a TO. Problem arrises when you get caught up in the action when you have a big lead and look up and realize the cpu has scored 8 points in a row and has cut your lead to nothing. By then, the cpu has so much momentum, that it's like a runaway frieght train and it's hard to stop.

I'm just surprised that it plays such a great factor, last year, I'm pretty sure it didn't even exist.

how does this apply to my player. every game ends up the same way we go down early fight back i get subbed out then come back in and we are getting blown out. this happens EVERY GAME no matter who the team is

momentum should be determined by how a player plays not a coded mechanic thats random activated

It is determined that way..

Example..

Second game of the season, Celtics vs Atlanta, Joe Johnson hit a couple of shots, we had momentum our way, went on a 12-2 run. Celtics make a couple of shots, they have some momentum, went on a 6-0 run.

And that's REAL basketball. It's a game of runs. I think it's a great feature. And yes, it does apply to my player mode! You have to get your whole team involved not just your player because once you get subbed out, the rest of your team is iced offensively
