if u want to have realistic stats playin 12 min, u gotta play good defense right?

I like these a lot for the most part...

EXCEPT....

The close shot setting is simply too low.

When 2 out of every 5 POINT BLANK shots under the basket don't even get over the rim....with no defense on the shooter...this is maddening.

There are just too many "gimme shots" that are missed.

That's my opinion. Everything else is great.

I see what you're saying, but it's kind of a necessary tradeoff to keep FG % and PiP in line.

The bigger problem is it's a little too easy to get inside. NBA 2K9 has a tough time modeling the physicality that NBA players use in the paint to keep people out. So the tradeoff is to set the close shot setting low to compensate for that.

I tried these last night and got killed using the Grizz at the Cavs, I lost 110-82.
Using these my team just doesnt play any D, they pick up the man way too late. There was about 10 times LeBron would dribble down and shoot before his man would pick him up. The only guy that was ever guarded was the guy I was gaurding. If I control the PG the guys on the wings would be laying off their guys 10-15 ft. I was losing 97-65 at the end of the 3rd when the Cavs pulled their starters.

i played vs cav today with my hornets' association, if you play a good defense you would win easy...

i won 107 to 95, james did 17 points only...

I'm gonna be posting my final sliders later tonight. Something I saw last night while messing with the on-ball D slider was a loose ball foul called on Dwight Howard.

It was great though because I had Drew Gooden and I was bodying him up trying to deny position in the paint. Howard took his left arm and tried to push off Gooden and the ref called a loose ball foul. I jumped up out of my chair I was so excited. It was probably a fluke, but maybe it wasn't.

I have had a handful of over the backs called. It's kind of sad that we get so excited over something so important (but overlooked by 2k) in a basketball game
