Fatigue, Lock-On D and other random questions...

[Po Pimp]

Although I was fine with the fatigue the way it was pre-patch, it's not totally terrible now. I think everyone expects NBA players to be totally gassed at the end of a quarter, and that isn't the case. I just got finish playing a game in which Derrick Rose played the entire 1st quarter in which 2 timeouts were used, and his fatigue was at 3 bars. Pre-patch, it would have been 1 blinking bar, but you gotta remember that Rose has a high stamina level on this game. If someone like Shaq or Ilgauskas played an entire quarter, I guarantee their stamina would be 1 blinking bar.

Speaking of fatigue, why is it that when I put my defensive assistance slider on 0, my fatigue doesn't deplete when I hold the L-trigger? Am I doing something wrong? I know on the default 50, if you hold down the L-trigger, your fatigue will begin to deplete.

Last question, did they take out the ability to manually switch who you are guarding? Say for instance I am controlling Kobe and he is assigned to guard Vince Carter. If I try to go over to Nelson and guard him, Derek Fisher will not rotate over to Carter. Am I doing something wrong?

Absolutely not. Now that there's no way to "Lock On" to a certain player, the AI refuses to switch in scenarios like that.

Pisses me off a lot. I even saved a replay where I took Delonte West and stood in front of Chris Paul (who had the rock) for at LEAST 5 seconds, and Shaq refused to move.

CPU teammates refuse to switch if they already guarding their man.
If a switch previously occurred and now you are coming back to your assigned man, they will switch.
