Stumble,
how do you feel about giving Ray Allen the "High Follow" shot. It's much quicker than his original release?

I'm liking the patch so far. Only thing I don't like is that backing down in the post is near impossible. Any fixes?

It's still too slow at times. There's that one animation where the shooter takes two steps before he takes his jump shot. That's a killer.

There need to be more animations (or at least exit points) to branch off the offensive moves to a jumpshot.

They also need to find a better way to deal with the inside game. There are just way too many blocks. I have some ideas.

Using the hop step back with Kobe and then waiting for his slow release sucks.

I just had a decent game with the Bulls against the Grizzlies. I won by 5 points, but we both scored in the 120-130 point range (playing on 12 minutes, AS, default). I cahnged my camera a little bit and zoomed it out to try and see cuts from the wings before it was too late. That helped a lot, but the CPU teammate defense still lacks. Still, with more practice I'm hoping I should get better. Rudy Gay had 40 points, but Mayo had only 15.

Points in the paint for the Grizzlies was still crazy high at 80+. Post-up moves still seem pretty automatic for the CPU, but on my end not to much. Noah missed two point-blank layups with nobody contesting the shots. I'm not sure how to get the overall points down, maybe I was playing a quick game since I wasn't really trying to run a lot of plays on the offensive end, but I definitely wasn't doing the ol run-n-gun either.

actually just pushing user strength to 60 and leaving the cpu at 50 does a good job. u still get ur backdowns when ur supposed too.

first u gotta lower ur shooting succes sliders. on default u will have 120 point games regularly. try these out if u like

close 35
med 40
3point 48
lay-up 45

im having great games with those sliders against the cpu and head to head. also, i believe there are too many offensive rebounds at default which leads to more points off of second chances. i lowered my offensive rebounds and raised the defensive rebounds. i have mines at

off 30
def 75.

if u try them tell me what u think?

good numbers, but i go:

33 close
48 mid ( so bigs can still shoot the mid range J )
48 3pt
47 lay-up

either way tho....Thats one thing about OS, it doesnt teach the ins and outs of the game that much, but when it does, people are actually helpful.

i always try to help if i can.

I apologize if this was mentioned already, but my first post-patch game in association felt really off. I was missing a lot of wide open looks and my opponent (Utah) turned the ball over 22 times (I only turned it over 4 times). Was this an anomaly or are other people experiencing this?

I feel you...The computer really makes dumb passes against me and don't make smart decisions. They'll pass it to a teammate with one of my guys right in front of him. This is on Pro by the way.
