    Thanks.
    My PG/Knicks is ATH (Ovr:83) with very good speed (91), quickness (90) & strength (40), and its work getting into the lane.

    IMHO, its ABILITIES, dribbling and layup . You ability to breakdown defenders on the perimeter allows you a MUCH WIDER lane to the hoop to launch the burst "animation".

    I like to Hop & Pop, so he needs a "Good" In and Out, Step Back for the way I play to take him to the "next" level. However, I do like to go to the hoop, so a "Great" crossover would get this done.

    I just started a SG -Scoring that has Average Dribbling skills and he can get into the lane on just ONE move despite the fact that his Speed (75) and Quickness (67) are poor because I use dribble moves and DON'T RELY ON on sheer physical skills (something I continue to learn the hard way).

    Athletic Guards get alot of physical skills and average Layup ability but they start with POOR Shooting and Average Dribbling Abilities.

    Last but not least (85 plus) Team Chemistry, your teammates set better picks for you to get into the lane...finishing and getting fouls called is another matter.

    The more experience I get with this SIM, the more I am finding that MAXING the OBVIOUS attributes is not always the best route. A balance between saving for Abilities and not adding too much to certain skills IS MORE EFFICIENT in making a Superstar.

    If you take a peak (Edit)(Roster) at some players that are giving you trouble or you feel are mediocre (On Defense); you will find that they have an Ability that is far superior to your My Player.

    A real Pain: Rodney Stuckey - Pistons; Abilties: Spin Layup/Dunk: Great ; All his dribbling abilities are Good and his Spin is Great. Sure his speed (85) and Quickness (90) are decent but not impressive for a Guard, nevertheless, you can't keep him in front of you and out of the lane....AGGRAVATING

      The messed up thing is that the generated players come in with high abilities, even the 50-60s players.
      It should be higher to start off higher abilities.

          Hey guys, need a bit of advice here.

          MyPlayer is a 6'3" PG playing for the Magic. I am looking to improve upon my off-ball offense, and keep getting sucked into defenders and able to run freely around the court.

          My attributes are:

          99 Speed
          99 Quickness
          81 Off Awareness
          35 Strength (if relevant)

          Any tips or specific attributes I should be buying? I'm okay at using the triggers to make cuts, but on diagramed plays I have a hard time running long arcs and towards the basket.

            My SF just had the best game of his rookie season in a blowout loss. His previous high was 12. He had 26 pts(53%), 5 rebs, 1 block, and 8-8 FT.
            I got Ball Security to 71. I was going to max it, but I will stop at 80 and use dribble course to finish. I will then work on Consistency til 85, then defensive ratings.

                Just started my 6-6 SG, and he is getting "mugged" all over the court. The bumping (caught in picks on "D") has a lot to do with intelligence and strength.

                Off Awareness @ 85 should do the trick as far as being "smarter", but get that Strength to 40 and your problems will go away. (I have a PG/Knicks/6-3/207lbs/OVR:83) Strength also plays a vital role in your player's ability to finish at the basket on finger rolls/layups (burst thru traffic).

                You may want to think about taking some Speed (99) skill points away and moving it over. There will be a slight penalty for moving the skill points but its better to Move Easier than a lightening speed going nowhere.

                The "bumping" is a hard thing to get used to in the begining, but once you know WHY, its a fairly easy thing to correct. At the moment I am trying to avoid the temptation of hitting the Turbo Boost when my weak and "simple minded" rookie is moving thru traffic. Don't forget to use your triggers to move to spots...hard to remember in the middle of a play but it works like a magic charm!

                p.s. - The Larry Bird tutorial (off ball moves) is such a pain to work thru, and un-fortunately this is the weakest part of my game; which ones do you really like to use? (hopefully ur on the PS3-lol)

                The only one I have mastered is R2 - dbl the direction with joystick on PS3

                  Just got my second signature shoe, it's the same as the first, but you choose different colorways, so basically I have a home shoe, and away shoe.

                        Draft bug and injury bug need to be fixed for next year, no question.

                          My rookie year with my 6'8 sf Quinn Flowers is near completion. He was hurt three times early on, so he didn't play the all star game and does not have a chance for the league leaders list. However he did lead the rookies in an upset win over the sophmores which is nice. It is also nice how you actually get to start in that game, unlike the gliched all star game.

                          I got golden state to second in their conference. Besides their explosive offense with curry and ellis, their defense is just SO BAD. I felt I did enough for them and took my talents to the bulls. They traded Deng for me, so its rose, noah, my sf, boozer, and hamilton.

                          My season averages are 33 ppg 9.7 rpg 5 apg 2.8 spg and 1.1 bpg I am increasing all of my defense attrbutes and I hope to make him the biggest defensive beast in the NBA like my pg was.

                          I like how with a sf you can get to the line by just driving hard most of the time, i also like how sf are ballsy. Like dunking on a guy and talking **** to them while they are laid out flat on the ground. It is a fun position because sf can do so much! With the bulls winning games is a tad too easy, with golden state I had to work for every win but I am happy with my trade.

                          Why is derrik rose's 3 point tendency so low? He never will take the open 3! highly annoying.

                              Once you get to 80 Dunk, contact dunk happens 2-3 times a game.
