Re: Why are defenders leaving their assignments?

While I feel I shoulnt HAVE to make these adjustments....Czars vids have pretty much solved the issue for me...

its all about a good mix between your coach and individual profiles...

If you just change the individual defensive settings in-game you should be fine.

It's important to switch up those same settings in game though, as an example, I was playing as the Nets vs. Bucks yesterday originally my defense concentrated on shutting down Stephen Jackson while that worked for a while the AI eventually adjusted and because of all the extra attention I was giving S-Jax, Drew Gooden began going to work against Kris Humphries and Travis Outlaw (Lopez was in foul trouble) so I had to lighten up the attention given to S-Jax and increase the attention I was giving to opposing post players...

It's a give-and-take relationship just like in real life it's hard to shut down every single option the opposing team has.

More often than not it boils down to picking your poison.

I noticed this when I started playing. Clyde Drexler and the rest of the Blazers burying wide open jumpers on me was the most maddening videogame **** I've dealt with in quite some time.

I'm really glad theres a solid fix, which is the reason I love this site, but I still think that the game out of the box shouldn't include shooters being left wide open on the perimeter.

Take the time to watch Czars video...you can completely eliminate this....

if your still complaining at this point, its simply b/c you want to.

now if only there was cure for the rest of the nonsense :-(

da czars video does not fix this. still players trying to change matchaps causing wide open shots

It does indeed. For me it solved the 3s on online as well. Noone went over 30% 3 pointers with these settings. And believe me they tried, 20 or more 3pt attempts as usual.

Remember too, that nothing is absolute. It's all pct based, so sometimes a defender will still screw up and just miss an assignment. You know - kinda like real life.

Re: Why are defenders leaving their assignments?

the only problem I got with D is for reason beyond me during a certain stretch during the guy whoever kobe is guarding just starts dominating. I will take over for a couple mins and then everything goes back to normal. Anyone know why that happen?

Re: Why are defenders leaving their assignments?

I have a few questions. I don't want to bash the game and I didn't know what the appropriate way to go about getting answers is, starting a new thread or asking in an existing one.

For me, I just cannot get this game to play like basketball. I need to see gameplay videos of someone doing it right because I obviously am doing it wrong. Will someone give me a link to a video of someone playing the "sim basketball" everyone is describing? I can win but it's cheesey!! I have to just abuse attacking the paint and getting to the free throw line and other things like that and they produce the most unsatisfying wins. Here are most, not all, of my issues:

1. The CPU offensive rebounds over 3-4 of my players at will and it seems clear the ball seeks the CPU player. I see them miss a 3 pointer long but instead of a high long rebound it falls right under the rim or wherever the out of position CPU super rebounder is.

2. My passes go straight to the CPU even if I have a clear angle that the CPU isn't in and if that won't work my AI teammate will jump into the D to make sure the interception is complete. Unlike in real life where playing the passing lanes means jump into the lane of the pass, it seems that the passing lanes jump into the CPU defender so there is no risk of him getting out of position going for a steal and missing. I find the only sure shot is to walk way out to give a straight angle or just go over and give the ball to the receiver.

3. What am I doing wrong on D that gives CJ Miles the ability to dream shake?

4. Why is it that when I play post D the slightest touch on the left stick makes my man hop out of position even w/out holding intense D?

5. Why is it that a CPU pump fake makes me slide pass the CPU ball handler even if I don't move the left stick?

6. For that matter why does my defender's girth feel more like a pencil trying to guard another pencil when playing any kind of close D, meaning the slightest misalignment make the players slip right pass each other instead of just bumping each other off center?

7. Why does a hands up shot challenge make me jump out of position on pump fakes instead of standing still and putting my hand up?

Again I'm not trying to say the game is broken, clearly others are having a more positive experience. I am still willing to give this game a shot but I am becoming... no, I am extremely frustrated, and am seeking help! In answers to what I am doing wrong or how to compensate for the designed in challenges of this game would be appreciated.

There's a fundamental problem in how the entire thing is implemented if it is THIS confusing for some.

The gamer who just "picks up and plays" should not have this many questions about all the options in the game.
