Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

[The 24th Letter]

First off,
The pick and roll, and players naturally getting open is a MAJOR plus for me with this game....Im really impressed w\ the effort EA has put in the game this year....

Just some questions that are bugging me.....

Could it be my "DNA" feature is properly activated? Im having Erick Dampier (and players like him) do a big man cross and get in the lane a little often...I was assuming the DNA would elimnate that.....along those lines, after a couple games against the Mavs (I like playing them) Dirk only led the team in scoring twice...J Kidd was the leading scorer most of the time.

I feel like players hit too many shots as well, but im assuming sliders can solve some of this right?....anyway, any guidance is greatly appreciated it, Im honestly giving the game a shot this year...

Try Tomba's sliders and stay off of default settings. Its a joke so bump it to all star or superstar

Re: Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

thanks DRE, do these affect tendencies any?

Re: Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

I dont think you'll get owned by Damp like you did before.

That happened to me too but I remembered I was playing on the default setting. it really is a joke and Kidd's jumper is too good.

Can't remember my last game vs Dallas but Dampier wasnt doing much but the usual garbage buckets and stuff.

Kidd is a mixed bag. Im hoping the new update works some of this stuff over, but for the most part the tendencies of the players are great.

Im having similar problems with the wrong players taking shots. 2 examples, a game with Miami: Wade 5 shots the whole game all jumpers, Marcus Banks 16 shots. ??? Cavs game Z player of game 25 points, Lebron 7 points all jumpers????? My only problem with the game is players who are penetrators pull up for jumpers way too much. On a poitive note I noticed that the replay games arent like that so maby the DNA will sooth this out. Me and playmakers at sportsgamers are working on roster edits, actually he's doing the edits im just kinda testing them for him.

Your right rewind games tell a much different story.

Ill have to try the Rewind mode.....cause I just played the Bucks and Redd was 3rd in shot attempts....

That was me also.

And then I learnt how to play perimeter D.

Now the right guys are unstoppable...and scrubs like Banks never burn me...

Yep, im certain he's playing pg's all tight and hasn't figured out what to do

Re: Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

I have more of a problem w\ ATTEMPTS by uncharacteristic players....not so much them scoring

Yep, im certain he's playing pg's all tight and hasn't figured out what to do

lol shoot, I was already doing this b\c of the other game...give them a inch in either one and theyll take the shot or drive

Re: Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

You can't do that with quick guys, thats why nba players dont play them up close. You can shade their shooting arm but not too long... force them into the help D.. other than that you learn when and when not to back off and get up in his chest.


Playing defense is totally different in both games though, the approach is not the same at all. It takes some unlearning the traditional way that we're used to, but the more you play, it just clicks and you start seeing where things are going.

In some events thats the case like when i first got the game i would play up on the pg and he would slip by and pop the j, i mean thats understandable bc it happens in real life. Ill admit after more time with the game it got better but you have to admit there is some weird shot distribution sometimes. Another example is the computer may get to the rim but pull up for a 3 foot jumper intead of a layup. I try to run a lot of zone to take away the shooting lanes and force the drive with mixed results. Its still baffling why the rewind games play different. The players actually react and read more lifelike.

Re: Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

I had Dampier cross me up twice in the one game... not cool.

I'm hoping the 365 updates will get rid of that.

Re: Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

lol yeah i had one encounter with Damp too but i was on default settings.

It's not like the game always does it though. Maybe they'll handle this in either the 365 updates or the patch

Re: Been putting in some work w\ this game.....

Its a joke so bump it to superstar

lol No, don't do that. Unless you want guys pulling and popping everything.

To have open jumpers have even the smallest % of missing, you need to be at All-Star at the highest. Superstar is ridiculous. The CPU hits everything.

Unless.. that's what you're into. Doesn't resemble the NBA, however.
