This game (and more specifically 365) changing the way I watch the real game

Funny thing - I was watching the Raptors game last night when I got home from work (Raptors in an Hour on Raptors TV) and was watching players' tendancies. LOL

Kept thinking to myself - is Calderon favouring the left or right side, etc...

LOL, because for one a feature like 365 is for real.

LOL!! I was doing the same thing watching the Kings v Timberwolves last night!!! I was seeing how Jason Thompson on the Kings (a rookie) had a very good game (18 pts/10 rbs, I think) and was wondering if he keeps it up if they'll change his ratings.

Agreed I was doing the same thing. Although I already know some tendencies of alot of players its fun comparing the two and seeing others.

The thing that has always amazed me about NBA Players, is that many of them do the same thing repeatedly. You know what they are going to do, they are just so dang good at it.

Tracy McGrady..he jabs steps right, and goes left near every dang time, but he's so explosive, he either gets fouled, or gets a decent shot off most of the time. It's just a matter of whether or not he converts.

If he sees you cheating off, he'll either go hard right, or he rises up for the J. These guys are just so dang good.

If most of us tried some of the shots these guys take in our everday pickup games, we'd miss the basket by about 3 feet 9 out of 10 times.

LOL! That is hilarious but true. They make it look so easy. Last year after they added go to moves, I started trying to use Dwyane Wade's step back jumper in the games I was playing. That's a lot easier to hit with consistency but trying to just blow past guys like they do is ridiculous. Just take a look at the looks on the kids faces on the Adidas commercial where Gilbert Arenas is showing the kids that through the legs, around the back spin move. He's like: "Alright, one man D up, let's go" Their faces are hilarious. You're right, they're good at what they do.

They are good at what they do, and they do the same things all the time... but like I told Czar... you can see plays in this game develop, but just because you see it develop doesn't mean you'll stop it.


The thing is, teams have reports or DNA scouting reports, lol on other players but the crown goes to the one who executes their gameplan the best.

If a player beats you to his spot most of the time you're toast.

Can someone tell me if there is a way to turn off the playcall indicator for the CPU, that comes up at the top of the screen?

I do not want to 'see' their playcall everytime they intiate a new play. I would like to have the play develop and try to defend it on the fly, without knowing what play is actually being ran.

Turn off DNA Ticker in your settings.
