    Can someone put this concern to rest for me? (Developers especially)

    Now that i have figured out how to properly play defense in this game (Which is to anticipate rather then react) one huge flaw becomes even more apparent.

    Which is the the lack help you receive from your CPU teammates. One of the things I realized once I figured this out was my teammates don't apply this same method of anticipation vs reaction. They apply the old video game logic of wait then react.

    This is fine against certain teams like the Spurs because they run a slow style. But against teams like the Suns or Warriors you start to realize how much the AI gives up.

    When you play w/ the mind set of anticipation your teammate AI looks terrible. Because you'll know when the CPU is about to start launching up desperate 3's and react accordingly.

    Problem is if you don't get out on those shooters or stop that drive yourself 99% of the time the CPU will score. The AI really lacks the intelligence needed to stop these plays.

    I've tried making adjustments to the pressure settings but they don't make a difference because, your team will defend them the same way no matter what.

    So my question is, is there anyway to fix this problem because I am getting tired of giving up leads or losing game's because I couldn't react to something myself.

    Even though I had a perfectly capable teammate who should have been able to defend that play or pick up that loose ball.

    Is this something that can be cleaned up in the patch?

    Because the CPU teams do exactly what I want to do on defense against me. I would just like to have that same ability to do it back to them.

    As of right now it feels unfair that they can play two of my best players tight on the perimeter. And at the same time deny my post players the ball by not giving him position. Which can really stagnate a offense as a lot you probably already know.

    And then when I get down on the other end all I can do is key in one one guy and hope that know one else burns me. Hopefully a dev or somebody else can chime in on this because I think if this addressed it will make the game even better then it already is.

    I agree with you 100% and would also like the answer to this.

      I've only played several games and gotten my butt kicked(usually by 20 points or more) but I've gotten in a good rythym a few times in each game. This "rythym" I believe has come from good D. It is tough to play D but I believe I'm starting to get it. This lack of AI sounds like a BIG deal. I mean I play with the Spurs who are supposed to be a good defensive team. Well in the future what if I felt like building a defensive power house? Say like aquiring guys like Artest, Posey, T. Chandler, Thabeet, I should be able to take advantage of their defensive skill. Not constantly getting burned by some middle of the road player.

          I am with you 100%. Hopefully this gets addressed because in my opinion this game would be amazing if it does.

            I mentioned this earlier but, my biggest problem was teams like New York, Suns, Sometimes play better defense then teams like Boston, Bobcats it just makes me feel weird when I cant seem to score against teams with bad defense.
