Co-sign Czar & bigsmallwood. I've been playing this game nonstop with my boy and my bro since 10/3. We have used darn near every team in that time. I'm also 20 games into a Dynasty with the Nuggets. And all I can think of is, you guys seeing this issue must have gotten "special" copies of the game.
We must have played hundreds of games by now, and trust me, I DARE you to leave Billups or JR open. Ditto for Granger, my boy torches me with him all day. He runs this play where Granger ends up in the far corner off a few screens and has a good look. When Granger is open, he may miss a few times, but for the most part I just get ready to inbound if he's open. Man, oh man, he's prob averaging 35 against me. My brother uses Detroit, and he does nothing but call plays all day. It's VERY annoying, becuz he has mastered getting Hamilton open for midrangers. When he's open, it's money WAY MORE than when contested. Same for Ben Gordon. Golly jeez this guy lights me up lol. My boy also uses PHX, and he does P & R's all day with Nash & Amare. If Nash ends up open, he pulls and it's $$. But Amare also, sometimes he has Amare stay put because I'll overplay Nash (after him hitting 4 straight SMH) and if Amare has a look it's $$. I use the Hornets a lot too because I like bigs that can shoot. West will hit 8-10 or better when open. My boy always saying, "you ain't s***, all you do is pick n roll and kick out to West and Peja, and you run everything off of that!!" But he can't stop it. Why? Because the way I set up the play, I send Peja to the corner, call for West to screen, and let West pop out for the J top of the key. If he overplays West, CP drives for a nice eurostep or hopstep into the lane, help comes and Peja gets a look at 3. If he cuts off Paul, West gets the kickout top of the key, and it's money if he has sight. If he switches, I get a mismatch with a big on Paul.
This all works wonderfully because of the %'s when open, which is actually what this thread is complaining about LOL. I've had West go 14-17 games because my bro just refuses to respect his range. Same with Melo, my bro refuses to let him into the lane because of his high contact % DNA rating and general beastliness inside, so he gives the long range J to him. Result? Games of 12-19, 16-26 from the field. All because guys are open.
One of my fave teams to use is the Heat in the game, because Wade is so nasty. But since the Heat don't have many knockdown shooters, my boys always sending so much helps all the time with no fear of kickouts. So Wade is always shooting in traffic or in at least moderate contesting. As a result, I have yet to shoot over 50% with him. It's usually like 10-24, 11-27 just because he is never left open.
The reason I think you guys got "special" copies is becuz of this: When I get in these guys faces, they're missing at a good clip. Granger, Wade, etc, may hit some in my face, granted. But when open, or in Nash, Hamilton & Granger's case, just have some daylight, it's these times when they're killing me.
I say all that to say this: There is NO WAY it is strictly % based. Guys like blues rocker stating that the game is "flawed" even telling a Live producer how the game works. SMH. Talking like it's scientific fact when it in actuality is YOUR experience with the game. YOU are seeing that. I'm not. Haven't seen it once. When I see Ray Allen open my boy is basically already throwing up the 3 sign and screaming "CASH!!" and I'm mentally preparing to inbound. When my boy sees Granger flashing to the corner, his man caught in a screen, and he flicks the freestyle stick to hit Granger, I always feel that fear because I know it's bout to be $$ in the bank and I'm trying like all heck to get over there.
So please stop talking like this % issue you're seeing is scientific fact, much the same as the law of inertia. That's your opinion and what you've experienced.
NOTE: We only play on Superstar, 8 or 9 Min Qtrs FWIW
