Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

^ What level are you playing on? On pro with the foul sliders turned up I'm seeing good results. Gotten to the line over 30 times as a team here and there in my last bunch of games.

i was on all star because Pro was too easy. what sliders are you using on pro to make the game more challenging?

[ehh]

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

I have help D turned up and that's about it for now. I do need to make it a little more challenging, not sure what I'm going to adjust.

What happened to the great floor spacing this game had?? Seems like everyone is getting jumbled up in the paint now.

[ehh]

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

Really? I'm not seeing that at all. Are you isoing way too much and just doing pick-n-rolls where you hold down B/circle?

If you run plays in the right situation and push the ball other times then the spacing is beautiful.

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

I like the game. I wouldn't have kept it if I didn't. It has postives the other game doesn't have. But like only thing that doesn't keep me it like the other game. Is the animations. I think what they have build here is a great stepping stone. But it needs more work EA is a big enough company to do it.

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

I used to play this game everyday but I just can't play this game anymore. Its like Live is trying to make their game like the other game. Pre patch i liked the game very much but post patch the game is very frustrating. Big men can handle like guards yet again. One guy I played online put Dirk at pg and score ALL of his points. Last year you couldnt score all of your points with one player and if you did you would get killed. That just couldn't happen pre patch. Last year in 09 defense meant something. This year it is just atrocious. There is a lag on pressing the block button so players can always get their jump shot off. There is some kind of force field that wont allow you to get up on your player. And if mo williams goes 12-18 for 3's one more time im going to scream!!

What level are you playing on? HUM v HUM needs to be on Superstar IMO for stuff like this especially because Hands On Perimeter takes care of big guys (and anyone really) who tries to over penetrate.

I'm not seeing it when I'm on offense that much ecause I run plays and they do space the floor well when running plays. Seems like the CPU, when running its offense, gets crammed up in the lane. I didnt notice this at all before the patch.

Ive had Bynum do stepback dribbles on me twice just like Melo can on All Star in a rewind game, but I dont see it every game.

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

Yeah, I don't mind it. The bigs are dribbling too well now. It was better before in that aspect... but the only real thing I can't stop is people shooting right over me. I just lost twice in a row to the same person (something that doesn't usually happen... believe it or not) who used the same team and the same strategy. In the second game, he actually did better than the first (but so did I... so it was about the same score.)

Long story short: Steve Nash 15-22. I can't hate, but I am a good defender... I was there for every shot. He had Hill at PF and never passed him the ball so I Was shadowing him with Beasley and he still made it!! I only got one block and he hit some amazing 3s on me. Deep ones. Hit one 30 foot buzzer beater in each game. It's very frustrating, but I'd like to try again with Wade on him.

It just made me so mad cuz I was playing defense and he was just running back and forth and he never got any more space... and it seemed like after awhile he just was like "Im gonna shoot because I'm not getting anywhere." and then he'd wet it. 15-22... lol.

True, vs the CPU there isn't much we can do. Did Bynum pop a J after you saw those dribbles?

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

I stopped playing after the first patch. I don't know why EA decided to change the gameplay. Aside from the foul discrepancy I thought it was perfect the way it was all they needed to do was add the post button and fix player lock.

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

thanks to EHH, im back on my Live baby!! LOL! I feel like such a moron complaining abot the foul calls when it was all user error. thanks to his thread, Live wont leave my disk tray except for COD2, and NCAA College BBall!

The post game is not great buy there are somenice moves(Still very limited), but i really enjoy the game so i wont let some issue affect the overall enjoyment for me.

Thanks EHH

Re: Is anyone still playing this game?

I've tried everything I could to keep the game in my rotation. Not knowing if a game will finish in OT or whatever is just way too much to overcome.

Thought I could overlook it, but I just can't. Makes an entire 45 mins-1 hour I play for a close game completely worthless and a waste of time.

Just waiting for the second patch at this point. I may not even bother by the time that happens. Can't even use online leagues to extend the longevity of the game, because they're still bare bones.

I'm with you, selling it off. I've tried it all, the game is just dead to me. Dynamic Season is a complete dud to me, I know others like it, but for me, it feels like I'm playing exhibition games. I can't even see the box score for the game I just played. UGH.

Then the stats being off in the DS just further kills it. Just nothing pulling me back in for one more game
