    Arms up is just pushing up on the right stick (should be same on PS3 as 360). Take charge is pushing down on same stick. (Please don't get online with this and be a cheeseball and try to draw charges all over the place like the guy simply trying to bring the ball down, use it when appropriate).

      good thing the charges basically never work... that crap is annoying though.

      And yeah, it would be GREAT if a game finally got charges/blocking right... Live has basically none of those calls and the entire system is broken.

        Well I wouldn't say that exactly. I think EA is trying to replicate what's seen on TV because honestly in the NBA unless you're known as a great defender or have a reputation of getting certain calls you won't get them. Seems the same as in the game. lol. I think the charge system is pretty good. I think the blocking can be tweaked some though. I'll agree with that. I hardly ever see that called but then it may just be me. Maybe there's more to the game that I haven't discovered.

          You can literally sit stationary in the 'take charge' pose and have a guy turbo right over you but you will never ever get that call. It was pretty okay before the patches (especially the demo.. I thought they nailed it there), but after the first patch, the system seems totally bugged. Much of the issue I think is that people going to the basket will shoot more times than not when about to run over someone and the game does automatic body contact animations that pull the defender out of the "take charge" posture and make them contest even if the user did nothing. That and the prevalence of Euro/hop step moves to finish at the basket, and it's pretty much impossible to take a charge in this game.

            As long as you don't turbo your player to the standing guy on halfcourt you don't get called foul and sometimes you get a defensive foul, and most of the time if you turbo while the d standing you get called for an offensive; i tested it a lot, i'm pretty assured that they nailed it very very good; if it weren't like the way it is; then all cheeser would be easily awarded for doing this. I hope you're not one of them.

              I'm very sure stumbleweed is not a cheeser.

              I will say I agree with you though. I think they did nail it right. Stumbleweed has some good points but I still have to say in order to get the overall flow right they did nail it. I've also seen where I put my hands up down in the paint but my guy still wants to contest. Again I have to go with Live trying to portray what they see on TV. I think it goes to awareness of the player. You can tell players in real life really want to do one thing but they get caught up and do something else even though in their mind they're saying "don't do it,don't do it". How many shots have we taken when before we even attempt the shot we say "Don't take this shot" and then we do it anyway. lol. Also you're right, it would become a cheesefest at some point if they didn't have that "give" there.

                My problem is that I play dudes online and I KNOW they're going to drive into the paint with LeBron, so I patiently get into their lane with a big and get ready to take the charge but it NEVER works. Not once have I gotten this call, and rarely have I even gotten a blocking foul. Either the defender gets pulled into a bogus contact animation, the offensive player goes around him, or there is simply some warping that occurs and there is no contact whatsoever. I can count on one hand the number of charging and blocking calls I've gotten in this game, and all of them came before the patches.

                  Exactly my issue with this game...only I dont play online so that happens to me with the CPU getting all of that benefit.

                  It was a mistake removing the charge and block animations from Live 09

                  ..but what you described above annoys me to no end. The CPU gets so many ft's from okey doking my cpu teammates into that wack canned contact animation whenever it decides it just wants to score...and that is after the other things you described transpires to get the CPU past my defender.

                    slightly related to defense question. so if i'm playing defender and guy is backing me down, he does an up and under, how do i not bite on the fake? i try press left stick towards direction i know he's gonna shoot but i still bite on fake anyway and give up easy bucket. or should i just put hands up with right stick? thanks!

                      I feel you there buddy. I'm not saying everything is perfect, they could still do some more work on the game. I usually limit my Cavs play to two guys only and then I wont play anyone else using the Cavs. I get sick of playing against the same team over and over and over and over and over and over again. Especially if I'm using the Knicks (talk about bringing a tank to a knife fight). It's tough trying to contain Lebron but I just try to frustrate him by keeping people constantly on him and just rotating somebody over the millisecond I see he's about to shed the one guy I got on him. Main thing though when I play people online is trying to stop the 3pt abuse. I find most people don't even know what to do with Lebron.

                        Oh, i got it, haven't tested out that situation in your case, that could be a problem i don't know for sure, the situations needed to be clearly differentiated so that in your case if you get there in time and get no call; it's problematic i feel you.
