SO you feel the game plays well? How is the mid-range jump shooting? And do you get much of the slowdown?

<hr /></blockquote>

Well there is a slider for mid ranged shooting so thats no big deal. I have'nt even experienced that matter of faact. I was draining jumpers yesterday. And I have'nt noticed any slowdown ethier. Maybe ppl are looking for gripes instead of just playing the game.

All you might have to do is drop a player from your roster to the free agents, pick up the superstar thats in the free agents, trade the superstar for a IR scrub on the team that you want to put him back on, drop the scrub to the free agents and resign the guy you droped at first.

Wash, Rinse and repeat.

Somebody need to try this.

Why do you guys always have to come up with artificial fixes for stuff like this? Why not just buy another game and speak to EA with your wallet? Surely, Inside Drive or ESPN will be a better game than this...they were last year. By continuing to buy theses defective products, you're basically telling EA, "OK, I'm a drone and will buy anything you put out, broken or not".

Buy one of the other games and send EA an e-mail letting them know you did. EA's QA has simply gotten pathetic with these last few releases.

<hr /></blockquote>

normally i would agree with you on this and in fact i still do, i have not bought ea's basketball game last year because of the above and let my money speak for me. I think the problem lies this year in that ea may have (haven't picked up my copy yet) nailed the gameplay which for those of us who like the way ea presents nba basketball but have disagreed with the arcadeness or other gameplay flaws this years product represents a breakthough. While i have enjoyed the 2k series the lack of plays and other things i think ea does better had me leaning toward ea this year and this one bug is the only thing that gives me(them) pause.

its hard for guys who have been preaching fix the gameplay first to walk away from a game that plays great but has dynasty flaws, when in past years we said the dynasty doesn't matter if the gameplay sucks..

i hate getting in that position of loving the gameplay in one game and wanting the graphics and dynasty mode of another... just my opinion of course but it does make it tuff... like robert townsend said do you throw away a rolls royce cause it has a dent in it ??? do you dismiss a beautiful woman becaue her breath stinks or do you just hand her some chewing gum / listermint ( "Why do you guys always have to come up with artificial fixes for stuff like this?")

Don't know if it will solve all the Free Agency problems, but it's an option.

And, another thing, I will agree with Graphik- people need to stop searching for bugs like they're Matlock. It seems some people are spending more time looking for problems than actually playing the game. And half of the people on here complaining about "bugs" haven't even bought or played the game yet. Relax.

Well that should solve it.....right? If you can modify the cpus roster, then you should be able to add a free agent to roster..
