As you get better are you noticing that you don't use the hop step as

[HoodedSoldier]

..............much as when you first started playing. A few days ago my brother beat me and was talkin [censored you naughty boy] or what not but i played the cpu for the next few days and when i played him yesterday i was barely using the hop step. I was doing a lot better ball movement and finding open players and what not, while u bashed away at the hop step button to get open because my d was frustrating him, he did it for 2 games and lost both game by a lot. So i think yes the hop step can be abused but it also can be stopped as you get better.

Re: As you get better are you noticing that you don\'t use the hop step as

I noticed that to. Its mainly because the pro hop is defetnitly not as effective as everyone claims it is. When you pro hop, even if you get pass the man, you still have a high chance at getting the ball smacked back at you by the cpus big man or shooting a off balanced shot and missing. And sometimes, you'll just Pro hop in place because the cpus D is'nt allowing you to move.

But beware, the cpu will abuse the pro hop if your D is'nt up to par. One thing I noticed is that if you give him a little bit of space, he'll drive and pro hop on you all day(Second half mostly). It leads to alot of cheap baskets by the cpu. If you play tight D, and play thier screen play correctly, then you'll eliminate his space forcing him to pass and try again.

One thing, I'm considering is going to my playbook, then my defense assignments, and setting everyones press to high, that might eliminate that and force the cpu to play a sound game.

I usually let the pressure stay at default for the first quarter, then turn it up to medium in the 2nd and half of the 3rd. Then I kick the defensive pressure on up to High pressure for the rest of the game.

Do you find that your players get tired quicker?

SoMiss- I do find that players get tired easily, but some players can play through it pretty effectively. KG can still play really well in the paint, even if he's tired, he misses jump shots. But you can adjust the fatigue effect filter if you need to.
-does anyone else notice that calling time outs doesn't really give your guys any juice?
