    Got the game today

    Its sweet. Player animations are so sick, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Playing the 2K series since launch, I thought I would be bothered by the graphics, but thats not the case at all.

    I've been watching football for most of the day, but when I have played, I did alot of practice just to get a feel for the controls, and I played two 8 minute games using Pareds sliders. I also spent a good hour updating each roster to a tee.

    I just have two questions,


    What camera angle do you guys suggest? I'm a sidelines guy myself, but I can't seem to find a good angle that isn't too close yet not too far. I'm open to all suggestions.


    Second question is.......I just played a game against the Sixers and AI went nuts on me getting back for the easy baskets. Is there any solution to stop this?? You guys who have already started seasons and franchises, do you just deal with it, or have you figured out a way to contain the non-stop fast breaks????




    One more thing to add. Controlling big men in the post is great in this game. Granted, I'm not familiar with the controls yet and I'm jacking up all sorts of crazy moves when I was Yao, but just getting the ball in the post and battling for position feels and looks so life like its insane.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of NBA Live. As you play even more, then you will most definately get into it even more. There are gonna be times when players like AI go off on you and score quite a few consecutive buckets, but change your strategy, double him, go to a 3-2 rotating zone, change your Defense up. You will learn how to cut down on this stuff. Just give it some time, and welcome to our cult, lol.

          Thanks

          I think you may be right. I'm so unfamilar with the controls, that calling a play in mid-play is out of the question for me right now. I'm lucky if I don't hit the dunk button around the three point line.

          AI did score about 14 points on me just running up the court in one half alone, but it didn't bother me at all. I know I'll eventually get the hang of everything.

                Glad you're enjoying the game. I don't really think there's any other way to slow down their fastbreaks other than to just "get back on defense". I think it's something that you'll learn to control as you get more comfortable with the game. There are times in the game when they beat me down court for a bit. In those times I'm happy to just get back and foul them. No easy buckets in my house! After the shot goes up, I can usually switch to one of my guards quickly and turbo back down the floor. Just kinda having them in position to get back helps.

                I use the press camera with it like 3 or 4 clicks to the left (zoomed out).

                      Depends on who you play...press the X button on the pre game matchup and get a scouting report. Teams that have full on fast break...do so big time.

                      If I'm against a FB team...I set my own crash boards to OFF.

                      That way, my guards get back and stop the fast break. I can still go for the O rebound by contolling one player under the basket, normally Elton Brand in my season (I'm using the Clippers as I wanted to play the western conference)

                      Teams like Atlanta and Detroit play more half court...so you can stay normal in those games or crash boards.

                      As Somiss says also...foul them on the break. I HAMMER guys going for the lay ups...mind you, that's propabaly why I am losing so far as half my starters are in foul trouble.

                            I'm a sideview gamer as well so it's Press Cam, Auto Zoom off for me. Speed of the game is turned down to 50. That's all the "tweaking" I've done and I'm loving the game.
