ok can someone answer these few questions for me?

[Ownal0t]

both questions have to do with ONLINE play

- How do i stop the inside game?
it seems like no matter how hard i try i cant do nothing to stop people from playing inside fest 15 on me. yet when i try to play their game i always get swatted .

is there something im not doing? i tried playing Man/ i tried 2-3 / hell i even tried playing offball + Pack paint. nothing works for me. so whats up?

- Stealing accuracy.... how do you get these steals?

i know, i know we went over this. but i still dont get it and now im more lost than ever. i just faced a guy who had 4 steals with nene and 3 with Jermine o neal along with 2 for derozen and 3 more for other people. (12 total) on my GUARDS. 3 of these where picked from the air, i threw a bad pass. i can live with those. but i cant live with a Center/PF ripping my guards on a consistant matter.

and before people say "protect the ball" i did. he got 16 fouls that game.......

to add insult to injury, he would bring the ball up court with nene/ or taj gibson. and i couldnt rip them for the life of me. i finished with 6 steals ( 4 were bad passes)

maybe im used to 2k, but this is so wrong.

- extra credit, how to get better rebounding postioning. it seems like no matter what my frontcourt are always out of place when its time for a board and the other team just ends up getting a Offensive board.

how can i improve this?

thanks in advance

- You can't stop the inside game. It's a huge flaw in the game right now. As bad as the block numbers can get, there are certain animations and spots that just never miss. And you can literally have all 5 defenders on the shooter and it still goes in.

Same goes for tiny guards literally dribbling around in circles until they get into the paint. They throw up that silly little flat footed runner/layup and even if 2 7 footers are in front of them, it goes in.

- Getting steals is easy enough, you just direct/angle your player and his swipe on at the hand the ball is in. No secret really.

And as far as protecting it goes, yeah there's little you can do. The game needs to increase the reach in fouls to stop people swiping. They could also add more of a momentum penalty, slowing or stopping the player who swipes for the ball more harshly so if they miss, they get blown by.

- Funnily enough you've got 3/3 for the game's biggest gameplay flaws. Rebounding and boxing out is one of them for sure. You can press the box out button but it means nothing when the game has predetermined where the ball is going and who is going to get it. You know this when you perfectly box someone out and the game simply refuses to let you jump even when you smash the jump button.

Very good game with lots of fun to be had and lots of impressive features but you've just highlighted it's huge flaws. Just have to live with it until 16 I guess.

Having the same problems...I really want to play this game...I have tried again a and again...but I'm done...have had enough bullsh##t. I'm going back to 2K at least I have a fighting chance in that game. Since the update..ultimate team challenges are just not possible..my bronze players can't hit open jumpers and the cpu doesn't miss...defenders barely ever react to a pump fake and even when they do...I still can't get by them as they recover instantly. What's the point in boxing out when the defender behind my guy somehow gets the rebound anyway? What was the point in making nearly every release a great/green release when even when open they just miss?

I like that EA tried...but the flaws in this game make me more angry and annoyed when playing it than it's worth...and I've had it since day one at full price. Like others are saying...I'm calling plays, using defensive sets and nothing seems to work. Against human players it's not as bad because they will fall for fakes and leave openings....but the cpu is unrealistic. Playing against people online is too much cheese...even though I've managed to beat the basket hangin most of the time...I want to enjoy the ultimate team...so I'm going to 2K...it's at least playable.

Ok..so I kept at it...and I've been able to beat other challenges in LUT but the bronze ones may be the most difficult...at least for me. No one else seems to comment so either no one else plays the rookie fantasy challenges or I'm the only one who can't beat them...lol.

Anyway...reason for this post after the previous rant is just to say this game does have a lot of good features and I do like it. As stated there are some bugs that you just can't do anything about...but you can still have enjoyable games and I like ultimate team a lot. although madden is way ahead on the way it works with the auction and all.

I'd really like to know if others are having as difficult a time with the bronze medium challenges as I am. I have finally beaten 3 of the 4...but its taken me several attempts or more to beat the 2nd and 3rd challenge...I have yet to try the 4th yet..but will later. thx to anyone who can share their results.
