I personally have not reviewed the attributes, so it would be nice to hear a confirmation update frome Schwall in this regard. However, I must say that if he (or anyone in the gameplay department for that matter) has not applied any changes within the past week I would be SHOCKED!
By the way, there was an update to the game today ( the dialog box that shows "Updating Game or something to that effect). Immediately after receiving this update i proceeded to play today's Matchup between the Cavs and the Thunder. Some quick notes about the game and observations on various improvements.
1. Witnessed a good amount of mid range shots by Ibaka, Durant, Jackson, and Westbrook.
2. Witnessed Ibaka shooting a few threes as in real life.
3. Witnessed Durant and Westbrook pulling of some amazing moves off ISO's and screens. For example, spins coupled with mid air adjustments and great mis-directing body contortions.
4. Witnessed kick outs off screens typically to cpu teammates normally camped at perimeter.
5. Witnessed ALOT more missed layups by both user and cpu when contested.
6. Witnessed my user controlled Shawn Marion hit a mid range shot that was semi contested. Then a few plays later hitting a 3 pt shot. There is absolutely NO way I could achieve this with Marion before these game adjustments considering his awkward and difficult shot release.
7. Witnessed the cpu making the correct end game decisions! This is huge folks. I have actually been observing this for the past 2 to 3 days, however, the only issue I saw at the time was that if the cpu player was not open at the 3 pt line they would attempt to cycle the ball and sometimes try to draw you in with a post play/player before kicking out to the player at the 3 pt line. The problem is this sequence would take too long, indicating no sense of urgency, and by then precious time would have elapsed! Today, the passes were quick and more decisive. For example they went for a quick 2 pt shot then 2 quick 3 pt shots on ensuing plays! ( we'll see if this trend with being more decisive continues)
I have to say the game was very engaging. Won by 5 pts! They have managed to find ways to tighten the defense while maintainig a "free flowing" game on offense. The fg %s are realistic and the games are still quite challenging. This game was played in exhibition mode. I recall that season or career games are even more challenging. Really impressed with what I'm experiencing with this game!
