Re: Catch-up AI still exists....

HA! EA must be giving the CPU players experimental vitamins! That must be the reason why a 70 Speed Leandro Barbossa was able to beat 88 Speed rated Jay-Wil on a fastbreak never minding that Jay-Wil had an almost HALF-COURT lead. Whatever those vitamins are EA, I WANT 'EM!

Re: Catch-up AI still exists....

I think the Pistons hold a record for most wins by more than 15 points. I'm not sure about it, but we had our share of blowuts.

Lakers - 87 75
Lakers - 88 68
Lakers - 100 87
Pacers - 83 65
Nets - 90 69
Nets - 95 80
Bucks 91 77
Bucks - 109 92
Bucks - 108 82
Magic - 102 86
Pacers - 79 61
Knicks - 100 85
Cavaliers - 96 76
Nuggets - 94 75
Nets 89-71
Sixers 85-69
Bulls 98-65 <---DAM!
SuperSonics - 86-65
Nuggets - 97-66
Trail Blazers - 83-68
Clippers - 100-88
Hawks - 105-83
Bulls - 107-88
Spurs - 85-77
Wizards - 98-77
Mavericks - 115-102
Rockets - 85-66
Jazz - 96-75
Heat - 87-73

The games that are in bold are games won by 15 or more points. 21? I might have missed a few, but you can check it.

Who said blowouts were rare? The Pistons owned almost everyone who stepped up to them.

If you want to beat the CPU's catch up AI, you have to control the clock and make defensive assignments late in the game. Put your best shot blockers on the perimiter threats and play zone defense to help make up for the lack of speed your assignments make. You might be able to cut off passing lanes as well.

Beat the CPU at their own game.... They might be able to drain contested shots, but if you don't allow them to shoot the ball, there's nothing to worry about.

Let me repeat that damned phrase: "If you get in the 4th with a 10 point lead YOU'RE DEAD MEAT " So true, I was controlling the game most of the time then Sam I Am Cassell suddenly drops 25 points on the 4th for a total of 45 points and I keep getting fouls (even though I'm using Pared's current sliders) Nice SIMULATION of basketball EA

Re: Catch-up AI still exists....

you guys are nuts. all you have to do is play defense and call timeouts when they go on a little run. I just beat Detroit by over 20 points with Indiana.

Chill! You have to learn to keep playing the game hard till' the end because the CPU will give it there all in trying to comeback. You can also come back on the CPU to. In my most recent game I was down to the Nuggets by 18 at half time and won the game by 4.
