Dude, just keep playing, practing, and run some plays you will figure it out trust me. I was like this at first to when I first played the ID series but now I play some close games and some blow outs for me and the computer. Now its my favorite NBA series just give it a chance. I just hope next year they improve the graphics, add tons more animations and improve the franchise mode and it would not only be the best b-ball sim(already is), but it would be the best game period.

This game is making me miss Live 2004 so bad.

The CPU gets all the O rebounds in Drive. (For me anyway).....irony since Live has no OR.

I miss the two button shot control as if I take one more 2 foot jump shot (that gets blocked) instead of a layup/tear drop/dunk, I think I'm going to toss the controller through the TV. Why doesn't it default to some kind of lay up within 3-4 feet? Thosr little 2' jumpers are ridiculous. What am I doing wrong?

Playing on Veteran I am 1-8...I suck.

I can not get open, I can't stop a drive. Once that animation starts of the guy deciding to dunk, it's as if there is no way in hell anyone can stop it. In Live I was able to recover and cause an off balance shot or a block from behind.

The CPU steals from me all the time....I have to drop back to Rookie before I toss my cat out the window for bothering me while I'm getting my butt kicked.

I guess I'm an arcade type player and do not understand the nuances necessary to score and control a game.
I can barely keep it close.
And these hot and cold streaks are killing me.
I have spent practice time with the post moves and the shooting also.

Sorry to rant but this is supposed to be fun and I haven't figured out how to make that happen yet.

I'm not saying I want to win but I just don't want to be humiliated anymore.

The GS reviewer was smoking something when he said this game was too easy.

I can not stop playing though because I am determined to get better and find a sweet spot where I understand what's going on out there.

Someone please tell me there is a sweet spot.

Re: I\'m getting frustrated (I suck)

I played a ton of ID 03 last year, and have yet to win a game this year!! I knocked down the 2 point slider down one for me and comp, and I cant sem to hit any J's!!!! O well, gotta practice. I think it was like this for me a while last year, then I hit my stride and started playing good. AT least im not winning every game.

Which teams are you guys using? You have to remember, the game actually has about 10 "extra" levels of difficulty. ie, there's controlling Dallas and LA difficulty...and controlling the Cavs and Magic type difficulty. Poor shooting teams are really hard to use IMO. You really have to play almost exactly to those teams strenghts to win.

You are right Klocks...I don't know WTF the reviewer was smoking saying it's too easy and you can shoot 80%.

Unless he was using LA on rookie level...
