Changing user behaviour is what game design is all about. Users will only do what works best.

If the other guy just wants to run wild, not running plays, and jacking shots then this is enough to win for me. I take my time on offense and take smart shots and push when I have numbers. So you pretty much just have to attempt to take away their strengths. Most time it works. I think my online record is around 40-15

Dont the P.O.E off set those defense settings? or do you have to put it on neutral... for your P.O.E?

Sure we can play, but you can teach me anything that I don't know. My psn is the same as my OS name.

If your playing good offensive teams like the Rockets,cavs,portland,clippers,warriors ect. You have to be able to match up to have a good chance of winning,you cant just pick a team with horrible defenders and beat someone good with a good offensive team at a good % no matter what the game plan. If you only wanna play with bad to mediocre teams try picking one that has good wing defenders like the Celt,nuggets,pelicans,pistons,suns,toranto ect. Or your gonna have to dbl superstars a lot. If your dead set on only playing with one team you really like you just have to find a gameplan that will work but its gonna be tough if there not that good on defense with playing tough teams.

See this is the problem because I should be able to beat anyone no matter what team I use. Players are still successful just running around without running plays.

I basically double team to DEATH.....that's how i win my online games. You have to know what you're doing though. The problem is lagging...it is so laggy that sometimes it is hard to box out and rebound even though you have inside position.

I think you need to practice more. When I come up against guys using OKC or Cavs and they're not running plays I tend to blow them out by 30 or 40 points (using memphis or GS)

This game is unbelievably catered towards smart basketball heads this year.

Haven't even played the cavs or thunder. And I'm sure I don't need practice. I can play with the best. Lag and offball defense hurt ne the most.

Let's get a game and see if I need practice, you'll probably just spam curry.
