I play with anyone, usually hornets or suns. I'm just lookin for good games for a full game.. I feel some people play realistic for the first 5 mins and the rest of the game is bull****.

It creates a little balance issue. If fatigue really mattered, it wouldn't be an issue at all. But if you play mostly on ball, you control defensive pressure.

People that "set it and forget" are ones that I avoid - They're not doing this to force turnovers or anything, they're just doing it because it benefits them with no real detriment.

I say it's fine to set your defensive pressure high. It will cause more fouls and more blow-bys for easy layups and dunks. The user should be skilled enough to take advantage of those types who set their pressure high. I'm not saying I'm the highest skilled user out there, far from it, but if someone sets their pressure that high I'm going to look to attack the rim and draw fouls on them. If they set help defense high then I'll look to drive and dish to open shooters. I may bring in my best 3 point shooters and play them out of position just to get an advantage on the offensive end. It's all about the back and forth of different strategies playing out on the court.

I say, if it's in the game, you should be able to use it to your advantage. It's up to the other user to change their game and adapt to your settings, and if they don't, you win. If they do adapt, you either try something else or you lose. The game seems to be balanced well enough that there is a counter for every move you can make. It's just up to you to find that counter and exploit it as much as possible. But as long as the action on the court still replicates what a real team would do somewhat, then by all means go for it.

The problem with this with defensive pressure on 100 you get average players to be defensive superstars, because most people that set it that high are not playing on ball defense, so you are letting the cpu play world class defense while you camp in the passing lanes, what this forces you to do is to become a iso motion superstar which really makes the game boring, i want to run a offense not iso motion to the hoop all game.

This game is very fun when players play sim or close to it. The problem is I've only seen it once. What makes me so good I feel is that I can play both ways. If u keep it sim I will to but if u start cheesing tactics I will murder u at your own game. But I would rather play sim. I jus refuse to lose to a cheeser!
