I just wanted to say that the Suns are damn near impossible to beat. The beautiful thing is its not a cheesy way. Nash and Marion and Nash and Stoudamire are pick and rolling me to death. I cant stop it. If I double Nash, Marion pops out and shoots a jumper or rolls and dunks on me. If I double Marion or Stoudamire, Nash shoots the open jumper. I swear to god its just like real life.

Do they fast break though? I keep reading that there isn't much of a fast break game and that upsets me.

Yes the Suns are TOUGH. I barely beat them on all-star with the Lakers. 1 of the best games I've ever played in a sports videogame period. Funny thing is I've been saying this with almost every game I've played so far in NBA 2K8. The AI is amazing IMO. I never feel cheated, just out played.

Depends on what you mean. For example, most breaks are caused by turnovers and at default there are few turnovers in the game. As a result, none of the teams get fast break oppurtunities. Once you turn up the steal and steal success sliders, you see more turnovers and more fast breaks.

If you mean does Phoenix push the ball up the floor and look to score quick, then the answer is yes. I would say 60% of the time, Nash is sprinting up the floor when the Suns get possiesion. Also, the Suns (unlike the slower teams like the Magic or the Jazz) usually get a shot up within the first 14 seconds of the shot clock. Its ver realistic.
