    Kind of bumping my question again since it hasn't been addressed (and I have something new I'd like to ask with it). Can assistant coaches become head coaches, can retired players become coaches, and do head coaches retire when their contract is up again (Sloan, Karl, Adelman, and Jackson seemed to always retire because of contract length in my previous association experiences). I'd like to know since coaches have always been my gripe with association...

      I have only simmed one season so far, and Miami went 61-21 and won the NBA Championship, and LeBron won the MVP.

          scoring in the paint is difficult this year . i love it, it makes the mid range game much more useful.

            One thing that I've noticed is that unless you call a play, your players don't seem to move very much on the offensive end. Is anyone else with the game seeing this as well?

              I set play calling to automatic so that there is always a play called...but if the play breaks down, you're screwed from what I've seen. I picked up my dribble near the free throw line and was closely guarded (that goes without saying, the defense is smothering) and just sat there for literally 8 seconds and not one of my teammates moved an inch. They all stood near the blocks down low and did nothing. That is extremely frustrating. The offensive AI of your teammates is just flat out dumb most of the time. If I try to throw a pass to a teammate who is barely moving and angled slightly towards the passer, the pass ends up leading the receiver to stand RIGHT BESIDE ME. Like WTF, lead the receiver anywhere but 6 inches away from me, please. Then the passer just stands there and doesn't get out of the way causing a major traffic jam.

              Basically my biggest problem with the game at this point.

                One thing that bothered me last year but wasn't too big of a deal was the play calling in My Player mode. Do you still need the ball in your player's hands to initiate the play calling?

                EDIT: Sorry, I see this was answered

                    oh and one last question concerning blocks:
                    is lebron's chasedown block in the game? and are the get-outta-here blocks more frequent when playing with dwight howard or josh smith, or is it strictly situation appropriate and everyone does it evenly?

                        I can't answer this fully yet, but I haven't seen any guys that aren't big shot blockers firing balls out of bounds or anything like that. I have played quite a few games and haven't seen a ton of monster swats, so when they happen it's that much cooler. So far, the coolest block I've seen is from Shawn Kemp, and he actually caught/palmed the ball instead of swatting it. It was sweet.

                          Do players who have no business shooting 3s still shoot them when left alone? i.e. Dwight Howard, Andrew Bogut etc...I think Howard shot about 150 3s a season in my association last time, and seemed to jack up 1 or 2 every game i played against them

                            I would like to know this too.
                            When the game is on the line, winners want the ball.

                                I've probably played 30 or so games and have yet to see anything like that. I've been nothing but impressed with the CPU AI so far, and I haven't touched the sliders.
