The turnovers are a bit ridiculous

Also, i´m not impressed by the spacing in most Pick and Roll plays. Some are good, but most really don´t space the court well. Also, the big man almost never commits to the ballhandler and the screened player recovers very, very fast. Also, the CPU doesn´t run very many Pick and Rolls, do they ? This is with more or less default sliders (on ball D lower, passing ability higher and defensive awareness lower along with a few minot changes for the shooting percentages) I don´t expect to be able to run it all the time, but a couple clean P&Rs a game would be kind of nice. There´s very little "miscommunication" on defense in the middle where guys miss their assignement or get moved out of position during the P&R.

Absolutely, I use the Spurs and run a good 10-15 pick and rolls per game. Duncan does a great job rolling to the basket. I've had no passes picked off in that situation. When I do run into trouble it's with indecision between taking it to the hope with Tony or Manu or throwing it to Timmy for the spot up or roll to the basket.

This is a situation where Icon passing is 100% required though. Right before I approach the pick I hit RB to bring up the icons and have my finger on the Y button ready to pass, then treat the play like a normal pick (not a pick and roll), if my guard is stopped it's just a matter of waiting for the instant Duncan rolls to the basket.

I call plays on 90% of my possessions and absolutely LOVE every minute of it.

Basically testing the game out. But I know they are bad passes when I throw them. No complaints from me about turnovers.

Same here, I am loving the passing scheme this year. This is 1 thing 2k did a great job on.

When you play on All-Star and above you start to seem some ridiculous things happen. Its been said time and time again but the AI speed and intelligence boosts the CPU gets versus user teammates AI are almost laughable. Especially so on HOF.
