The level of Cheese by the CPU is rediculus

[SouthBeach]

This happens to me during every game.

I'm a pretty safe player. I don't go for the homerun plays unless I'm up by a large margin. So I tend to play smart for the duration of the game. My style of play DOES change at times, but not to the point of making stupid passes or taking bad shots.

Even with adjusted sliders, I still experience the come-from-behind hidden attribute only the CPU possesses.

On the defensive end, I would be in the paint holding my hands up without jumping (because if you jump in real life, you're likely to get called for a foul)...and guess what. I get called for a foul - only in the fourth quarter though. I mean, that's when it's happened. (Could be that I play more safe in the 4th quarter to avoid silly fouls.)

All in all, I like my difficulty settings and I'm still adjusting sliders a bit.

I don't see this being too much of a problem once the patch comes out though. So we'll see in a couple weeks.

I agree I can't even begin to count all the close games I lost because of the rubber band A.I it's predictable and annoying

The computer plays some truly moronic, annoying offense at times, but the only instance where I call shenanigans is on screens. How come when I'm getting screened, I always stick like glue to the cpu's screener, yet when I'm on offense, the cpu defender just slides around my screener like his not even there?

The thing that really leads to combacks are fouls and rebounds. All boards go to the cpu even if they take terrible shots.

And the fouls are probably the most frustrating. In the paint expecially, if you jump they get a layup or foul, if you dont jump (hands up even) its still a foul and easy 2 points. Nothing you can do, only to wish you dont miss shots on the other end

Yeah, this game is at a point where you can't play solid defense and win. You have to win by trying to outscore the other team. The CPU will practically assault you in the paint, and you're lucky if you get the call. You get all ball on the CPU and somehow still get whistled for the foul. As it stands now, the game is totally unbalanced and playing smart, solid basketball isn't as sound a strategy as one would think.

When the cpu turns the cheese on, your players start losing the ball a lot more too. Even guys who should have great ball handling skills will bounce the ball off their own foot or lose it as they go up for a jumper. Insanity.

Just lost a online association game after a 15-0 comeback because Stuckey kept doing isomotions until he got 5 feet from the basket (even though TWO people where in front of him) then he proceeded to do a fade away contested shot on a taller defender (roy Hibbert i believe) and put his team up 1.This wouldn't be so bad if on the last play Manu hadn't been blocked by a defender who was moving AWAY from the paint and not looking at him. How is someone supposed to block a shot they can't see coming? Isn't manu a good finisher? How can i only make 4 lay ups a game but the pc makes 10-15? It magically gets past my guys without even trying and the help defense just jumps away from the guy and he makes a easy lay-up.Yet on the rare few chances that i leave my defender behind the AI magically sticks to me in mid air and knocks me down but..no foul.I thought contact in mid air while going for a lay-up was a foul...or is there some exception i don't know about? And NO i didn't run into the defense he ran into ME. I think maybe they should wait a year in between game releases. I'd rather wait and get a good game then some hastily made crap that adds new features but fails to fix the past ones.Not to mention the idiotic mistakes the new features have. Training mode in which i have to do the WHOLE training to get to the one thing i want to work on? c'mon 2k.Maybe next year you release a REAL demo and let us give you REAL feedback? hmm? Maybe?

I think I can handle it most times where i know that the CPU is trying to come back. I had a recent game where i thought i was going to smash my controller.

I was playing Boston and i had Pierce in check the entire game and all of a sudden he goes off for 15 straight points. i sat in utter disblief as I got to overtime and i managed to fumble away the game after he hit a 3 pt shot with me right on top of him.

Im starting to wonder if is certain plaers because i played the Thunder and i did the same thing and Westbrook started doing spins and layups all the 2nd half, after being shut out the 1st half.

I have no idea if this can be changed but it makes it sort of unplayable unless you just crush the team before the 2nd half.
