Foul Discrepancy

[baseballguy]

When playing on All-Star, the CPU us getting waaay more fouls than me for some reason, and I drive the ball into the paint, with contact, on a fair share of possessions.

Did this happen as a result of the patch, and is there a way around this? I'm in the fourth quarter against Detroit and with 10 minutes to go, they've shot 20 free throws and I've shot none.

Re: Foul Discrepancy

I've been asking myself the same question I just cant seem to draw any fouls. On the other if the CPU steps foot in the paint its a foul Lol.

I would like to get some tips on this also

Re: Foul Discrepancy

Yeah, it's definitely more comprehensible on Pro than on AllStar. The layup collision patch might fix it a bit, however you do feel the AI just draws fouls way easier, whereas it's almost impossible to draw fouls by yourself...

Re: Foul Discrepancy

It's a huge problem.

I just finished a game with the Thunder vs. Detroit. I don't know how I won the game 115-105 with barely any free throw attempts. On All-Star, with 12 minute quarters, I shot 10 free throws, 8 of which were as a result of intentional fouls in the final minute of a close game. Detroit shot 27 free throws! C'mon now! I'm basically forced to shoot nothing but jump shots because I know every time I drive inside, and there's contact, no foul will be called.

Same thing happens to me I can still win games but the fact that I haven't been able to get to the line just bugs me.

Re: Foul Discrepancy

i've turned up fouls in my sliders to right around where 3/4 would be if you were to break up the slider into fourths and usually shoot around 20-30 foul shots a game, but it varies quite a bit, one game will be 30 and the next would be 17. ive noticed the cpu gets a lot of the foul calls early, then if you attack the basket a little more later in the game, they tend to start calling them on your behalf, but its usually different every game.

There's a layup collision patch coming?

Re: Foul Discrepancy

This one thing that really bothers me about the game. It just seems like the cpu will get a foul called anytime they want. And when I do the same thing I get a no-call.

So true, So true. It's amazing how the cpu gets all the calls and the exact same scenario can be for the human player and no call. Grant it I do get to the line roughly 15-20 times a game. Peace!!!

I can't even come close to 15-20 free throws per game.

Re: Foul Discrepancy

I don't know what to say I usually shoot the same amount as the cpu.

Re: Foul Discrepancy

one thing I've found helpful is to start all of my drives no later than the foul line. if I can change the defender's angle just a bit when I'm a step inside the arc, I drive hard to even a small opening and start my layup at the foul line or a step outside, and then adjust away from the challenge.

it doesn't work every time, but I get a lot of fouls, especially in transition, and haven't had one of those games in a week or so where the CPU doubles me up on FT attempts (I'm usually even or up a few for the game).

this is PS3, no patch.

Re: Foul Discrepancy

I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Re: Foul Discrepancy

Was having the same problem, I found out that unless you start way outside the paint the layups using turbo button don't draw fouls well. However if you do the layups that don't use turbo the calls are a lot more liberal. In other words it seems the layup solutions make you less likely to get the foul while standard left and right hand layups draw them like crazy. I still occasionally turbo into the paint but I don't use it to do layups. It also seems to go in at a higher clip without turbo.

Well it was said it's included in the patch

- Fix for shooting fouls not properly getting called on collision layups. This will yield more realistic free throw attempts for both the user and CPU.
