I guess, now that you suggested it and if I was picking I would choose that too, but I don't consider the other option to be that bad a choice either.

That's fair enough. Considering most of us won't play below All-Star, it's a non-issue. I understand they're marketing for all the kids to go "oooh!" but sadly this is all I have to go on. If players at least acknowledge what is going on and don't just stand there on the lower difficulties it wouldn't look so bad.

He didn't point out ANY help defense in his impressions. Neither good or bad.. the player to player D looks to be improved this year. Has that ever been mentioned (by me)? No, because most players in the NBA can't get by their man. We're bringing back an old conversation we had about this last year. As long as the defense has a way to stop the guy in the perimeter, great. Seems like the Post D could benefit more from that as well.

I'm not trying to vilify the guy, so spare it. I love the eye for detail and his enthusiasm in the other areas of the game that needed it. Asking loaded questions to paint an answer I have into a corner is ridiculous, however.
