Pared's pro sliders are,indeed, a gift.

I figured out the on ball D on my own.

Nothing that a little study of the ratings couldnt cure.

haha i know i know. on a whole though, the D is better because of the tipped passes. it's harder to just throw the ball in the paint and across the court and that's a huge plus.

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it works for you then just stick with it. I personally don't see any difference.

yeah definitely keep doing whatever works for you or you think is working. i wasn't knocking on you, i just remember that other thread with a whole bunch of questionable information and then the OP mysteriously disappearing lol

there could have also been some small fixes that 2k doesn't publicly release or confirm that are happening too like more effective help D logic, or stronger on ball D, etc.

Game is visual eye candy. The presentation is terrific. Really holds my attention.

I let all of the cut scenes play out, just because I love looking at it so much.

*I don't have the game yet*

How does the CPU AI handle the ball offensively? How often do they shoot, can you play 12 minutes and not get 90-105 FGA? Do they pass it around and generally make good decisions?

On the lower levels: Pro and All Star, you can with some slider tweaks.

Anything above that, and the CPU starts becoming a circus: Gunning shots, alley oop throwing in traffic, and lots of nonsense.

I think the game does a good job in this area (with the right sliders). I use 12 minute-quarters in my Bulls franchise (check the sig) and typically the FGA for each team is in the 70-80 range.

I'm just incapable of doing this. I have tried both pro and allstar and I just can't keep the CPU from scoring fairly quickly. I've fiddled with Sliders, mostly branching off of Pared's, but I even tried playmakers (uggh, guys were tired in 3 minutes and it was a turnover and clank fast, just ugly basketball, not my thing) and I still struggle to stop the CPU. They consistently find players under the rim for easy baskets. I have trouble stopping the ballhandler and if I play off ball it seems my AI guys lose track of their man on cuts. As a result of them scoring so many baskets, I end up playing fast too, so I can catch up or stay ahead. I have no confidence in my or my teammates ability to get a stop, so my strategy is to have as many possessions as possible to keep my offense up as well. I see people talking about having sliders for the CPU shooting (and the user) as low as 42 and I just don't enjoy that. I want to stop the CPU because I played good defense, not because the sliders are lowered enough that they just miss shots. Open shots should generally be knocked down, by both user and CPU. That's the philosophy I go by with the sliders and level I play on. I've tried messing around with defensive assist, that right stick stuff, defensive awareness, help defense, etc. but in the end the CPU is going to drop between 105-120 points on me every game. I lead the league in scoring at 111 ppg but my defense gives up 107, and that's with 3 or 4 simmed games that were 85-80 type games. So I'm at a loss. I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that for whatever reason I'm just not good at defense. Maybe it is the reflexes in getting older (36), but it is really frustrating. I'll even have quarters where I stop the CPU (usually the 1st) and they may only get 10 or 15, but inevitably they will later have a quarter where they drop 40 on me.

Is it me or do plays break off almost immediately after they are called with the second patch?

Plays have been working fine for me second patch.

Really odd...before patch 2 I was able to call a play and not have to be right on the circle for it start and they would occasionally break off. Now I have to be exactly on the circle to start and they almost always break off.
