Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - Doubling the ball-handler on screens

I've noticed that whenever I initiate a pick from one of my big men, whether it's a straight screen or pick-and-roll, the computer almost always doubles my ball-handler. They just leave their man completely, oftentimes leading to an easy dunk or alley-oop finish for the screener. It's especially bad on Rondo's 15 pin option play. Perkins/Shaq/J. O'neal sets a screen near the baseline, I go around it, get doubled, the C sprints free to the basket. I try to not call it too much to avoid having a "money play".

It's a bit frustrating. It'd be a bit more fun if occasionally a screen would actually let my PG get into the paint, you know? I still have a blast playing, and this is really my only problem (if you can call it that) with the game.

Noticed this on both pro and all-star difficulty. Anyone else take issue with this? Or is this the way it should be and I'm griping over nothing?
