Re-post from other thread :
Finished my first game and I got worked!! I tried to keep it "sim" and got ran out of the gym.
Quick hits (I didn't play the demo)
I was chicago against new York. I played on 12minute quarters real % on both shooting and free throws
•rebounding is tough, I was stubborn until the third quarter and didn't get rebounds until I started boxing out.
•Commentary is nice! Kerr talked about his GM days and how he interviewed and wished he hired Tibs from Chicago.
•Presentation is smooth with several camera angles throughout game. Even saw a Knicks intro with Stat running like his name was announced through a tunnel of teammates.
•Play-calling is different on the Dpad and will take some getting use too.
- one quick "little" thing, Korver stumbled coming from an "off-ball" screen from contact of another player and completely ruined my play
I lost the game bad! it was 23-25 after one quarter and it hit the fan in the 2nd. Rose struggled, and Noah got in early foul trouble so I was killed on the boards. It's like the computer was targeting whoever I was controlling on defense. It was embarrassingly obvious that they knew I couldn't "d" up yet. I couldn't play Korver at all bc they would call off ball screens (this year they really don't fight through screens they rather switch assignment) and iso melo on the block. I didn't get to the freethrow line until late and it honestly felt like the refs were just trying to even out the calls lol.
The game puts a big emphasis on stars but the role players are huge especially on the boards.
