I only played one game online, but from what I remember, there wasn't any added physicality or anything. It sure would have been nice, though. A cheeser can still take the Miami Heat and run around with Lebron James all day with little consequence. While there aren't many contact animations in the hole, it is harder to finish when driving in heavy traffic. The strategy I used defensively against the cheeser I played was to pack the paint and force him into tough shots. This left me vulnerable to jumpers, but the cheeser was too stupid to take advantage. He had a 20 point lead on me at the half. I employed the strategy I just mentioned in the second half, and came back in the fourth. He quit was I was up by like 7 or so with a minute and some change left.
Also, the on-ball defense animations are the same. It's disappointing actually. I wish there was some way for them to add the hip riding animation.
