That said, the pick and roll is hugely important, and I think we should want it to be modeled accurately even if we've weaned ourselves off from it for certain reasons. Sim guys cannot just personally not care about what's core basketball. Heh.
Thanks Sundown. And I care, but I don't care to an extent. I play strictly online and I got abuse by this play over the first month. And guys ran this play 30xs a game. So not seeing it for awhile is GREAT for me. Over the last few weeks I truly found a fix to stop it and got steals 75% of the time. As u mentioned, the defensive A.I. was horrendous, so I had to manually hold them back to stay in position to defend the roll. And when timed right, they got the steal.

The way 2k addressed this in the patch I do not agree with. My concern with video games devs in general is instead of a true fix, they fix it in a unnatural manner that creates another problem. Like how fixing the zig zag cheese effected realistic basic shots off the dribble.

But far as pick n roll, when the user calls a play, the game should reflect that. Not stall the roll or not roll at all like the player is dumb and forgot his responsibility. I think 2k should have addressed this by improving the defensive A.I. and soft hedge logic.
