Nah i disagree, its whoever play the game. i play it as i watch an NBA game i dont speed spam, dribble a lot, i used playbooks and look for the open man. if im off ball i try to get open.
see the problem with most people in that mode is they just want to win with unrealistic way of doing it. thats fun to them but not me i want to play it the way i see NBA players do.
there is no "inferior" in playing its on you if your bad or good in that game.
