huh? the tools are already there and have been for years...you simply move the left stick to the right and player will shift the ball to his right hand. this control has been in the game for years.

Now that I have seen some other team ratings, here are the teams by order of overall defensive: 1 - Spurs 2 - Bulls 3 - ?? 4 - Cavs** 5 - Clippers 6 - Grizzlies 7 - Miami 8 - Thunder Does anyone else get the sense that the CAVS are gassed? Offense I can somewhat understand...on paper, they may have the most offensive talent, though I'd argue that the SPURS(#2 OFF) should be the number 1 offense in the game. But defense #4?? (*=good defender) Irving/Waiters/*James/Love/Varejao/*Marion/Miller/Thompson/*Dellavedova/Haywood/Lucas/Thomas Besides the *'s, the CAVS have poor on the ball defenders, poor pick and roll defenders and some of the worst defenders at the rim. They also have an unproven coach and no inherent chemistry. But yet this qualifies them to exceed the Clippers, Grizzlies, Heat, Thunder, Warriors?(might be #3), Wizards and Bobcats, all of whom are the proven top defensive teams? Beds, if you see this please take another thorough look at this. We already know that CAVS will be the cheesers choice; at least let them be rated reasonably consistent with their characteristics and with other teams.

SMH. Warriors were 3rd to 4th in defense last year, had a defensive first team member in Iggy, upgraded their defensive personnel, AND got one of the best defensive assistant coaches in Ron Adams. And they don't even make the list.

Instead the Cavs get their place by acquiring someone whose defense is harped on, and another player who was cruising on defense all last season. :P It's like Barkley made these rankings.

I can hope the Warriors are 3, but it's probably Indy or something.

Nice to see That Kyrie pull up at 4:30 . Hopefully we'll See James Harden Step back from the A.I


Player movement looks improved a lot from 14

The only thing I didnt like was how Lebron handled getting screened, he got spun around on one that ended in a dunk, and went under another leaving the ball handler open for a 3, Lebron looked like a sorry defender. I hope he played like that because it was on Pro.

There would be too many loose balls and the game would not be fun if you had to watch your every dribble move.

It's kind of pointless if the crowd intensity doesn't change. Especially when LeBron gets announced

Right but to be able to control the precise angle of the ball just isn't something that's possible. The game could also use smarter dribble targeting on the left-handed dribble in this particular situation, but doesn't. To me it's not really a big deal either way.

Agreed. Fortunately, we can take these ratings with a grain of salt since rebounding is included. Next year, perhaps the Team ratings should be expanded where rebounding is its own category.
