For the first time I felt a difference. It felt like the Spurs. A lot of screens, pic n rolls. Felt good to get a better experience than the last few days.

As I mentioned earlier I put this game on Craigslist last night but now I'm starting to have 2nd thoughts after playing 2 games this morning. Reading Playmakers thread and going back over some of the impressions that have been posted has me reconsidering. Im off work today so I'm gonna get in several more games and see what I think/feel at that point. I'm just tired of being burned with EA with the last being Rory PGA

Glad to hear. I had some convo's over the weekend. The guys are putting in the time and feedback is definitely being listened to.

I look forward to seeing what you think after while. That's the type of games that I was having. Quick ball movement, using some crazy nice touch passes, etc.

Don't know how Pop is going to use LMA yet, but I'd bet the farm this number will be rising with him on the team...

Those elbow shots are definitely going to go up, that's for sure. I think that's a place Live ignores. Teams shoot a bunch of shots from the elbows.

I witnessed kevin durant take 8 mid range shots by himself for okc late lastnight.

The problem was he seemed to be the only guy on thunder taking those shots.

I've began to experiment with dunk frequency at 0 and set all perimeter defenders to high pressure

My next step is to figure out this jostle vs blow by slider it is huge this year for perimeter defense and could be used as a tool impede drivers and force more mid range shots if they can't get all the way to the rack

There's also some plays that seem to favor shots coming from the mid range area if we could customize and save playbooks for the cpu that might also help with shot distribution

Why is all star difficulty harder than superstar? Last year had the same issue...all star actually plays a pretty good game of basketball while superstar difficulty is horrible.

Last year I observed that the higher the difficulty the more competent your cpu teammates became. Basically it allowed for more effective assistance from cpu teammates (e.g., rebounding, blocking, stealing) in these modes, especially Superstar. Not sure if it's the same this year.

The paint defense in this game needs to be the #1 priority going forward....I don't feel like the physics system in place actually governs any outcomes. It makes for some cool replays with arms interlocking and body reactions.....but it feels like a crapshoot trying to defend the paint. So much whiffed contact and disregard for positioning.

Bogut/ Adams/ Gortat euro stepping into the lane and actually converting buckets is frustrating

When does Ea access release their games? Wednesday night or Thursday?

# 571 pdawg17 @ 09/22/15 11:15 AM

Will "Day 1" patch be available when EA Access starts?

I really hope so as if the point is to give people a full experience for 10 hours hoping to hook people it would make sense to have the best playing game possible...

User vs cpu

But i play defense similiar to coach mode because i don't switch players which might explain why i see some of those midrange shots.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with this day one patch

So I see my 5-9, 180 pound pg is like a needle in a haystack in pro-am.....lol.

# 580 The 24th Letter @ 09/23/15 07:45 AM

It's weird that I never see anyone else rated 80 online. Do you guys? I'm currently at 80 with my post scoring center.

I have to say man, Pro Am made me late this morning...you find the right group of guys and it is a LOT of fun.
