The CPU comes down and repeatedly cranks up 3's on the break, without any inclination to drive to the hoop. You still can't defend shooters coming off screens, no matter how hard
you try to defend them, they'll make the shot 99.9% of the time. The help defense is broken, too many forays to the hoop by the CPU, with no weak side help . Especially the CPU throwing the ball up court, for a cherry pick basket after you've scored, with the defense no where in sight. This happens at least 2-4 times a game. The CPU always has the advantage when it comes to shot makes. Theirs are more likely to go in than yours. I can't count the number of times, I've had a shot or layup, pop out at the last minute, while the CPU's always seem to go in. These are just a few gripes I see, I'm sure there's more... Maybe a patch or sliders can correct some of them. I realize all games aren't perfect, but this game is damn close to being that, if they clean up some of these things.
Just something I've noticed.
When you play on default hall of fame, the sliders give the CPU a boost. They have higher ratings in everything, and yours are lower. This makes for a frustrating experience sometimes because you will miss a good shot with a good shooter, and they will bury a contested shot with a not as good shooter. I messed around with it, I started on HOF sliders but brought everything to 50 for both USER and CPU (With the exception of OFF REB, I made it 40 on both because the off rebounding is a little out of control in this game). I found that after this adjustment, it played more like a real game.
The breakdowns (CPU throwing up the court and getting easy baskets) has been around for so long. I wish they could find a way to fix this.
