Yeah, it looks like your mornings & afternoons line up with good times to play during the day here.
Also, After losing a few myLeague games, I have a couple of questions on just basic things about the game that frustrated me and if there's something that can be done about it.
1. A lot of times on fast breaks or when I get past the defender, I have an open lane for a dunk and with turbo R2 held I go and try to dunk but it doesn't even attempt a layup, it either does nothing or pump fakes a lot of times. the pump fakes allow the defender to recover and then I wind up missing the layup.Maybe I'm used to Live but is there a surefire way to attempt more layups and dunks?
2. In Live I always pride myself on playing PG or playing defense against whoever has the ball but I have found that many times the defender simply stops moving (especially when holding L2) or gets turned around and the ballhandler gets an easy blow by for a layup or dunk. Also, when picks get set up, I don't even run into the screen but there's so much confusion between me and the cpu teammate that it often ends up in an easy basket for the offense. Any tips for on-ball defense?
3. I got burned by players that were very 3 point happy and they put it up with any kind of space they had. I eventually found the "no 3 pointers" setting which helped, but is there a way to bother these shots that go up? Should I hold up on the stick to contest or triangle to swat at it?
4. I'm having a hard time hitting jump shots. Is there a setting to make the meter bigger or do I just need to practice? The problem is that some players have a hitch in their shot animation or they don't shoot right away so it throws my timing way off. What can I do?
