I agree. It's asinine that they would even put that sort of option in there in my opinion. At least call it out for CPU versus HUMAN.

If I'm not mistaken it was like this in NBA live 10.

I liked some of the things it was trying to do. Like I would put the difficulty higher for home games than away.

But... when the Synergy is working like it should, the game plays a really good game. I played the game the other night after Jermaine Oneal went off in real life, and they were feeding him for little post fadeaways. It wasn't a signature style Jermaine fadeaway like I would have liked it to be, but it was in the right spot, and they were going to him. This was with the 2nd unit being in there. Otherwise, Curry & Klay were taking the shots, and eating me alive. Curry was taking me off the dribble like he was eating my Pacers alive the other night. Granted, there are some games that I look around and wonder where this type of gameplay is. If they can really nail it down though, this game will eventually evolve into something good I believe. Do you have the demo or full version PP?

Just now seeing this but I have the full version though.

From the videos and the demo and countless impressions and full game videos on youtube etc, I am yet to see the CPU run a single fast break except on steals. I have never seen them grab a defensive rebound and hare off up court, run a 3 on 1 or 2 on 1 and finish strong. It seems EVERY time is CPU PG walks it up, waits for a screen or passes to the post. I agree with people's views on the pick and roll game, but NBA basketball NEEDS fast breaking to be realistic. Especially the modern NBA, where some teams run, run, run and run some more (Philly, Phoenix etc). Does the lack of a fastbreak game not bother you? If you are seeing some teams run, run and run, could you post some vids? thanks in advance

lol. look at my nba live 14 wishlist. my biggest problem was with the fastbreaks in live 10 and nothing has changed 4 years later. as a guy who likes to push the tempo it frustrates me very much.

Win or lose, I never feel like I'm getting cheated or cheesed by the CPU. Games don't feel scripted. But man, they really need to tone down blocks.

game gets better the more i play. they seriously need to do fix the block shots because they do not look good at all. the block dunks feel realistic tho

Its possible a little more in the other game off of defensive rebounds but it should happen at a higher rate in both. Of course things may differ with teams, difficulty, and play style. In both games fast break from turnovers are easy points. Outside of that teams tend to get back quickly. Sent from my M353 using Tapatalk

I actually love the fastbreaks in the other game and that is one of the two reasons I bought the other game four years in a row. just really hated when I constantly saw 7 footers leading the break lol

I had been playing with auto subs on because I was just playing a bunch of quick games and trying out different teams. When I was doing that, the CPU subbed guys in and out just fine. Last night I wanted to get into Dynasty a little bit, so I was playing 12-minute quarters with auto subs off. When I did that, I noticed that the CPU Pistons didn't make a sub for the entire 1st half. So, I'm guessing that the workaround would be that I would need to turn auto subs on for the CPU depending on if they are the home or away team before each game. I'm thinking this should be possible, but I will try it out tonight just to make sure. I don't like the way it's set-up. It shouldn't be "Home Auto Subs On/Off" and "Away Auto Subs On/Off." The CPU should sub regardless, and the only "Auto Subs On/Off" should be for the human player.

I really liked how they added the feature where you can distribute the mins like the other game but I still don't see enough subs. maybe that's because you hardly hear the whistle in this game lol
