Yay! 1 out of my 4 simmed games won! I was fairly handily in the playoffs anyway, hoping to get a middle spot, the west isn't great though, a few more user teams in there now though than at the start so will see how it goes.

Server seems to be down again!

I was playing one of these myself lately.

Mainly just played online and MyPlayer earlier in the year and in previous versions.

Started on Professional by mistake(meant to change it but missed the option) and played the 14 game season.
I was winning most games by 15-20 points(5mins a half) with the only loss coming in a game where I was 5-0 down in the first minute and was out-rebounded on the offensive boards by some astronomical amount(example: 13-4)
My team should be well versed to deal with this:

Conley
Terry
Durant
Chandler
Ibaka

I kept going as Professional with the intention to up it to All-Star after one season, I kept seeing that same trend continue over time where my team were out-rebounded offensively by lob sided figures regardless off the opposition and the fact I was still winning with ease.

During the play offs I upped the difficult to All-Star, was still winning but now only by 3-4 points.

Again though you get the same flaws with the opposition:
*Offensive rebound domination to the AI(even though you're letting the AI work it for you).
*AI blocking 10 times as many shots even in situations where you seemed to work a bit of space to get off a running shot, AI rotating and forcing misses on successful drives with your PG where the AI always seem to get foul shots whereas your PG seems to move so clunky when trying to track the AI and stay in front, this also happens when the AI PG dishes it off and circles towards the paint...anyone who's played MYCAREER will know you get raped with regards to trying to track a man off the ball to the paint.
*AI rarely ever missing FT's(this one is particularly annoying since it's not realistic in a playing sense for most players).
*And the biggest problem of all.... THE CAMERA ANGLES.
The easiest camera to play with is the 2K view from behind, this makes handling the ball easier and let's you see some angles easier you wouldn't from a side view, but since you can't zoom out far enough you can't see at least two of your players when playing in the corners meaning you throw balls away a lot.

I was had to turn it off mid NBA finals as the AI fought back from 10 down to just sweep ahead with all the boards, blocks and easy finishes.

This game needs a big revamp. They have a lot right but the controls are extremely poor and clunky, the AI isn't great to play against, the camera angles from behind need to be improved and the online sliders needs adjustment(3 point bandits rule the day).
Hopefully EA get back to bringing us an alternative as their sports games are far and away their best collection.

Whats the story with simmed user games? Can these be replayed or is that it once they're simmed? I've only had 3 user games to play since joining and now 2 of those have been simmed the other day

Carroller

I'm out of Xbox live won't be getting it til Friday I'd say so hopefully I've a good bit of time before a game gets simmed

Aeghnor

If it's passed the day of the simmed game then it can't be reset. It's only for games you DC in I think.

Sorry I haven't been as active as I would have liked to lads, I'm in another association (which I actually won last night) and have been playing a lot of games in the playoffs. Will get back to it now this week.

I'm around tonight to play. I'm off on hols on Friday for a week and a half, so I guess I'm probably going to have all my playoffs simmed.

Bad timing I suppose, but count me in for next season. I really want to see what kind of team I'd end up with after a fantasy draft with other people.

PerrinV2

Any chance the Trailblazers will be on before the match tonight?
I think its getting simmed after 9
Bulls

What time suits?

Aeghnor

Looks like whoever have spurs just gave up on a league and my game with spurs was simmed... And i lost it. Is there any chance to force a win for my team or i just have to put up with it? It is not fair at all... If you are fed up with this league you should quit and let other players play against cpu.

buyer95

If have the spurs next game, and am just posting here to ask stackoo to play the game as he hasn't responded to messages on XBOX... Rooney are u round now, I can't play after 11

Sorry man, did it get simmed?

I wasn't around until ridiculously late in the end. Up the walls at work this week and had indoor soccer too.

I'll be around from 7 tonight to get as much as I can played before I'm off for 10 days or so.
