I just experienced a weird bug, all of a sudden I was controlling and off-ball player almost all the time, but I was stuck to my player if I passed the ball even after receiving it. I could direct switch, so I finally direct switched to the player with the ball. When I passed it, I was still in control of the same player.
Plus the Defensive AI (for the human controlled team at-least) is virtually non-existant as there is no help defense. There is no "weight" to players its just animations. Ever notice the PG driving just pushing your help-defender backwards? Its because its in the middle of an animation. Same thing when your trying to take a charge on a guy who is in mid-air in the middle of a layup, you get pushed backwards, feet sliding. I bet most of this stuff can get fixed in the aiact file.
Oh, I also found that there is the remnants of the Fatigue effect slider and the CPU auto sub slider in the settings.dat file. I did a bunch of in-game changing and comparing in a hex editor to find this out. Their is a slider in the settings.dat file that is not used and its grouped with the General sliders. It was at zero so I edited it in the settings file and it made no changes. I figure it is disabled. I'm willing to bet that EA thought that with the playing time assignments feature, they wouldn't need it.
Sorry if this seemed more of a gripe thread. I just had to release it. I can workaround the crap if a patch is released that fixes the major issue(s).
