- Are charges fixed this year? Last year, if you took a charge and the offensive player made the layup, it would count. Does this still happen?
- Can anyone confirm if the bug where a blocked shot doesn't count as a field goal attempt is still in the game?
- Any wacky substitution patterns by the CPU like last year (star player sits out crucial minutes or misses most of a quarter even though he's not in foul trouble or fatigued)?
- Last year, I usually liked to perform all substitutions for the CPU, and so I put CPU substitution frequency down to 0. Still, it didn't work well. I had to switch controllers to CPU to make its substitution which is annoying, and also the CPU would sometimes sub back players on its own even though the setting is at 0! Can anyone test this and see if it works better?
Thanks.
- Charge and count it bug? GONE!
- Unfortunately, a block still doesn't count as as hot attempt. And yes, almost steals that go out of bounds still count as turnovers.
- They've done a fabulous job with the sub patterns this year. I haven't had to switch to the cpu's side and fix their sub patterns once. I'll still keep an eye out for it though...
Dre, I got the game a few days ago for Xbox. I've checked the stats after getting my shot blocked, and it DOES count as a shot attempt. Maybe sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Also, I believe even blocking a shot out of bounds will count as a turnover against you. It shouldn't have been very difficult to keep track of which team has possession, so there really is no excuse for this bug.
For me, the substitutions have been one of the big annoyances in gameplay. I'd prefer not to have to manually do all the substitutions for myself, so I put the slideres for substitutions at around 35. I suspect that the subtitution AI only takes Fatigue and Fouls into account when deciding substitutions, which isn't good. In more than a few games, key players (like Yao or Shaq) have been subbed out in the closing minutes of the game. Also, the starters don't start the second half, even though this is the convention. You haven't noticed these problems?
Another thing. You mentioned before that the Marv will say a created player's last name instead of his jersey number if his last name is in the audio database? I created Shaun Livingston for fun just to check this out. Since there's a Randy Livingston in the free agent pool, I assume his last name is in the audio database. But Marv would call him "Livingston" and instead used his number. Am I doing something wrong?
