Here! Just made a couple of games, can't tell you too much but I think the AI is as perfect as is in the other modes.
By the way, guess who picked me.
Oh, no, the special one takes New York. I'll have to put my player on the pacers and teach your Knicks one or two things...
Anyone have some tips for a new player to the series?
First thing is to try and make what players usually do. Try to play with players you have watched on TV, because they are good on what they do in real life.
Don't rush plays, don't spam sprint button, try first to play simple basketball. Move the ball, pass to the mane alone, jump shoot.
In deffense, try to be aware of the overall movements. It's hard to stop a play and to avoid the opponent to score, but that's also in real life. Don't spam the steal button, try to make them shoot in difficult positions. It's more an exercise of containing.
Learn the post moves. They're very powerful if you play with a great PF like Garnett, Gasol, Randolph...
If you're finding it too difficult, just lower the AI. And finally, practice plays, practice movements and practice different kinds of shoots. It's a very deep game, so you won't own it in a few days. Simply enjoy the learning.
The key is trying to replicate what works in real world.
