This game is just O.K. Not good, not great and not bad just O.K. I am in the middle of a season in dynasty mode. I noticed that the computer AI is not always up to par. For example. While putting a press on my opponent, a pass will fly near one of my defenders and they would not even bother to stick a hand out to try to intercept. This doesnt always happen, but it happens enough for me to notice. I also noticed that just in order to keep the game close the computer will have some mediocre player explode for 40 points just to beat you, cause all of a sudden my team cant make a lay up or a decent pass to save their lives. To add to the magical superstar players, I can never get a call in my favor for being pushed out of bounds. Whats the deal with that? The controls are kind of suspect also. I noticed that that damn off the ball control comes up at the worse times when I am trying to back down an opponent. When this happens I have to wait until it goes away on its own or I will end up making a bad pass cause I couldnt control the player with the ball. Very frustrating
