Re: Double Team Issue

Is there any update? I am not sure why it is so hard to make a button to stop double team. Its been an issue all the time. All season, and all seasons long. We do not want automatic double team period.

There are less voices in here because there are not that many users on this site.

I do not think general users are aware of the existence of this site or Discord as it is really hard to find "Official Forum / Site" for NBALM.

Two people in this site already mentioned they are having same issue as I am, and if you search "Double Team", you will see bunch of posts and comments about it. 

I can show some screenshot of these comments if you want me to. 

Not trying to be uncooperative, but there seems to be plenty evidence that AI just comes for double team to the player you are controlling. For example, if you are controlling PG, SG will ditch his opponent to come to you for double team. Power lineup does that 90% of time Strat line starting to doing it. There are many many complains about this, and me having to prove it by uploading a video seems unreasonable. I am sure devs can test their games and check it. Not autoplaying it but actually playing it and testing it out. 

It is quite frustrating that EA developers do not believe in users' complaints. There are SO MANY threads and posts about AI being unreasonably stupid (my AI), always getting outrebounded, being "stunned" after stealing (causing opp players to pick up while your player is much closer to the ball), blocks always going to opp, low OVR always getting advantage, etc. on this AND Discord threads. These should have been fixed years ago. I think EA would have retained many more customers if they took care of this. 

As a fan, I am really wishing EA to fix these things instead of ignoring it and coming up with copy-and-paste promos. Nothing personal, but really wishing game to be better. 

Hello. Blueberry.

Here is the recording. You can see three times, my player came to my side (I was controlling my PG Dejounte) when it was uncalled for.

Please check and let me know.

Was 1:16 one of them? That is the only one I noticed where the players got hung up a little. It could be improved there. I can try to check to see if that was supposed to emulate a screen. 

Look near 2:44-46. Gervin leaves Bird to come help DJ which is not necessary at all. This time nothing happened, but in times like this if Iverson passed to Bird, it would be an open 3. Something like this happens all time time.

Did you notice how you turned towards Bird though as if you were going to go cover him?

There is logic built into the game where AI has to figure out who to cover. They aren't making human decisions and it's calculated by math/algorithms/conditions. It's possible since you started to shift towards Bird at that moment it triggered Gervin to go to DJ.

I turned because I was backing. This is only one screenshot that proves what you are saying but why would AI assume, I am ditching my defender who has the ball to go after a player without a ball? This is simply happening because I am moving to get into my position and sometimes "joystick" would not let me move otherwise. We should have option to choose "double team accepted" / "stay with your man" or something like that. 

On this screenshot, you are probably right, but this happens many different occasions, and it is given on Power LU that AI automatically comes for unnecessarily, which made a lot of users to abandon the Power LU. This is still an issue regardless of algorithm / math / conditions. 

This is happening constantly even I am not chasing another player. I was literally facing the opp point card and my centers come to help. Please take this into consideration. I am not making these up and if you just search Discord with "Double Team" you will see tons of feedback. 

@Fix_NBALM 

Shared your feedback and this post over to the team so they are aware. I am not aware of any upcoming plans to make changes round defense and gameplay though. Changes from requests on the forums are never guaranteed, however even if direct changes or ideas are implemented that does not mean they were considered during the development process. Hopefully we can see more additions around defense and improvements in AI as the game progresses. Thank you for keeping tabs on this and updating the forum post with your gameplay. 

It has been 3 months, yet, it still has not been fixed. Any feedback?? Please fix these things.
