what happen when cpu's offensive awareness is ZERO?

[jrose57]

just want to know, becuase i tried this, they will stop passing to the guys cutting, but also heard others saidt hat they don't know how to react in tight late game situation? please tell me the effect of this setting thanks guys

I think offensive awareness affects these three things primarily:

1. Spacing (specifically during double teams)
2. Fast Breakinging (players running their correct lanes)
3. Awareness (mostly during loose balls, but to a lesser extent general ability to run an offense)

IMO the only problem I've seen with it at 0 was the passing, this is with both ch2k8 and nba2k, that's not really a problem in my books...I spent most of my time playing watch mode and I have not seen problems like spacing, low FG%, bad fast breaks...with at 0 I'm actually seeing more jump balls and the CPU are not robotic when passing...I'm playing on HOF BTW

Edit- I thought high off awr would help with better ran plays but that's not true( had it at 100 in choops now it's at 0) I still see the same thing with it at 0 when I had it at 100 and the only diff is passing.... off awr= passing or the ability to find the open man

star players will take most shots as you won't see DFish launching 24/7. players will pass up shots way more often as you will sometimes see a post and a wing player pass it back and forth between each other.

thanks for the repsonse, seems like its a good idea to set it to zero if i want the game to be more realistic, but i heard some ppl saying the cpu doesn't know how to react in late game situation, such as they won't intentionally foul u to stop the clock, is that true? Thanks!

the cpu will often use a majority of the shot clock. To test their a.i. you could set up a situational game (if Possible under game modes)where maybe you have a 2 point lead with a few seconds left and give the cpu possession or you could give yourself possession and see if they foul u.
