I'm using these on the xbox one version. I can now have competitive and competent games vs the computer. These make the computer take and make open jumpers so if you don't defend realistically and well, you'll get murked off of jumpers and 3s...like it should be to me. And if you do defend the obvious j or 3, then the computer works shit around and tries to catch you slipping. Working the ball down low to bigs might be a little too effective for a person but it's not the dribble twice with turbo + right analog towards the goal = auto bucket or shooting foul.

Biggest thing...it isn't random turnover festival anymore. You can throw a decent entry pass without flat out expecting a turnover.

I can enjoy the game with these settings...I'm about three games deep. Huge difference.
