I'm really worried about the AI for this game. 2K3 had some of the worst AI ever in a sports game imo and the fact I haven't read a thing about this year's AI has me wondering if they are even addressing all the problems. All i've read talks about atmospheric improvements. I don't want to end up wasting $50 on this game just to watch 3 #1 seeds lose to #16 seeds in the first 2 years of my dynasty the way they did in last years game. One #1 actually lost by 42 points the 16 seed. Maybe i've missed the articles so if anybody has seen any that talk about the AI in this game please let me know.

I think it will be improved. I read an interview from a website (can't remember the name for the life of me but if you have time, it was somewhere on the IGN-xbox boards) that talked to the producer of the game and it sounded like they really tried to address everything this year from the stupid crappy teams turning number one midseason, to the 8,000 missed shots 1 foot away from the basket. Steals were toned way down according to the guy too and he stated they really improved the off the ball movement and stuff like that. I don't know about everyone else, but i've personally always found basketball games a little short on the AI stick always. Never had a BBall game i couldn't eventually destroy everybody on no matter what the difficulty, but cross ur fingers and let's hope sega at least made the challenge last past 2 games this year.
