What style of game do some of you prefer?... An uptempo, fastbreaking style, or a more controlled offense w/ the tempo down to have your players crash the boards? And, what teams play only play well w/ certain tempo and pressure settings?

I perfer a mix of the two.

I've found the Orlando Magic to play great on both of the settings.
They do a bit better on fast tempo though, because if you start Hill, 3 starters will be over 85 in speed and great in stamina...

I like to controlled tempo more. I always seem to make a lot more mistakes playing for the steals rather than just sticking with my man.

It depends on who i'm playing. I'm finding the Mavericks to be a capable rebounding team when i have the tempo down, so i slow it down against teams like San Antonio or Detroit. For teams like the Kings or the Suns, i'll open it up and play like i'm in the ABA.
