The best part of it is that all three perimeter players are outside stoppers, so stealing the ball is extraordinarily easy. I just do half court traps all the time. I found that outside stopper is by far the most useful freestyle superstar for playing against the CPU.
I can't wait until Biedrins becomes an inside stopper and Diogu becomes a power player. The team will be absolutely unstoppable then. Unfortunately by then my bench will have thinned out due to cap space.

Yeah, that happened to me... once the bench thins, the overall rating drops SEVERLEY (in the previous games, only starters effected it). I dropped from a 92 to a 71 just by freeing up cap space (Murphy, Dunleavy, Fisher, Foyle, Cabarkaba, Biedrins, and Pietrus for Eddie Jones, Desmond Mason, Emeka Okafor, Michael Redd, and 3 garbage rookies). It sucked.
I also have JRich and Baron getting 15 steals a game each (in 5 minute quarters). If the team gets past either of them (doesn't usually happen), Emeka gets one of his 7 blocks a game. I dig the defensive line up

my Hawks team would take ya!:P
Hahaha, uh oh!!!
* update, as well...
I made a trade that everyone here is going to hate... I traded... I traded.... ummm.... JRich?
I KNOW, I KNOW, bad move, but I got AK-47 for him (it's only my 3rd season... Jason's an 88 overall and Andrei's a 90).
Now look at my team: Emeka, Ike, Andrei, Michael Redd, and Baron... aside from Redd, they're ALL defensive standouts and that's what I like. I got my first shutout with 47 yesterday! 104 to 0!!! No joke! Andrei got 12 steals, 8 blocks... Baron got 8 steals... Ike got 5 blocks... Emeka got 15 blocks... I broke, like, 3 records that game! It was too sweet!

I played another 2 years with that team I had. Just finished the regular season . . . 70-12. Ridiculous. The starters are now:
Baron 91; J-rich 91; Johnson 91; Diogu 84; Biedrins 82.
Biedrins became an inside stopper. Still waiting on Diogu though.
I also Billy Beane my bench, stocking it full of rookie reserves in the 70's. My top sub is still Ridnour at 77, but he has help with about 4 other 70+ draftees, one of which is 7'5.
So, yeah, see if your Hawks team can top 70-12.

Ah baron just retired for me and it looks like j-rich is next. biedrins is entering his 30's and i never got him to be an all-star
