Not all characteristics are positive - some players are too egotistical to allow others to take over the reigns on their team. Case in point Carmelo Anthony, who obviously wants the Knicks to succeed, but believes that the best way for them to do so is by holding on to the ball. A lot.

Calling Melo a ball hog may be an overstatement, but he tends to dribble too much and slow down his team's offense in the process. It's not that he doesn't pass - he just passes too late.

The way to show this in the game might be by forcing the gamer to push the pass button one extra time when Melo has the ball or just lower the team's overall quickness when he's on the floor. Granted, Anthony is a future Hall of Famer and one of the best shooters in the league right now, but he should learn how to adapt if he wants to win.
