No it is not an exaggeration. Most games between both me and the CPU there are 30 told freethrow attempts. The NBA average for a game is like 50 and some games are even worse. I have some games where it is like just 20 free throws combined and a lot of hard fouls are not being called. I think the CPU not taking 3's is what is being exaggerated. Most games the CPU takes around 20 3's and some times more. I don't see the CPU taking 3's to be a problem at all.
