I may have found a legit fix to the fast break issue, but I ask you to help. The more testing is done, the more sure we can be of the fix.
I had tried changing difficulty levels, lowering the fast break slider to 0, too many slider variations to mention and had was seeing the same thing happen in CPU vs. CPU games - following a defensive rebound, the PG would sprint up court, do multiple And-1 Mixtape dribble moves and force up a mid-range/close shot. I can't tell you how many times I've seen Chris Paul take 26 shots in a game because of this.
I was about to just accept it and roll with it. Then, I decided something I hadn't tried yet - setting Play Calling in Coaching Profiles to 0. I thought that, maybe, this would lead to more freelance situations which would force the CPU into a different type of offense. What I've found is very surprising.
Turning Play Calling to 0 makes the CPU call plays EARLIER IN THE SHOT CLOCK and MORE OFTEN than at 100. At 100, after a defensive rebound, I've documented that the CPU waits 7-8 seconds to call a play. During that 7-8 seconds, the ball handler will usually force the action and force up a highly contested shot.
With Play Calling at 0, the majority of the time the CPU grabs a defensive rebound, a play is called within 4 seconds, they'll walk the ball upcourt and run the play. Following steals/blocks, the CPU will still look to run. For a reason unknown to me, setting Play Calling at 0 makes the CPU call more plays.
I know this sounds crazy. I wouldn't believe it if somebody else told me and I hadn't documented what I've witnessed myself. But I ask you to do this. Set the difficulty to Pro (I haven't had time to test on anything else. I assume it works on other difficulties as well but haven't had time to check.) Play with whatever slider set you want. Play with Fast Break under Coaching Profiles to whatever you want. Set play calls to 0. Start a CPU game but set at least one team to Coach Mode and turn play calling to auto, play art always and play notification always. Watch the CPU play a completely different game than what you've seen so far.
Let me know what you guys find. I can't tell you how encouraged I am by what I've seen so far.

That sounds VERY encouraging. I'm anxious to try this out later tonight.
