OK here's a quick rundown of what I think 2K should fix in the next patch.
1. Dribbling.
Change the dribbling animations back to what it was like at the beginning of the 2K17 release, back to before patch 1.6 hit and ruined the dribbling animations. You can see in this video, Harden's crossover animation is cancelled. This is what was possible before patch 1.6. After patch 1.6, this became impossible, which affected the explosiveness of offensive players.
Link below shows what should happen (this was dribbling at the beginning of 2K17). Instead, after patch 1.6, we are forced to complete the initial hesitation animation which is awful.
2. Double teams.
Remove double teams altogether if 2K cannot rewrite the AI in time to make it more logical.
3. Grope-flail-strip animation.
There is this annoying animation

3. Remove the grope-flail-strip animation in the paint while going for a layup/dunk.
There is this annoying animation where the dribbler goes into the paint, and is about to attempt a layup, but then instead of finishing through the layup, he gets groped and loses the ball.
This should be a reach-in or shooting foul, but there is no call at all and the dribbler just loses control.

4. Loosen CPU on-ball defense.
CPU on-ball defense is ridiculous. The bumping and godly reactions of the CPU to every single one of my dribble moves is completely unrealistic. Unless I break their ankles, nothing breaks them down. Fakes and hesis do nothing against a CPU because they immediately recover.
Realise that the CPU needs to be able to be broken down by faster players.
CPU recovery speed is unrealistic.
