I'm just going to venture a guess that you're not running P&R very well. There is some skill and finesse that goes into running the defender into the screen.

A few things to keep in mind:
1. Make sure you let the screen get set.
2. Learn how to "speed boost" and/or explode out of Triple Threat.
3. Consider going opposite direction briefly and then back toward screen to get more runway for momentum.
4. Learn how to get angle to attack the basket to draw the big's defensive attention and free up your roller to be open for the pass.

Thank u for this!

I can't wait to get home and try ur tips.

U are correct. I think I've been rushing it too much and I don't really know why but I've been trying to go around it immediately without being patient.

Harryl giving you honest strats and here is my list of cheesy moves.

1. Set free throw difficulty to 0 at the main menu, now you can make every single free throw from everyone.

2. Run all PFs/Cs, preferably 4 that can shoot a decent 3 but not necessary. Height is just too good on defense and speed doesn't matter as much. On offense, just take your best post guy and post spin on their weakest guy. Set offense set to 5 out and motion to space the floor.

3. Run a stretch 4 and 5 but one that the CPU actually respects (this is due to some internal logic I don't understand). For example, CPU usually respects Raef and will sag a lot on Thon. Then do 5 out PnR with a wing and release your roller early. Either use L1 to release or use the manual full receiver control. If their C/PF sags into the paint then this strategy probably doesn't work.

4. On defense, if the ball is in the hands of a poor midrange shooter, jump with their defender. That will force the AI to go into a driving logic and if they can't pullup with a mid, it'll be a contested layup 50% of the time. Obviously it won't work a lot but it's better than waiting around for a near guaranteed offensive possession.

5. Alternatively, just setup your PnR game with someone glitchly like Ben Simmons and rely on the blow by animations. With the free throw glitch, there is no reason not to attack the basket often and even in transition.

This for sure. I would consider not using this cheat if FT's were working as one would expect. But I went through a stretch against one of the Historic Bulls in which I twice went 0-2 from the line with Kevin Durant, in the 4th Quarter and, since then...F the CPU.

This can be a pretty big deal. The difference between, say, 75% and 100% FT bonus could easily be the difference between 2 and 3 Stars.

This can work. If you do this, I think a big thing is to switch quickly to next defender in line to contest.

I have also found it fruitful to use Half Court Trap and to double team a lot. Gets more and more effective, I think, as the CPU team gets more and more fatigued and you're always rotating in fresh guys.

You can't. But the slider for FT difficulty is not with all the other game sliders.

At some point, I'm sure 2K will patch this but, for the time being, try to use it for as long as you can.

This "Supermax" mode must be a joke 2k. Everyone plays 5 ****ing out, LBJ at Point, drive, kick to Lafrentz. The Equalizer is worse than ever. And on top a cheap money grab with these "Caps".

This works for MyTeam? Didn't expect it to carry over, great tip.
