Thaddeus Young just shot 0-19 this afternoon for me in All-Star.. HE couldn't handle me increasing the difficulty

I guess I'm in the minority on the AI cuz when I was on pro it seemed Stephenson especially, shot terrible. But on superstar my teammates shoot better they don't make dumb decisions (most of the time), Only thing I don't like that they do is make dumb switches on defense

That's what bugged me the MOST in previous versions of the game.. random player switches have me guarding the ball when everyone else leaves a guy, after a screen bottled up the paint, open at the top for a jumper.. kind of gotten used to being punished a couple times a game (teammate grade) for that dumb stuff now.

2 games left in rookie season as I said, didn't have to defend any teammates in the rookie season.. must be a second year scenario.. or my teammates are just soft?

For me it hasn't been as much that, my PF can guard any spot well it's been more like. Well earlier I played the Pistons, I'm guarding Josh Smith up right top of the 3 point line, Al Jefferson is guarding Monroe (or Drummond I don't remember which but it doesn't matter) and as the ball swings across the perimeter to Josh Al leaves his man and runs up to Josh and then his man becomes my man and is left wide open and scores. I didn't get why switch when neither guy had moved at all.

Just finished playing against the Clippers, and this game had a level of importance considering that fact that Doc came up to us before the game and told us he's familiar with the Clippers (obviously) and he gave us a few tips on how to play them.

We actually started out the game pretty well, fell behind in the second and closed the gap in the third. But once again, the fourth quarter was a disaster. My teammates opened up the quarter 0-4, allowing the Clippers to take a 10 point lead. So I decided to take over and aggressively attack Deandre Jordan who had actually been containing me for most of the game. But it was like my Center flipped a switch in the fourth and started going off. I scored sixteen of our twenty points in the fourth quarter, dragging the Magic back to the point where I managed to tie the game. But from there, the Clippers would hit nothing but contested jumpers to seal the game 86-82. We defended each shot perfectly but they all went in. But I could care less about that, it was my teammates that didn't perform or even show up on the offensive end this game.

Oladipo 1-12. Evan Turner 7-22. Meanwhile I was balling out on the Clippers yet the Magic continued to feed people who were cold throughout the game. Has anyone gotten the On Court Coach badge? I NEED a way to limit how many shots these guys jack up because they have a bad case of tunnel vision every time they get the ball.

I think it has to deal with your teammates. Volume shooters, aren't really going to be reliable teammates unless it is good. It seems like certain teams you might want to stay away in your 1st couple teams, like Minnesota or Bucks.
It also seems like Badges, play a big part in the game play. Which is what I looked at before I chose my new team

I can guard them if I can GET to them, left turbo and right stick usually is pretty good unless the guy has a quick first step them I'm screwed when he shoots a jumper right next to me.. my problem usually is trying to get around a crowd of players and the game switching the open guy to be MY guy who then shoots.

It seems like 2k15 WANTS you to switch EVERY time no matter the mismatch
