Defence matters? Hmmmm

[Yesh2kdone]

it's a pity this motto wasn't stretched out to mycareer team mates this year. I play for the Thunder on HoF sim and the continual appalling defence is absolutely killing me. Players allowed to run all the way to the basket without being challenged, watching opponents get open just by standing still, atrocious switching again sending me back and forth till open shots are created.

I understand how people who play online games would love this game, but I play career and park only. I can't cope with the ****ty defence any more. I'm still getting to grips with the new offensive controls, and trying out different jumpshots etc, so I don't particularly mind losing games at the moment, but team mate defence seems even worse than last year.

What are other peoples experiences with this? The AI defence is still crazily overpowered when it comes to reacting to button presses rather than the action again. I've had opponents waiting in the air to intercept a pass my player hasn't made yet because it's reacting to my controller.

Huh? Are you complaining that there's no defense or is the defense is overpowered?

I'm complaining that my team mates don't play any defence at all, and yet the CPU still reacts to things before they even happen.

Things I was expecting to be different this year.

Hall Of Fame difficulty is unrealistic. Try rookie.

Thanks for commenting, but I feel like this is the free pass for 2k. I've always played on HoF sim so I don't see that changing now. The issue isn't difficulty of the level, but the fact my team mates defensive capabilities are even worse than 2k15 despite the fact I remember hearing about how improved our team mates would be and how important defence is.

Because anything lower has always been way too easy for me. I don't want to blow teams out by 40 every match. No doubt I'll get to grips with this and find other ways to combat it as I get better at this years game. I'm just really disappointed that our team mates get worse at the worst part of the game for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
