Even worse after a made free throw

Whenever someone throws the inbound pass now I just call a double team and try to trap them on the sideline to try and force a turnover or at the very least give my teammates some time to get back on defense.

I want to start MyLeague when the regular season begins, but this issue and the lack of physicality and ball denial against players in the paint before they get the ball is just too much. The extra sucky thing is that we know that the XBOX One will get the gameplay patch 1 to 3 weeks after the PS4 so it could be December before some of us see these things resolved.

I was playing a game and obtained exactly the footage that this thread speaks of:

Literally these happened almost back to back off of dead balls.

Am I doing something wrong here? This is cheese if I've ever seen it before. I know Garnett is 80 years old but damn, my mom could have done a better job sticking to the defensive assignment. Garnett just slowly trots down the floor forgetting he is supposed to guard someone. My POEs are even set to Limit Transition/Protect the Paint and I always ensure fatigue levels are good.

I understand that maybe I could have user'd a big man to ensure he sticks to his assignment (Griffin) but I shouldn't have to do that.... it's basic defense that should have been programmed in...

all that talk about cutting cheese and you can literally run an offense around inbounding to half court and holding turbo into the paint. I just don't understand what their testers do, because I'm pretty sure it isn't playing the game.

I've seen worse. I've seen people do that with just one pass, that being the initial inbound. They cut CP completely out of the picture and just hoist it up fullcourt

My beef isn't even straight up transition situations, I see stuff like this in the halfcourt set all the time (HUM vs CPU)...

Kevin Seraphin with the popular "let me stand out of bounds under the hoop and allow a dunk" that I get a few times per game. Seraphin has no awareness of where he is on the court, he thinks he's 50' from the hoop and still back-pedaling because he doesn't think he needs to be near his assignment yet.



Sure, Carmelo isn't the best defender in the world, but here he goes under the "screen" and runs to the right block, the complete wrong direction and away from the ball. It looks like he's racing to cover Afflalo's man in the corner as if he's expecting Afflalo to rotate in to help on Gordon, though AA never budges. Same goes with Porzingis, Melo may be thinking that he needs to cover Porzingis' man because he expected Taps to rotate over. Same deal with AA though as Porzingis never budges.





Regardless, it seems like there's a big disconnect and the CPU-controlled players aren't aware of whatever team strategy/concept we have for defense and rotations. They also aren't aware of if a rotation is being made and how they should react accordingly.

That second gif highlights an issue that I see with defenders getting caught up after a pass/handoff. I see why you call it a "screen". Either way that's bad recovery. So even if you're a purist looking to play man on man, there's a caveat.
