Cheese Tutorial : How to beat HOF SIM CPU without running a single play or even pick.

Just beat the CPU on Hall of Fame, simulation difficulty without calling any plays, not even a single pick, ANDDDDD only using one player:

Anthony Davis: 72 points on 31/40 shooting

To perform this winning strategy, all you need to do is select Anthony Davis' position as your "Preferred Position" in the options and then turbo him to the other side of the court every possession. You can even do this while using him for defense too!

This is not a post to brag (as this is obviously cheese of the lowest scumbag variety) but rather to further show how broken the defense in this game is.. I know the Mavs are awful but cmon.... 72 pts in HOF difficulty by ONE player without even trying? Anthony Davis is one of the fastest players in the game so this could theoretically work against any team which has slower bigs than him (read: every single NBA team)

If this works against a HOF CPU, then it'll definitely work against unexpecting online players. How are we gonna counter this cheese? Is there even a chance we can expect that 2K is paying attention to our complaints and will try to fix the mind-bogglingly awful full-court passing/off-ball transition D in the game?

I can't make those full court passes on Pro, but you have video evidence making them on HoF.

I gotta step my game up.

But yes, a big problem is that bigs do not hustle back on defense. You can beat them nearly all the time just by turboing back.

Everybody knows that the transition defense is atrocious to
say the least and will hopefully be adressed soon.

Even the CPU uses these half or even full court passes into
the paint sometimes. I only play myCareer so it's not a huge problem
for me as for others but it really hurts my eyes watching
that video lol. Even though it's possible to do this i will never
understand why anyone would EVER do this.

Thank you for this video.. perfect examples of what the main defensive issue is right now.

Lord, look at some of these passes lmao.

It's like they bumped up the CPU on ball defense and then ignored everything else on that side of the ball. My God I've never seen such awful help defense AI in a 2K game like I've seen in this one.

I actually played against someone who was destroying me with this and I was wondering why. I looked into the stats and found out that Anthony Davis has 82 speed / 80 acceleration. His speed is faster than Chris Paul! No wonder this garbage works.

So he has the same speed as my 6"4 Inside SG in my myCareer reaching his speed cap?
That's interesting...

"Gameplan is to run the offense through Anthony Davis" lol And you did exactly that.

2k should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this. At least with the hop step cheese from years back, you had to learn how and when to use it. The fact that you can just throw up half and full court inbound passes with Tom Brady accuracy and this is a viable offense is disgusting.

I just wonder if there's any way for us fans of the game to even reach out to 2K directly about things they should address. Some kind of ticket / suggestion system?

Biggest frustration in the game along with ai walking into the paint getting into perfect scoring position for a easy 2.

developers read these boards, and are fully aware about the transition issues.

The spin layup is up there as well. Starting to see more people use it now. Lead passing especially into the paint has always been an issue. Bigs don't feel out their men like they do in the nba so you can just lead a man down there and score with ease.

I'm really happy that you made this video. Now there's is no debate about the transition defense.

This same tactic is what cheesers are abusing online since nothing else works anymore (except for alley-oop abuse and pick and rolls). Also, as you can see in the video, there's no way to deny a ball into the paint. Big men have low steal stats so you literally cannot manually stop someone from just forcing it into the paint whenever they want, even if they are in perfect position to steal.

Hopefully the devs can take this and adjust some stuff to prevent this. Or if they can't, completely revamp the defense for 2k17 so this doesn't happen next year.
