Abusing the transition game is far too effective

Bumping for a proper fix and/or dev explanation how this continues to be let through the patching process.

EVERY game of MyTeam just features people spamming turbo off the inbound and having an open lane while your r3tard AI bigs stumble back at a snail's pace. Setting points of emphasis to Limit Transition does absolutely NOTHING to the point I wonder if they even make any difference at all.

Ruins the game, and isn't basketball.

Limit transition helps a bit - your bigs will not go for the immediate rebound but turn around, so if you icon switch to them and turbo back they'll be back in the paint around the time the opposing Westbrook is at the 3 point line. It's a weak band-aid, of course.

Transition defense is just pretty much awful and nonexistent. I set my PoE to limit transition and even after that i must switch heavily between players to set them up, just plain stupid, players feel like they're not in the game. When opponent rush the ball along baseline my bigs just stand there around paint clueless i always have to switch to make defense look at least decent.

Every year offense is overpowered comparing to defense, on offense you got many more options but in defense, players AI is just like elementary school, no switching, no helping plus going back to defense to stop fastbreak is literally nonexistent, some teams that tend to run & gun are OP because of this transition D issue, tried to set sliders but doesn't help big time.

Sometimes it puts you in a celebration or complaining at refs. It also forcesyou to turn back toward basket if you arent holding turbo. Combine that with 55 speed and you got problems when any player can drop passes like Brady to Moss to the center running down court.

Trust me i benefit mostly as im catching that pass on way to 18 for 20, im just saying running back doesnt work so easy every time. Most times if you hold turbo and dont bump into teammates youll be mostly ok.

do yo guys mean USER attacks CPU on fastbreaks are way too easy, because CPU wont be able to stop USER if you just keep run all day?

One thing that bothers me, and I'm not sure if it counts as transition D, is the inbounding player that is trailing the ball seems to get an unstoppable animation that cuts to the rim if it is passed to them around the top of the 3pt line. This is way more frustrating because its guaranteed buckets and the CPu does nothing to stop it

Not even about the passes. Guys just nonchalantly guard their man coming down the court. So easy to inbound to near half court and do a lead pass to a big man because the defending bi man is jogging behind him not giving a ****

The next 2k needs to make the AI actively cover their guy and not just stay in the vicinity of them. Tired of those running back catches where you throw the ball over the shoulder of a defender and the offensive player turns and catches it while in stride. That **** would get stolen 95% of the time in real life but never does in game
