Tried playing SIM. Gotta go back to cheese

[FrequentFlyer15]

Cheesing in this game and earlier titles is very much rewarding especially for players who just turboing on the court with certain athletic/star player. It ruins game year after year, each year i expect the game gets tight and rewarding in terms of smart plays and good defense but nahhh. Game rewards cheesy stuff plus the game itself is pretty much arcadelike something like gran turismo back then (expose themselves like real racing simulator but when you crash you car 150 mph at the wall car stays untouched, like what simulator is that) ... same story with 2K, at the top it seems like most realistic game ever made but when you scratch under the hood you get like halfsim - halfarcade, no matter which slider set you make the game itself is cheesy, arcadeish and scripted.

I am a new 2k player and I haven't been online yet. What are some of the things that are considered Cheezy that people online do?

MyTeam...putting players like Lebron James and Tracy McGrady at PG.

Ranked Matches...zig zag, never making subsitutions, throwing hail mary passes being three of your players for easy buckets, baseline cheese, spin jumper and then pump fake into the lane

MyTeam...zig zag, going baseline every single time, baseline stepback threes...

Watching some of your videos i'm not sure why you claim to be a (great) SIM style player tbh. You abuse certain game mechanics and AI flaws 95% of the times.
Youtube is flooded with these "tactics". And of course they work against the average one-dimensional run&gun gamer who can't adapt at all.

Cheesing is easier but sim is more effective. Playing sim is a longer, more arduous road to become good at but far more worth it. Just know the keys to a good offense (know your personnel, playbook/freelance offense and matchups). Same applies to the defense which is something I feel is often overlooked when talking sim.

The information is out there to help make you better, you just got to keep at it.
