Same issue is with MyPlayer. At least with my team you have a whole team to control and not sure but maybe even have sliders to adjust? My player is 10x worse even worse for every poor soul like me who made slashers thinking we would get good handle and chances on fast breaks on steals.
CPU at the current rate has super turbo boost. You can be 3 steps ahead or 22 he will catch up to you. Worst is they catch up and give you a tiny bump and boom its over your player stops and does some wacky turn like he just walked in cement.
Also love the whole game and graphics and presentation but mechanics about fast breaks and open lanes is so painful to deal with now Im pulling my hair out literally.
