The FUNDAMENTAL issue with 2k17's AI Defense

[rspencer86]

The problem with double teams is not only how predictable they are and which defender is selected to be the second guy, but in general a double team is not going to be very effective in a game where the user has a pulled-back camera view to be able to see it coming and make a simple pass to the open man.

In real life, you typically don't see a double coming until both defenders are on top of you, and by then you can't see anything.

They need to improve the logic of where to double team and which defender to select as the second man, make that defender come harder (seems like they just jog over, which gives more time to pass out of it), and once the double is established, make it more effective (poking the ball away, jump balls, or just harder to pass out of).

Hey you know what maybe some kind of vision cone could make things more realistic. It would make passing and working out of the P&R much more realistic and separate those guys with good court vision from the guys with not so good vision. Then When the double comes just shrink the vision cone depending on how good a player is at dealing with a double team. I think that would be great if 2K could look into this.
