It's time for manual "Y / Triangle" cuts to go

They're not very effective this year unless the defense is set to "deny" off-ball pressure, which is a setting that should be getting beat by backdoor courts.

The mechanic was definitely overly effective in 2K16 before the new off-ball physicality animations were added to 2K17. This year it feels pretty well balanced to me. If anything, I think the defense in 2K17 should be more susceptible, not less susceptible, to backdoor cuts when playing "deny" off-ball pressure. Those cuts gets held up and stuck in contact animations a lot of the time now.

The new cheesy way to lead pass it to post up and then call for a cut from the quick play menu.

Yep. Very, very effective.
