The AI is absolutely horrible at help defense in almost every capacity

I just spent some time in Scrimmage mode adjust the away team's defensive settings, and then switching back to the home team and seeing what they do against my offense.

The AI has no concept of helping the helper (cutting off the roll man in a pick-and-roll, or rotating to an open shooter if his defender has to help against a drive), they don't hedge properly, they choose to stay attached to the screener even if someone like LeBron has the ball on the drive, and overall, they're just terrible.

Even with me holding their hand (I adjusted their Drive and Screen settings to "Help" instead of "Auto"), the AI still can't do anything against a penetrating ballhandler, and I got easy layups/dunks at will with a simple high pick-and-roll.

This is a gamebreaker for me, and I really hope I'm just missing something.

If anyone is seeing the AI consistently defend against penetration in a competent way, please let me know.

That's not what I'm seeing. I score at the rim easily.

I've noticed they're too willing to switch/bring help and not switch back onto their original man.
