If you are very disciplined defender and aren't reaching or fouling that will have a lot to do with it.

You might try the suggestions in this video. I haven't used them so can't vouch for them but could have ideas that might help you get the results you are looking for.

Increase the shooting foul sliders on your end, aka the user foul sliders. Put it to around 90 if you want the CPU shooting much more.

I have it at 100 and the CPU never shoots more the 15 FT a game (10 mins).

Its a 2K legacy issue.

I avg 10-15 more FTs a game than the CPU, I don't reach and play smart defense. The CPU reaches too much, with good rosters and sliders the CPU unrealistic sliding and recovery user gets more fouls.

Nope, there is no way to really fix this on the user side. I hold out hope every year that they'll more effectively implement off ball fouls.

*Jostling for position in the post
*The perimeter contact(blocking fouls) that they used to have circa 2K7-9
*A higher frequency of the fouls regarding screens(Slower big men not moving their feet while hedging, defenders trying to get around/through them, Screeners setting hard screens etc...)

These are things that you see at least 10-12 times per game in the NBA but for some reason they're just not there. I actually expected this when they went to the 'Simulation' sliders a few years ago but I guess it's not that important *shrug*

The NBA average is somewhere around 20 fouls per team, I would love to see all of these things added throughout ALL modes so that we could get closer to those numbers, but sadly, I don't expect them anymore.
