Agreed but you don't have to be condescending.

I've gotten a number of charges in my favor in ranked matches but I would say that I was set for about 2 seconds, easy. I've plowed over people and caught the whistle more than my fair share playing against the cpu, but only got the charge in my favor playing the my player mode (first and only one all year vs. the cpu) because of a funky switch.

TBH, I don't miss it. Realism aside, I haven't been screwed over by it yet so I don't really have a gripe. I'd rather contest a shot or try to poke it away than take a charge this year and I feel like my game is better because of it.

Charging is a huge part of help defense, which is still a bit off in this game. That and its a welcomed passive way of defending the paint that players/teams use often. It can stay how it is in on the perimeter, but in the paint it should go back to 2k10.

I did draw a charge against D.Wade but I thought it was against me. I was not paying attention and did not inbound in time and got 5 seconds called.

...doesn't mean it shouldn't be in the game properly implemented.

Seems to me they might be calculating it by two ways:

1) Time based, just like assists. Bad move, because it doesn't take into account defensive player positioning.

2) Consequence of the user abusing a move. While good and all, this shouldn't be the ONLY way it is done.

Again, add consequence to the defensive player trying to draw the charge. Make them get called for blocking (as they seem to now) but also if the offensive player avoids them, give the defensive player a little stumble or delay getting back on defense...

They had to have just completely removed the ability to take a charge for the user and made practically every call that should block against the CPU a charge. This is so incredibly frustrating, they are now consistently sliding players right in front of me and it's somehow a charge every time. I can't play a single My Player game without seeing this multiple times.

You've got your man out of position so you try a spin gather? Sorry, we're just gonna shift this guy right in front of you and even though he's still moving and hasn't even attempted to set himself up to take a charge we're going to take away 2 bars of teammate rating.

The funny thing is when this same scenario happens online they don't call anything, you just bulldoze over the defender as if he were a little child which usually leads to an easy bucket.
