In Game Modes there is a Post Move's 2 v 2 practice mode, use it. Pump fakes are your best friend in the post. Also remember you can fake before you take a dribble as well (then use that dribble to get past one defender and have another fake at your disposal), and pressing y (triangle) will face you back up after a post up resulting it quite a few good chances at driving past your opponent.

AI was wrong you just need Practice and the hook really only falls on a regular basis if you're only a few feet from the basket.
