Oh yeah I have to add:

- The animation where you're getting pushed back by the ball-handler is terrible as it always gives them an open fadeaway. This is terrible if you're playing against someone who has Kobe.

- The sliding is terrible.

- Defenders help one pass away way too often.

- Even when playing on-ball, the defender doesn't always contest, and I usually contest with both LT AND the right stick when LT is enough.

- Either decrease the ball-handler's speed when turboing across the perimeter to find an open shot like many people do, or increase the lateral speed of his defender, so we can catch up.

- There are far too many blocks on the perimeter. It's too easy for defenders to block 3 pointers, the way they cover ground in a split second is simply impossibly fast.

- Call a foul when people are throwing themselves at the ball-handler, in real-life people's heads would be taken off with defenders doing what's essentially a Sting Splash on the ball-handler's head.

- Since the defense is mostly terrible in 2K, it means the vast majority of those complex plays and complex dribble moves are completely unnecessary to use online. If a ball-handler can just run in a straight line unimpeded to the basket, then what good is running a pick and roll or doing a crossover?
