I get it. I get it. Durant could very well be the best shooter in the nba (when healthy) besides steph. I get it. Russell is a beast. I get it, you released patch 4 to shut up the millions of little children who see these 3 point snipers on highlight reels draining 5-6 threes in a game like its nothing. But those same kids don't really watch the games. If they did they would see steph go 2-15 from deep last night and essentially give up the game because they believe even a long 2 is better than 3 feet away from the basket.
But OS, as a community, we cannot let this abomination that 2k calls defense stand. Too long has the cpu been banging in the paint, unchecked, grabbing offensive rebound after offensive rebound, sometimes 3-4 in a row to ensure they get a bucket or a foul. Too long have i watched my bigs get posterized for the sake of an adolescent teen thinking he has 2 options on offense, zig zag for a 3 or use the zig zag for an easy bucket inside.
No more do i care to see a cpu or human opponent go unchecked! I say for the love of the glove! For Gary Payton! For Scottie pippen! For kurt rambis! For kevin garnett! For ron artest! For Tony allen! Let's pray! Let's hope! For the love of basketball! Let defense raise hell in 2k16! Let no more sliding, unnecessary slow reaction times, no morphing or ball passing through a hand, leg, even a full torso! Let big men be feared again! Let all hell rain loose on the ballhog! For team basketball will rise again! Through defense shall the crowd be silenced, amen.

A little weird to be using Durant and Steph as examples. Curry scored 22 in 6 minutes just two seasons ago and Klay scored 37 in 12 just this past year.
Scoring outbursts happen. They just shouldn't happen so often and mechanics that reward team over hero ball needs to be introduced and strengthened.
I hope Beluba's hints on chemistry being in next years' game hints to a system I've always wanted to see-- where a MyCareer-like teammate grade affects the performance of players on court as does their touches. Something like this would affect every aspect of the game, from quick games to MyTeam (no superstar teams without concern for egos and fit) to MyGM.
