To be fair, 2k also suffers from this. Both games need work in the situational shot-type selection.

Unlike the other video, in this one CPU Kyrie actually attempts to drive to the basket and gets the foul when the USER veers off his defensive assignment. Maybe difficulty level has something to do with this? But I'm glad to see this either way.

I noticed that in the other video as well. Hopefully we see the result from this video more often, or it's tied to the difficulty level.

1:27 in. This is the issue with the CPU not protecting the paint with the fast break in motion. CPU Kyrie should be in the paint while being aware of his assignment. Instead, he hangs by the free throw line and his assignment (Curry) runs right past him for an easy pass. Though the user blows the layup, this is the kind of CPU AI that is frustrating.

To me, it looked like Kyrie was actually in good position, and stayed with Curry all the way to the basket. The pass that the user threw was a bad pass, and should have been stolen (it looked like it went right past Kyrie's head). Again, hopefully that is tied to the difficulty level, because a poor pass into the paint like that should result in a turnover, or at least a deflection. If that's not why it played out that way, then they definitely need to rework some of the AI there.

2:00 in. Why is CPU Thompson not aware of his defender? Just dribbling the basketball right into Bogut and then right in front of the would-be stealer. No real person does that. They would protect the ball immediately or try to dribble away. I understand there's an offensive awareness rating, but that's not rating based. That's pure basketball logic that no one making the NBA would purposely do.

Agreed on that one. Even on Rookie, that blatant ball-showing shouldn't happen lol.
