This is an inherent issue when you have a vocal fanbase like 2K does. In fact, I might be wrong but I dare say a lot of these problems are because of the short sighted nature is to listen to a large community after release (not OS since outside of a few issues, a lot agreed that 2K16 played perfectly).
People whined and whined about their shots not going in and having a hard time getting past their defenders and scoring. They whined about how it was too hard and not realistic but what people don't take into account is that the learning curve of the game is the key. The game just came out...any game is hard when you first start playing and if it's not, the developers didn't do a good job making it challenging to have to learn to adapt. So a large amount of people whined about this and patch after patch, adjustment after adjustment, 2K caved and listened.
Fast forward months later and now a lot of people are saying the game is too easy or talking about these flaws with it. Again, I may be wrong but a lot of these animations weren't there in the beginning (such as the auto charge in the paint when someone ran in where you don't even get shooting fouls for them or the person that gets called for it isn't even trying to take a charge). There were legitimate issues that should have been taken out (such as the charge cheese in Park) but for the large part, gameplay should have remained the same. Now that everyone has mastered the game and learned releases and what crossovers/moves work on their guy along with the defense being dumbed down from what it was when the game came out...it's obviously ultra easy for those who know it. Everyone from offline players to Park players, you name it, they all know what works and what doesn't and because things changed for those who struggled at first, it's ultra easier and broken in some forms with stuff that wasn't there at first.
Long story short, 2K should have a window of a month or two after release where they just let people complain outside of legitimate issues that are game breaking. Then they can take actual matters into consideration that are detrimental to the game rather than detrimental to the player themselves.

This is 100% correct. I'm one of the people who LOVED the AI when the game first came out because it WAS challenging. But no, 2K decided to listen to the idiot children on Twitter who bitched and moaned about the game being too hard and now it's a breeze. I play on Superstar difficulty and I'm in the ECF with the 23rd ranked Knicks. It's disgusting. I just want an AI CPU challenge.
