To me 2K17 difficulty is much more realistic than difficulty than 2k16 and much more fun against the CPU since Mike made those slider updates as well as the transition 3's.

I don't know what setting you are playing on or your skill level but I will say follow strawberryshortcake's advice, just felt weird typing that out oh well. You really need to play some on ball and off ball to cover for players coming off screens.

Your success in this game is tied to how well you know your team strength's and weaknesses and how to use them as well as the team you are facing. There is also a level of stick skill needed for creating space or attacking the basket. If you are a shot stick user timing then you need to practice your shots.
