    Issues In-Game Against Lebron??

    Hey 2k community, I've been having nagging issues w/ Lebron since day 1 playing 2k17. This issue only occurs in-game when you play against the CPU. Lebron doesn't take enough shots, isn't aggressive and all of his stat lines are low by the end of the game (even playing 10 minute quarters) Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving ends up taking 30+ shots and does the bulk of the scoring for the Cavs. Is this a known issue for you guys? Is there a recommended fix? Lebron seems to average fairly realistic numbers when simulating a season via MyGM but it's pretty apparent theres an issue when playing against him in-game.

    Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated.

    that's because roster tedencies are seriously messed up.
    don't bother with official 2k roster. even 2k doesn't seem to bother. lol.

        You can always edit their tendencies yourself. Tedious process, but it's the only other solution aside from waiting for a roster with proper tendencies.

          Its because the default roster have Kyries touches (90) higher than Lebrons (88) in combination with Isolation being Kyrie's 2nd play priority.

          How to fix:
          Give Lebron a 90 for touches
          Give Kyrie an 85 for touches
          Change Kyries play types to: 1) p&r ball handler, 2) p&r point, 3) isolation

          Give Kevin Love an 86 touches if you want him to get more use.

          This should replicate real life better.

          I spent so much time on my fictional roster that i couldnt get around to an NBA one. Maybe i will work in reverse order for 2k18

            Besides upping the touches/shot tendencies, I also have certain guys with 98 for offensive consistency for their attributes. I don't touch the shooting attributes though. This helped me get Giannis, Jokic, and others simulate much better and consistently get 20+ points. Especially if your roster is from way early on, I would look to update the superstars/superstar potential consistency ratings.

                So thankful I'm not the only one experiencing issues like this. Thanks for all the input guys. I'll give these tips a shot and see how it improves. Feels like 2K should be aware of this issue though and address it in a update or something. But they probably dont care.

                  AI LeBron has been this way on every 2K I can remember. Actually this 2K he's more aggressive than past 2Ks in my experience.

                  Kyrie definitely plays like himself though and is maybe the hardest to guard on this game with how aggressive he is and his crossovers. LeBron definitely needs to be represented better in 2K though AI wise.

                      It's not that they don't care. A 2K dev responded sometime awhile back that they're basing the tendencies for shots and touches on real life stats as the season goes on. I don't know if they regularly do that (and they probably don't because I manually change the tendencies myself for my custom roster), but I think it'd be unfair to them by saying they don't care at all. I think some of them are really trying, but it's just not been given the proper focus needed.

                        Roster is real nice. I like how the potentials have been increased on superstar players too, its crazy how every top level player immediately starts regressing after one season.

                        How do you use a custom roster in Start Today?

                        I don't wanna sim a whole season and risk having all my players get hurt but **** playing up until now lol

                          I always wondered if this is the case, why does Deyonta Davis has a 30 shot 3 tendency when he has 26 open shot three and has not shot a three pointer in his whole career?

                            Hey, don't shoot the messenger lmao. I saw it posted awhile back in another thread. No idea which specific one, though.
