This is sooo important. Years ago Czar's explanation about how creating new systems can take an entire dev cycle emphasizes how finding solutions in the current game is paramount. Sliders FTW.

I chuckled reading this [emoji23]. But you're spot on...the AI doesn't perform actions that are low percentage or don't work. That it prefers contesting over drawing charges shows you how badly skewed that part of the game is.

All true. And the simple truth is we don't want EZ-MODE..as it shatters the skill gap. Call fouls--it'll only make the overall game better. Effective contests from "beat" position from JJ Redick should be super RARE. The play below (or a whistle) should be the norm.
