How are they shooting from 3% though?

Just played a game (Timberwolves vs bulls) and i was up 4 at about 3 minutes left. Wiggins missed a free throw after that my cpu teammates basically just gave up the game. They lost cutters, They left shooters open, also fast break defense is terrible in this game is terrible. Anyway we ended up down by 9. closed the gap somehow but still ultimately lost the game. The game is great. it's actually the best 2k game to date. It's just the cpu can sometimes ruin the experience by breaking the realism of the game by trying to create a challenge. It's makes me not care a bout winning or losing because i know the cpu can just do anything it wants to win and there's nothing i could do to stop it. Sliders may be needed, a few touch ups here and there should do the trick. CPU also doesn't shoot enough 3s. Very paint orientated this year. every team only shoots about 16 3s a game, probably due to how hard it is to make jump shots even with space.

Have to agree with this post, a great game is being ruined by the AI letting Bigs just walk into the paint for an easy lead pass, for every great defensive stop you have 2 or more uncontested or late contest because of a players standing out of position, got a few offensive 3 seconds calls because I had a guy standing in the paint guarding no one, and don't let me start on the 3rd quarter runs.

What is pass target presets in the controller settings?

Was just playing as the 96 Bulls vs the Cavs. I was down by 17 points at the half when I started to use the center exclusively on defense and let the cpu control everyone else. I won by 7 points.

After playing 3 different regular Play Now games and plenty of MyPlayer I must say I have never seen a game make such a HUGE leap in one year. I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! The CPU is ruthless on defense and each team plays a distinct style. One example of this is when I used the 97 Spurs against the current Spurs...they couldn't be more different. 97 Duncan plays totally different than 2015 Duncan....and it is noticable in an amazing way.

I love how the CPU adjusts on D....and the game forces you to use a different strategy throughout each quarter making each possession valuable. Cannot wait to get more games under my belt! GET THIS GAME....

I love the flow and the feel of the game. Love the defensive abilities. Seems like I'm leaving a lot of points on the floor right now. Any tips?

yeah this really drags the game down for me. Cheap play isn't a good substitute for good AI. Every game I play follows the same pattern. Through 3 quarters I'm great, if I have a lead in the 4th, my players turn into idiots. They can't dribble, they can't pass, they can't shoot, and they constantly leave their defenders wide open. Don't even get me started on how they can't defend a simple pick and roll even though the first 3 quarters they had no issues.

I hope this gets patched. I love close games and don't want easy blowout games, but having cheap AI like this just takes me out of the game completely.

Here's the thing tho. In the NBA, if you're driving and the defender bumps you, impeding your movement, that's a foul 100% of the time. This is just cheese defense on the computer's part.
