What am I doing wrong (regarding online play)?

[DSGamer]

I'm really confused as to how things are going the way they are. The microbumps that cause my passes to be off. The bumps on the way to the hoop that cause chippies to miss. The players who step 3 feet behind the line and because of that extra space they always hit the 3. With LeBron or Channing Frye. Doesn't matter. I feel like there's a style of playing online that I never learned and thus I just can't compete right now. And it's really little stuff. The way the other team's AI gets into passing lanes constantly while my team doesn't. The way the other team seems to always draw a foul and I get bumped just enough to miss the shot, but not enough to draw the foul. I feel like there's an entire school of play that I've failed to learn how to play and that there's no point in bothering with it any longer.

I'm not complaining about cheese. It's been part of online games forever. I don't like it, but it is what it is. I'm literally asking for help with the thing people often say in response to a question like this. How do I stop sucking less? What am I doing wrong? It's not that I want to cheese, but I feel like I'm getting outclassed in every way possible and I don't understand why. I understand basketball. I just don't understand NBA2k14.

Sure, anybody that wants to play. I think it's 163-137

That's cool man. My record is actually 80-30 so I just wondered if yours was better.

I'm fine on online match up, it's my team I struggle with

Please do. My record is bad. And I'm afraid I've developed some of the same bad habits (driving too much) because of playing against cheesers. I guess I just want this game to be different online when I should probably just stop playing it. But I'd still be willing to play someone in a friendly game and learn. I have the game on 360 and PC.

Your doing it wrong by playing online. Seriously, unless you cheese, you can't win many games.
