AI offense and defense

[Toshiro]

In MyCareer, the offense of the opponent team I'm playing against is just basically making anything. Wide open jumpshots, contested ( Hand in the face ) jumpshots, fadeaways, layups, dunks, and the practically just drain threes like it is nothing. For example, they use the pick and roll and just shoot a three, when my teammate is stuck in the pick, and make it, I encounter this almost every game i play. Layups, even though you have Anthony Davis in the paint, a PG can easily score a layup when AD is in his face.

But on my team, team mates can't even make wide open jumpshots ( twos) and three pointers are worse, even for MyPlayer. Anthony Davis is a 93 ratings player, and he can't make a PG contested layup? Sometimes even a wide open layup.

They said 'Improved AI', I admit the AI has improved but it is the opponent team's AI and not my team's AI. When you run a pick and roll, they will switch or get another person get into the paint and wait, the defense on the opponent team is just too good. BUT for my own team, when the opponent runs a pick and roll, the paint is basically empty, and no help defense or switch in the paint and I'm stuck in the pick animation, thus decrease in teammate grade.

All I can say is, I can record 1 of the games and everything the developers said are not true. Steals in the game are smoother? No, I get more reach in fouls than steals. Won't get stuck in animations? No, I'm always stuck in an animation. The defense has improved? Yeah, only the opponent (CPU) team. There's so much more.

I hope you guys can share your opinions or are you guys also facing this problems. And another thing, the developers won't let you simulate your MyCareer games, which is kinda of a noob move.

Yeah, the opposing AI is pretty annoying. I also get a TON of reach in fouls, and a few times I'm nowhere near where it should be considered a foul. AI also hits almost every shot while firendly AI misses constantly and leaves opponents wide open.

Lower the difficulty a level for a while, sounds like the one you're playing at is too high.

It sucks that 2k won't see this since they dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about pc. I was about to post about this until I saw yours.Totally Agree!

[Liuksas]

Agree with you, my team AI is really bad. Charging fouls, reaching fouls agree. Another annoying feature, when you pass for you PF/C from other side of field, he will pass you back, and yes to will get turnover, for the backour violation. Omg. It happened me about 10 times.

Why the hell would you pass to a PF/C from your own half?

And they pass it back because (I assume you're a PG) you're the one making the plays at the perimeter.

Because he is on front, on quick attack. After steal or blocked shot. While he is not returned on def. They just could wait while I will come to take ball, not to return it to me immediatly.

On a fast break you pass to the SG/SF. It makes no sense to pass to the PF/C, so of course they give it back.

Agreed with everything the OP said. The MyCareer AI in this one is even more frustrating than in previous titles. Even on 'Pro' in MyCareer the opposing team can go minutes without missing any shots, contested or not. Teammates will suddenly run out of bounds, do a pointless spin move losing the ball, make a stupid pass down low when there are opponents in the lanes, etc. When this starts to happen it ruins the experience. I don't mind an unstoppable offense to play against but when my own team makes uncharacteristically boneheaded moves leading to turnovers it's just not fun. To add to that I've noticed that teammates will ignore calls for passes even though you're super wide open for shots...This happens more often when the game is close and the opponent is trailing.

Just use playbooks and chill. I won 4 finals in the row now on HoF/Simulation. Playbook is the best method for a W. If u a PG than much more, if not they will always tell u the best position and what to do...

??? The OP is about the AI not how to win. I've won multiple titles in MyCareer as well but it doesn't change the fact that the AI blows.
