I have a question. Unless you create a defensive player, how do you play defense? My friend has the game and he is a 90 rated player now, but defensively, even though he tries to play good defense and doesn't take a lot of chances defensively (steal attempts, etc), every player he defends scores 40 or more point per game. Even the bench players, on a per 36 minute basis, average over 40 PPG. The AI just completely attacks him since he isn't able to get around picks, but even if he does, his own teammates get in the way and block him out. Even if he has a hand in the face of the dude he's defending, they still make a ridiculous number of shots. So, unless you set up a defensive player from the get-go, exactly how do you make your player better defensively, especially since the AI's game plan is to attack the human player since the human can't move as quick, for one thing. I mean the guys he defends (starter plus bench player) are scoring over 40% of their team's points EVERY game. His player just isn't quick enough to keep up, strong enough to get around picks, or good enough defensively to stop players even with his hand in their face.
