There is no balance to this game. They absolutely favorite offense.
Clean blocks are a foul. No matter how much you put into defense unless you’re super Uber skillful and the opponent is bad there’s almost no way of stopping the drive. You can contest a shot and it will still go in 80% of the time. You can have a 7 foot with 95 attributes in offensive or defensive rebounds and somehow the opponent point guard that 6 foot five will out rebound you. I swear to God I wish they would get rid of the steal mechanic. It’s so annoying playing a rec game and every five seconds you’re gonna stop because of the foul for an attempt steal. And for the love of God and put more defense into the AI. As soon as I see AI in my team I know I’m gonna get farmed. I just wish the game was balanced.
