This game has some of the cheapest CPU I have ever expereinced

Hall of Fame mode is just as bad but they take it to the next step - this is just off the top...

Transition Defense is definitely one-sided. You can never catch the CPU if they're running a fast break, even if they're running it with a Center whereas you a PG. However, if it is the other way around, the CPU will not only catch up to you, but interrupt your shot attempt 9 times out of 10.

Rebounding as you pointed out is terrible, but it has always been. The problem in this one for me is that (besides the CPU always having like x3 the amount of rebounds I get) my players for some reason love tapping the ball instead of grabbing and securing the rebounds. Then if I try to simply just box out, my character only decides to box out every blue moon.

Blocking is unbelievable. Sometimes I can guard the CPU exceptionally well up until the point they put the shot up. I can perfectly press the Y button in tune, but one of two scenarios will occur --- My character goes into a forced animation which delays his jump and when he finally does jump, it is too late | or even though I jump in sync with the shooter, the shot goes as "uncontested" (even the commentators point this out). If I do, by chance, get lucky enough to get that block, the CPU is almost always going to reclaim the ball because my players are just standing there awing at the ball...

Passing is ridiculous. If I am not mistaken, it says hold LT to make a bounce pass, but my players still decide to throw the bounce pass even when my finger is no where near this button. To make matters worse, they love throwing bounce passes through traffic, when it is painfully obvious that a lob or chest pass would be the best kind of pass. Not that it matters anyway because the CPU will more than likely intercept the pass, regardless of whether or not its back is turned or if they're no where near the ball.

CPU scoring is probably the most ridiculous. You can tell this is ridiculous because the CPU will literally give the ball to one character and go on a scoring rampage with said character, rather than run plays, etc. (Not all teams do this but a lot of teams do). I'm fine with someone like Carmelo or so giving me 30, but that's not the problem - it is the way the CPU scores.

Every time I play against the Bucks, Brandon Jennings literally cannot miss from the 3 point arch. Okay fine, chase him out of that vicinity and/or just play some good Man defense... Okay, when I do, he does that same runner/floater from the top of the key (despite you not being able to do it until about below the free throw line) and it always goes in regardless of the kind of defense. I try to the same floater/runner on a fast break (because I know if I try to get closer to the basket, the CPU's trailer will catch me, force some contact, no foul will be called, and I'll miss the basket), and to no surprise, I miss...

Every 2k has its kinks and this one is no exception. By no means am I raging though, I love 2k, it is just fustrating and unbelievable that in my Association (Memphis, pre-Rudy Gay trade), I am racking up wins (even blow-outs) against teams like Heat, Lakers, Thunder, but then lose poorly against the Wizards without John Wall, or The Rockets without James Harden; hell, I even had to quit a game against the Bobcats because things were too ridiculous (Marc Gasol, wide open lane to the basket off of a pick-and-roll --- despite the CPU being behind him, they can still somehow bother him enough to alter his shot and he air-balls... 7 foot (give or take), already at the rim, with the +5 dunking shoes on, and he changes his shot for no reason... and air-balls).

I don't like messing with sliders since it makes me feel scrubby, but I'm getting frustrated with how fast the ai takes off on fast breaks, nearly swishing every layup when I'm missing good layup attempts. AI defenders still have eyes in the back of their heads, seems like even if they're supposed to be a poor defender it doesn't matter.

Another problem, if I get beat my teammates just stand there like idiots allowing my man to score. These issues ruin an overall solid game.

I don't like messing with the sliders either.
