That's because not a single player is trying to get a steal desperately like kids on MyTEAM.
Online community ruins this game more than the game itself. I play mostly offline and I assure you I have TONS of fun playing MyGM with a simulation approach.
You normally don't see people playing the post in this game. Offensive strategy is PICK AND ROLL ATTACK THE RIM OR OPEN IT FOR THE THREE POINTER. Or you can also get the "run over every defender to get to the rim".
That's all they got.
Defensive strategy: mash the steal button and try to take as many charges as you possibly can. Possibly double team. Be a Crybaby when things don't go your way.
I repeat, it has its flaws, they are many, but online gaming in this game is pathetic, and in most part it's because of its community.
