Need some settings/ advice help!

Alright, this season I got my behind kicked at level 1 in MyTeam.

My shooting has been off but I’m working on rhythm shooting now, I can see how it can be better once I get the hang of it.

Two real problems are my defense and layups!!

  1. feel like I am missing every contested layup. What setting does everyone use for that? Very frustrating!

  2. My defense I feel like everyone has an open shot against me, more so when I play on ball I feel like my guy is on skates, any advice?
