Backcuts non stop

How can you stop backcuts? I set my defense to moderate on offball and it still worked for my opponent 9 times out of ten.

How can such a braindead mechanic win games? I am 50-15 in tier 1 and I couldn't stop a dude spamming backcuts. This game and the engine it runs on is beyond pathetic. Its an rng simulator. Garbage

rng simulator: I am positioned perfectly, will I get the steal or will the ball fly through my head and give up a free basket.

rng simulator: will I get a favorable layup animation or will I get a poor one and get blocked/contested

And a million other examples. My opponent switches every player and spams steal like a moron... with no consequences. His godly ai recovers in time. make it make sense
