What's up with REC and all the contested shots?

I haven't been playing as much as I'm been on other games like Assassin's Creed Shadows. But as of late whenever I play Random REC, EVERYBODY is shooting contested jumpers. It's like they don't even try to find the open man or try to get open. A lot of catch and shoot with the guy all over them, resulting in a miss with a tight contest. It's not just low level players either, I'm seeing Veteran level players throw up these bad shots. It's like they have made their mind up to shoot in that very spot before they even get the ball.

But the guards be the worse, bringing the ball up the court, not even thinking about passing, only to brick a contested 3 that results in a easy transition bucket for the other team. I hate when 2k let's them make one, because that encourages the behavior, resulting in 5 more missed 3s in a row, our team down by 20, and the guards quitting by the 3rd quarter.

Frustrating games.
