I've had TVB for less than a week and haven't had these problems.  I don't
usually win against the computer but it isn't a slaughter either.  On average,
I'm shooting about 40-45%, with the computer about 58-63%.  

BTW, a fantastic game!  I love it!  Highly recommended, good graphics, great
play, and a good "feel" like real basketball.

One problem I had defending against the computer was that I would keep
chasing the ball with my currently selected defended, thus leaving the man
I should be covering and allowing him to be hit open.  A single press will move
you to the nearest defender to the ball, or will attempt to steal if you are
the nearest defender.  A press-hold will jump (or so it seems, again its been
less than a week).

On offense, make sure the shooters are open and have a decent "shooting"
statistic.  You might try some short exhibition, 3-minute, 2-on-2 games to
work on passing/shooting with a little less resistance from the other team.
