I can't really help you with the press because I never press. I always run a mix of man to man, 2-3 zone, and 1-3-1 zone defense. I run 1-3-1 probably 45% of the time because it forces a lot of turnovers. I run man to man probably about 30% of the time and man to man around 25% of the time.
As for free throw shooting just release the right analog stick right before the player releases the ball. Also, to make free throw shooting easier, go to the gameplay screen and tweak the free throw success meter. If all else fails, just enable real free throw % which shoots the free throws for you. I shoot about 70% from the charity strope on All-American difficulty. Some games I'll shoot 14 for 15 while in other games I'll shoot 3 for 10. Sometimes I'm feeling it will other times I'm ice cold. Best of luck!

I use the Real FT % too. Have some awesome games (shooting 15 for 15 or even 90%+) and some horrible games where I can't buy a bucket (usually on the road in a loud hostile gym).
as for a press, you can try the 1-2-1-1. Your PF will pressure the inbounds guy (or shadow his point guard and try to tip or intercept the ball). The "2" guys will chase the PG when he catches the ball and you might be able to trap with your PF. the 3rd option is the 4th guy around the half court. The PG will usually throw the ball toward the middle to miss the trap and your 4th can intercept this if timed right. Just hope everyone else is running back because at that point your center is standing all by himself.
You won't get a steal every time, but you'll get a few. I've seen games where the PF will steal 3 or 4 times in a row for quick scores (much like Tennessee did this year, if they didn't get a trap right off the inbounds pass they were running back like crazy to play defense. But when they were on a roll, they'd steal 3-4 in a row and put up points in a hurry.
