By default, layups are shot timing based so that could be a reason. Also, the defense is too strong on this game. I lowered the shot/layup defense strength to 45 and I also lowered the shot contest effectiveness to about 40. I raised the contact shot slider to 55, so that helps me make more layups.Why is it so hard to make an open layup?![]()
if you play on HOF, the shot/layup defense is set to like 55, which means it’s more likely your shot will register as contested (0 is open shot and 100 is smothered).





and these nikkas shoot slow as hell sometimes. Nikkas be wide open then take 5 seconds to do a step back three 
completely goes against what 2k's been teaching us for years
