AI never attempts layups & always passes out.

Where are you guys seeing this drive and kick option?

I go into CPU gameplan a see all the usual ones (pound the ball inside, pick and roll etc).

Played a quick game vs Bulls last night and they were attacking the rim resulting in 15FTA just by HT. Same sliders tweaks as before (driving contact at 100, inside shot tendency at 80, shooting fouls at 100). Haven't touched yet coaching team tendencies so overall I think 2K can easily nerf the drive and kick game. We just don't want them to eliminate it because this is the first iteration in a decade or so where the cpu utilises it.
It also leads to unforced TOs and we desperately need these in the game.

They fixed the drive and kick issue for the most part in last roster update. They addressed it through tendencies. They increased a lot of players attack strong on drive tendencies and decreased every players dish to open man tendency. The new philosophy is elite passers are in between 40-50. Joker, Haliburton is 50. I credit 2K for finding a solution without patching and breaking the game.

Does this include my era rosters?🤔

[atlwarya]

No not in my era rosters. It was only Modern era unfortunately.

Era rosters didn’t have the issue though since the playbooks are different. The 80s/90s teams didn’t play the drive and kick game before so there was nothing to fix.

Yeah, they must've worked something out over the weekend. My biggest gripe since release was the lack of off-the-dribble layups. Lo and behold, I cut on the game today and I'm seeing a good amount of driving layups during gameplay. My guess is that they folded the driving layup tendency into Close Shot. Probably was the plan all along, which would explain the radio silence from the devs in the (few) instances I've seen the issue brought up online.

Still feels weird to have a tendency that's been so crucial for so long just go away. But, hey, the AI seems to be playing with some sense today, so it's whatever.

What were they at previously? Trying to work out if the roster I am working on has this change (both Hali and Jokic are at 50) as I don't want to start again

[atlwarya]

Joker was 60 attack strong on drive and his dish to open man was 95. Hali was 50 and 85.
