Does anyone have tips on finishing under the basket?

The CPU and other people seem to finish there no problem but I can't make a standing layup to save my life.

I'm looking for tips on finishing under the rim with bigmen. I'm making a Shaq build for REC/Pro-Am and I just can't figure out how to be successful in traffic.

If it's not a dunk I can't get anything to drop 1-on-1 under the rim.

In one of OGs videos he mentioned the "Wall up" transition settings. He said, that you can set this for the whole opposing team or only on specific players. Does anyone know how to do the latter? I was only able to assign this to the whole team.

Can someone tell me which settings/sliders I have to change in order to fix this problem:

As the defender I move back from the three point line to give someone like Andre Roberson lots of space, knowing he’s a terrible shooter. The problem is, I then have my PF or C leave his assignment in the paint, in order to cover off Roberson. Roberson then passes it to that now open man who is standing right under the basket for an easy bucket.

Put leave assignment on roberson and help defensive rules on auto. Let AI off ball Roberson you can user elsewhere. Trust in AI defender on Roberson to help everywhere. You should guard ball or protect paint.

I need help finishing driving layups please

The new gather system doesn't seem to respond to the old inputs

eg. reverse layups pushing opposite way of left stick direction often leads to weird leaning off the glass layups on near side. I've only triggered them by pressing down now but its inconsistent and sometime I go for floaters at the really wrong time.

Sometimes I'll tap square for a hop step gather and he'll just hop step into a very early shot that misses horribly - on 2k19 I would often hop step with square and then make the read on the layup or dish - so this is often ruinous for me.

I can be crossing the basket from the left to the right just past the charge zone, holding up right (1/2 o'clock) and I will do a left handed layup at times... if I press right he does a hop step and I can get blocked.

Also for driving dunks: they don't always trigger even if I have a completely clear lane (defender on other side of the basket or trailing), and I can get blocked - my driving dunk is 87 and I have gold contact finisher

has anyone got any tips please?

Things I've figured out:

using square seems to be more effective

pressing square closer to the rim leads to better shot selections - even if it makes more sense to just quickly lay it in from further back (smh)

letting go of sprint once you have the shoulder allows you to make more layups (still inconsistent levels of contesting - even after the patch today)

getting acrobat on silver sometimes I can just double tap square and make the layup but it feels cheesy and devoid of the skill I like to employ when getting to the hoop.

standing layups are best when stood almost directly under the basket now

Sorry if this question has been answered before or is a bit of a "silly" question, but can you still individually post guys up? Like bring up their icons and make them post up?

Re: NBA 2K20 Teach Me How to Thread: Tips, Mechanics, Defense, + Plays

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to create a custom draft class to use during MyLeague off-season?

This a post from another topic that kind of explains what I’m looking for:

Is it possible to be able to create a custom draft class to used during a MyLeague offseason? I’ve been trying to find out how create a class with some guys like: Kobe, Arenas, Len Bias, Tayshaun Prince, Grant Hill, Jamal Tinsley, etc. (most random class ever I know lol). Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!

Can anyone explain the “static” and “dynamic” settings in coach settings? Also “repeat on success”?

That's referring to the series play option. Static means the AI chooses plays sequentially through the list. Repeat on success means the AI will keep choosing that play until it doesn't result in a good shot.
