When they're in the proper context they can be very nice. I stopped using the shot stick tho because I couldn't get a hang of the gathers and they'd trigger when me trying to trigger them. Probably just a stick skill deficiency though lol

I feel like smaller players get the benefit of the doubt more often. I get swatted a lot and miss reverses like crazy online.

Rec is completely different than PNO tho.

It doesn't trigger on every animation (maybe Im just inputting wrong or too slow) but these adjusted layups feel better this year. Here's an example where it is functionally useful and not just good to look at. LaVert is going to get blocked on his right hand, I flicked left and he got the shot off on his left.

They definitely are improved. Layups across the board feel amazing. I was playing in MyLeague and Harden was destroying me finishing at the rim. I always play on-ball and the way he was finishing was a "Wow" moment for me. Also branching into different lay-ups is a great tool for getting foul calls. It's so intuitive this year and I've gotten some great animations this year.

I do agree with the floater criticism and general close finishes being too slow. It's so annoying to not be able to take advantage of a successful pump fake.
