you said it right. SOMETIMES. not A LOT. Thats the difference. i'm blowing layups left and right in my career .with a guy that is already an inside scoring guard, thats 6'5 with a super long reach, overal is at 88. my athleticism and inside scoring is maxed out. there is ZERO excuse to miss layups like it does. Just like there's no excuse to miss so many wide open 3's even when released darn near perfect.

What 2k has done is what hall of fame mode does which is why i hate playing on that setting. this is forcing you to blow layups and miss wide open shots making sure no matter how hot you get, you never stay hot too long. so as to keep your fg%'s down into what they deem a realistic fg% for a game. to me thats not sim. the stats are sim. but the actual game being played isnt. you're artificially deflating my stats. if the defense leaves me wide open and i have a pretty darn good 3pt setup, and i'm darn near hitting perfect each time. that baby better go in at minimum 60% of the time. right now it goes in like 40% of the time. even when wide open. thats not real. that fg% of a guy like kyle korver is made up of open looks, running around screens, off the dribble, and being guarded. the open looks thing has not been analyzed yet. at least not to my knowledge. open meaning he was standing there feet set with a guy 5 feet away. WIDE OPEN. korver will splash that three 80% of the time.

this is an old 2kssue from way way back in the day i noticed while playing. i realized that guys with high stats in the block categories would automatically bring down your shooting percentage(even without going for a block or approaching the guy). as long as they were in the vicinity. like 5 feet away is close enough. you would brick layups left and right unless your guys inside scoring was 99 or something crazy.

but the funny thing in 2k16 you're blowing layups and dunks at times when there is no big man around. just some small guy and you still blow it.

this mentality will have us set back for years in gaming if everyone thought like this. "oh well it is what it is."

nope, i paid my money. and therefore i reserve the right to explain something i dont think is realistic or should be corrected in this installment not 2k17. THIS ONE.

if you want to just "take it" fine by you. that is your decision and i dont fault YOU for it. But i would have to ask, why post in a thread like this if you think that way? I really would like to know.

See there's one thing to post in here and say guys i know what you're talking about so here's how you remedy the issue even while still going up for dunks/layups, etc. perhaps there's a certain way you shoud hold the right stick. could be something else.

My point is that there's this misconception where people think ESPN highlights are the norm for a NBA video game. The common theme for most of these complaints are people are upset about the results, but they're not taking the time to analyze the steps they took to get there. Another theme is that people have the chance to practice to get better, use the advice being offered, or sliders to change the outcome of their actions, but they don't want to. The final theme is that some people are playing at a level that's above their stick skills.

Now, you're saying you're missing open layups left and right. In my mind, that makes you an outliner to this "problem". If you're missing that often, then I stop questioning the game, and I begin to wonder about the stick skills of the individual.

Based on what you're saying, it just sounds like your shot selection needs some work. Also, it sounds like you're wanting an arcade experience while playing on the highest level possible. Either you want a challenge, or you don't. Which is it?

Use the mid air adjustment if you get met. It works.
