But this should go down with the logic you guys are throwing out there. And it's LeBron James Especially when players "hear footsteps".... That happens all the time. Worst of all this video showing him missing one layup lol

How often will Lebron James miss a layup like that?

Maybe once in a blue moon and definitely not if he's being contested like the other player in the OP.

Of course they miss layups, but I said they don't miss many (especially "uncontested" ones). I totally get players are not perfect, no one is, but the missed layups in this game is bit too common. I feel as if it's scripted for the ball to roll out of the rim when I defender is just standing right under you. I've witnessed this many times this year opposed to the last couple titles.

This is why reading this is so frustrating. When I watch the play of users online even offline. People abuse the paint like nuts. And we're in a thread trying open up the paint. The right play here would of been to kick it out to the corner to the WIDE OPEN player. Yes Harden can make this layup. But there is a one percent chance because defender's are in the area. He misses. People should be looking for the best shot possible. In this situation he got the second best shot.

This is why I repeat. Every choice is not automatic. And never should be. I think people need to look at this game as. I have to get my team in the best position to win. The only thing that is perfect in this game. Is a green release. And even that you have to work really hard for.

But this video only shows one layup he missed. JUST ONE LAYUP. This is a lightly contested layup. So the door for a miss is there.

Badges are needed because shot blockers greatly affect all shots around the rim. I love the game as is especially when playing a good defensive team.

he showed one clip, he also said in the video that this happens every game, which I agree with him it happens multiple times a game just playing against the computer on HOF. For me it has killed my enjoyment of the game totally. They had this **** fixed in 2k17, I dont know why they went back

Floaters are trash this year . Even if you take the floater while you’re open, if someone contests it late it still affects the shot.
