I'm having a really hard time scoring with my new post-patch My Player because I'm triggering a contested-shot animation on every possession. Rarely a foul call. There's three animations I see: 1.) under the basket, jump up and flail around and throw the ball up, 2.) under the basket, looks like he's going to attempt a tomahawk slam but ends up shotputting the ball, and 3.) anywhere on the court, I pull up for a jumper and the defender has his arms straight up and I do an awkward quadruple-clutch shot.
1.) and 2.) aren't a huge deal, I'm always in traffic when it happens so it makes sense. It's annoying if I grab on offensive rebound and have beautiful position right under the basket, but end up doing a weird Tyler Hansbrough layup, minus the foul call. But not a huge deal.
3.) is killing me though. If I'm barreling down the lane and try a jumper with a man breathing on me, fine, trigger that animation. The problem is it seems like I can never avoid it. The man guarding me will be 5 feet in front of me so I pull up for a jumper, and the defender will magically slide into perfect defensive position, standing straight up with his arms vertical. It's frustrating.
Players on both teams seem to be doing it too. Never noticed this pre-patch. What can I do to avoid this, other than only taking jumpers when there's nobody else within a mile of me?
Edit: Oh my god, I just started another game (still in summer league) and it's like the new cool thing to do. It's like everybody is modeling their game after Hansbrough... 4/5 shots taken by all players are one of those three animations.
