Everyone still seems to think timing is the main reason the shots aren't falling despite word directly from the devs that mistiming will not hurt you. 2k just made contested layups a WAY lower percentage shot without doing anything about the game considering a guy standing on the ground not altering the shot as good defense.

Sadly I can see your points from my experiences. This may explain at least 80% my rebounds and subsequents attempts are going to fail. Again sadly, playing enough games now, it's predictable.

It's a double whammy approach that 2K kills us with:

1. Frustrations: Missed short shot animations are too fake for taller players playing above the rim. Near the rim, how many times in-real-life do we see AD, Cousins, Deandre, etc. simply trying to lay the ball up multiple times instead of dunking. Contrarily, a CPU-driven opponent rarely gets multiple misses in the same sequence. My players will simply not raise their hands.
   
2. MyTeam dings: Not only do you not get the expected points from the inside. your overall shooting percentage takes repeated hits if/when playing MyTeam Domination.
