I feel like post scoring in Pro Am is too hard

[ImInThis]

I have a 2 way post scorer that's nearly perfect. 7 245lbs Hakeem build. Post Scoring primary, Defense Secondary along with speed and decent rebounding

The only thing is, even with an 86 rating in post shots, I still miss. Even when I'm fully open. Am I just not good? I made a post shot Creator and pure scoring and they score when none perfect releases. Speaking of which, I've tried different releases already

It sucks cause this build can play good defense and when I get another strength attribute I'll have 93, enough to lockdown 7'3 340lb bigs.

Have you tried boosting your ratings ?

Before I go online I make sure all my key attributes are boosted from the news stand.

It can be the difference in greening shots or dunking in traffic..

Like mentioned boosting helps a ton . It feels like pay 2 win but that’s another topic.

I noticed for basic post fades close rating seems to factor the most . Drop steps and post spins should be unfuardable on your build . Up and unders are hit or miss . Very unreliable . Is your bruiser badge maxed ?

know the build you’re up against . I use nba 2k lab a lot. Think of it as a scouting report . Stay aggressive against sharp primary builds . Pick your spots with everyone else . I tend to bully smaller players in the paint . Bigger players I tend to force them out to the perimeter with midrange jumpers , screens , and high post ups . Then surprise them with a few cuts . You are most effective with people you know . Get hot before taking shots that seem more challenging .

Use the post drive too . It’s nice . A few post drive fakes will get your opponent off balance and open up your post fades a ton.

Speaking of fakes. I hear the spin move fake is dangerous this year. Should be fun.

2-way post scorer is pretty hard to post score vs all maxed out boosted players. Besides post scoring in general requires way more skill and experience than other areas. Real strength of the build is gold rim protector and pretty good ratings for a all-around style center.

I played around alot with post scoring this year, here some tips:

*For post fades you must find good combination of shot release and fade animation that works out for you. You really want to nail down release timing on every fade you take and its not easy with some delay online.
*you must master dunking right off the post up stance, its very important to know how to straight dunk without activating hook shot when opponents don't play straight up post defense and try to go to the side trying to force turnover.
*Simple backing down and drop stepping to put defender off play into out of bounds can work nice , but you can put yourself at risk for off 3 sec call if you don't have experience doing it.
*Elbow area great spot to receive ball and look for a post spin either direction, have room for teammate cut as well.
*Don't need to force post scoring, build is quite all around and can just be pick'n'roller with some spot up midrange shooting. Anticipate best moment for straight up 1v1 post scoring and always look for the passing opportunity (icon passing mandatory) .

So you boost your stuff at the newsstand ? The one right next to the walk-on Proam arena ??

Whenever I go to the stand it says it’s closed ??

You should get a message from your agent saying that he put a shirt in your closet as apart of an endorsement deal. Wear that shirt to the news stand . That’s how you unlock boost.
