This is in Park obviously, but the issue lies beyond park and has been happening for years.

We have fadeaway 3's going in, posterizers over 2+ people. Cool. Can we PLEASE have bigs finish these types of layups? This goes beyond "NBA players miss layups"

Bigs already feel like a dying breed. This just makes us look useless.

Why you going up so soft there?

But no, I agree.

They really hate bigs getting easy shots. Half court 3's no problem but a 7 footer hitting a standing layup? Nope.

I'm telling ya during a mocap session years ago Shaq probably ate Mike Wangs lunch. Next gen is here and the bigs are still being punished for it.

Yeah I remember I had a thread a couple years ago where I posted about 25 videos of me missing bunnies. It’s either you miss a wide open one or somehow the guy on the other side of the hoop or behind you “contests” you and you blow it. I probably go back up with offensive boards 1 out of 10 times and usually regret it.

Haha I like the theory that Shaq just punked Mike Wang so bad he holds the grudge forever forward -- since that's what Shaq does too

I'm guessing you have little standing dunk, I still don't see why your guy didn't automatically dunk it though... Even then, it's a professional basketball player, a layup is a layup.

Even a player with 50 layup, if they get a layup that easy they are always going to make it, they are professional basketball players.

I agree, they definitely need to fix this, especially with a player like yours with 92 layup.

I wish that was it man...maybe it would fall under some kind of logic even if flawed, but my standing dunk is a 95, lol

Some players are just soft, it's in their DNA.
