Please Fix Blown Layups

[nike23EA]

Its beyond ridiculous in streetball...user side all players blow wide open layups while the cpu team makes circus layups all over the place and never miss, i dont know if its there as a kind of cheat so its harder to beat the cpu but when my 87 overall player misses 7 out of 7 layups (some wide open) followed by durant and lebron blowing them too, then see the same two and the whole cpu team on the other side throwing up stupid shots that go in its enough to make ya want to hit the power button and not fire the game back up.

I’ve played every game in the Streets and never seen anything like this.

The misses and makes have been as good as you’d expect.

Let me preface this by saying that I’m still debating about picking up the game. There’s things to truly like about this game and then there’s things that require work. This is strictly from my experience with 18’ and 19’s demo with NBA teams.

If ‘fixing’ layups for ‘The Streets’ means it’ll trickle down to affect other game modes including the NBA portion, then don’t. Layups in 18’ on Superstar were essentially guaranteed makes. Didn’t matter if they were circus shots, easy shots, hook shots, all kinds of shots. Users and CPU made layups along with any and all kinds of shots around the rim. I didn’t track the numbers, but it was definitely high.

19’s demo saw better percentages (mental estimates). I didn’t track hard numbers. There were misses, bricks. The rate at which they missed were much improved. I still dislike the animations for circus shots, but EA increasing layup success rates would set the game back. Pump fake, kick it back out if it’s congested.

Advice, use the L1 button to contest their shots. L1 (guard ball) is much more effective contest mechanism than using the L2 button.

post your in depth player ratings

I've only seen contested layups missed. People who miss are taking bad shots

I dont think a wide open layup is a bad shot? Ive seen this in live run some as well but not as frustrating as in the "streets mode" where it seems more prevalent and is only frustrating cause of the circus layups the cpu always makes and never misses. As for the ratings its an 88 overall wing scorer...just should not see the amount of (and again its wide open not contested) blown layups. I could care less about making the game artificially harder, just want realism and right now its not very realistic in that department IMO.

The game punishes you for playing out of control. I don't think I've missed a layup yet. I see a lot of players taking high risk/high reward shots/layups. As a result, I've seen a balanced amount of misses and hits.

I've got a decent layup rating (over 80).

But I don't know if I've ever seen a fully wide open layup missed. Maybe one at maximum.

There were some that were missed seemed like they could be open but someone was fairly close with a hand up

If anything people will be asked for layups to be toned down, personally I think they've stuck a great balance, when your that close you will make some contested layups, I see some contested go in and some don't, but all regular layups that aren't contested are going in.

I'm not sure your going to get any support on this thread
