By default, layups are shot timing based so that could be a reason. Also, the defense is too strong on this game. I lowered the shot/layup defense strength to 45 and I also lowered the shot contest effectiveness to about 40. I raised the contact shot slider to 55, so that helps me make more layups.Why is it so hard to make an open layup?
if you play on HOF, the shot/layup defense is set to like 55, which means it’s more likely your shot will register as contested (0 is open shot and 100 is smothered).
