are you able to make contested shots? I'm struggling with that. I can only hit wide open shots.
I watch Kyrie the other day hit that shot on PJ Tucker and thought to myself. I thought to myself, that shot would be 100% smothered in 2k and would 0% chance of going on because the meter green area would be non existent. it's frustrating
You have to adjust the shot contest slider:
0=contests have little to no affect on the shot and you don't get a boost for open shots. You still have to be wary of the defense being played because defense can affect your release point and speed up your shot
100=shots are greatly affected by contests and open shots go in WAY easier
You can also adjust the shot and layup defense sliders:
0=most shots will register as "wide open" unless it's a clear contact layup with defenders present
100=the slightest contest will register as "smothered" and you will only see a wide open shot if no one is around you
I also lowered the on ball defense slider to 45 because at 50, I couldn't drive past Rudy Gobert on an iso, but at 45, I get past him easily
Last slider I adjusted was the movement sliders. I lowered both the minimum speed and acceleration to 25. Now I can get more fast breaks because bigs aren't catching up to me. I still get that suction cup defense on occasion. I just left the contact sliders at default tho (50 layup and 60 inside)
I use the same sliders for both user and CPU
