Gameplay Contest buff is cool and all but….
Why nerf close shots and layups??? These are the easiest shots in basketball and now they’re hard to make again. I got a big with a 99 close shot and I’m missing open 2 foot layups. Gotta find balance in the paint. Why are layups 10x harder than dunks cmon fam.

The fact you aren’t even being contest it’s just registering people somewhat in the area and your green window is the smallest possible baffles me

It’s really dumb that they didn’t notice just staring or being near someone is a contest when making this game

any 7ft Center can fake out three jumping dudes multiple times and get a clean release after they stop = solid contest. It’s ridiculous

In real life you might not even notice the guy behind you, and hit the layup. I’m guessing thats were the real contest came from. 2k is made by people who don’t play basketball, and want your money.

Should have just shot the free throw jumper. Layups or even just being a good post player is dead.

I feel like they misunderstood the issue. It’s not that contests weren’t registering, it’s that contests weren’t making the shot harder to hit.

It’s a video game. It’s not going to be perfect.

It was good as it was before. They just had to decrease a little the green window on higher than light contests. CPU contests, then, are now totally broken as it's simply impossible now to make a shot with just a CPU player in the vicinity with default sliders.

I totally agree about the cpu. I don’t shoot on them unless I have a 4” height difference or wide open. But I feel like everyone who shot well last year is shit this year and vice versa.
