Kyle Lowry Shot?

[darryl.oliver]

Hey guys,

Anyone else having major difficulty getting Kyle Lowry going in this game? I'm not sure if it's his height like has been a problem in previous year's versions of the game or something else. What drives me nuts is that the game acts like he's terrible. I have better luck with Cory Joseph (who is obviously a good player, but he shouldn't be better than Lowry in the game).

Any tips or anything? I try to just use him when he's wide open on the perimeter but that doesn't happen often and now I have played an entire season and he averages 8 points.

Anything you guys have on this I would appreciate.

His shot has felt a little better for me lately online but in my MyGM I changed his jumper to release 117, shot base 49 on normal (Quick or normal is preferential). 2K recently gave him the deadeye badge which helps. I also changed his layup package to LeBron. He hasn't been getting swatted at the rim every time now. He plays closer to himself with those changes.

His shot has always been weird. It should be a bit better now that they made 3pt shooting easier, but from the 80 or so games I've played with the Raptors, I've not once got to use him the way he plays in real life. Hitting transition 3's, 3's off pnr's where the defender goes under etc

The most I get from him is hitting layups over smaller point guards

2K doesn't have enough animations that uses the players' body and/or the rim to protect the ball from defenders. It makes players like Lowry and IT harder to use. Almost every time he goes inside and a player 6'6 and up meets him at the rim it's getting swatted.


If you're playing offline try
Timing: Quick
Release: 117
Jump Shot: 49
