Moving mid range shots are the worst shot in basketball right? No, apparently it's standing layups.

Gameplay

Realistically, the mid range shot should be the highest risk/ lowest reward shot in basketball. Obviously, that's not the case in 2k26. Just pick any star perimeter player in the NBA & you can zig zag to your hearts content & green just about any middy or moving middy with absolute ease.

But 2k, why not give the same love for standing layups? Why do Durant & Curry & Lebron & Booker & just about any incredible finisher turn into a joke when there's a warm body between them and the rim? Amen Thompson can dunk like crazy, but heaven forbid he's not turboing to the rim & has to take a standing layup over James Harden right?

Really can't do much in the post unless it's a fade this year huh?
