Okay, so today I wanna talk about something I messed around with recently – layup packages. You know, those fancy moves players do when they’re driving to the basket in basketball games? Yeah, those. I’ve been tinkering with them in, uh, that popular basketball game, and I gotta say, it’s been quite a ride.
First off, I had to figure out what the heck I was doing. I mean, I’m not exactly a pro player, you know? So I started by just watching some videos online. And man, there’s a lot of stuff out there. People talking about timing, shot meters, all that jazz. Made my head spin a little, not gonna lie.

But I persevered! I started experimenting with different packages, trying to see which ones felt right for my playstyle. I learned that it really depends on what kind of player you’re using. Like, if you’ve got a tall guy, you might want a different package than if you’re playing with a shorter, quicker dude. Makes sense, right?
- De’Aaron Fox: This one is pretty straightforward. I tried this package, but it didn’t feel like my style.
- Long Athlete or Giannis: Someone said this one is good for big guys, but only if you have like an 88 driving layup. I tried it out and realized they need a specific skill level to use.
- Jimmy Butler: This is like the best all-around package if your player can use it. I found this one pretty versatile, it worked well for me.
I also learned a bit about how to actually do a layup. Sounds simple, but there’s some technique to it. You gotta keep the ball close to your body, then extend your arm out when you’re ready to shoot. Keeps your options open and makes it harder for the other guys to steal the ball. It’s more like an actual shot than just tossing the ball up and hoping for the best.
It took some time, a lot of trial and error, but I feel like I’m finally getting the hang of it. It’s not just about picking a package and going with it. You gotta practice, get a feel for the timing, and figure out what works best for you and your player.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure with layup packages. It’s been fun, a bit frustrating at times, but definitely rewarding. I am not going to pretend like I have mastered it or anything but hey, at least I can share what I have learned, right?
