The right release = green , late = red=slighlty late/early= yellow.
The release can be right but the situation will cause a miss with ratings and defensive pressure applied

It's a key component. A guy that perfectly shoots his shot, makes it. Now if they will make this work by saying defense lowers the likelihood of a perfectly released shot, I'm fine with that. That or that guys will have specific ranges they work from best, I am fine with. Being told that perfectly released shots don't always go in simply doesn't work for me.

in 2k we have these numbers called ratings that are a big factor in determining shot success. If a player has a garbage midrange rating he shouldn't be able to do this on HOF SIM just because i get a " EXCELLENT" release.

You guys hear the word perfect and think automatic 2 points even when the game says EXCELLENT when using meter or alphabetic shot feedback at the top of the screen.

All 2K would need to do (other than what Beluba said earlier) is change the wording to "Great Release" or "Excellent Release" and this ENTIRE PROBLEM could be avoided.

So many people just like you are thinking "it says Perfect, so it MUST go in. Perfect is just that: Perfect. No flaws. Make the basket."

I seriously hope 2K renames it to Great or Excellent...otherwise people will be continuing to try to make three-pointers with Dwight Howard.

is it really the masses? i think it's just the kids personally, i didn't know many adults doing all the cheese that the kids at the stage were doing, now it seems like everyone has a demi-god or cheeses, but then i realize all the adults i knew that played the game left 2k behind a while ago hoping they don't break 2k16 like they did 15

In your attempt to be a condescending you either missed or purposely skipped the many context clues I added to make clear I am speaking exclusively of a perfectly released shot.

If the shot has an A+ release. It should be going in. Reasons being the player was within his range and perfectly released the ball.
