Does every single made basket still hit the rim if you play on real player %?

Has this been a thing? I've been seeing swishes on Real Player %.

But that is not even close to what ANT looks like even if they tried. so why bother change it in the first place? just to say ow yeah we did update him...????? why not fix the proportion of the face in 2k24 which is already in their data base and just adjust the hair to shorter..because im pretty sure they did not break any agreement in there since its already in the game?? is that how it works?

That part I can’t explain as they could’ve gotten some of the features closer (like the hair as you mentioned). I haven’t looked at Ant a ton, but I’m curious if they use the generic hair do guys like him who don’t have a CAP scan but not a real face scan.

Because if that’s the case, then it would make sense why the features aren’t closer.

and for online leagues real player % is not even an option, because they disabled this option for online games. offline games in an online league (so against CPU) it still works, but as soon as you plkay against a human opponent it has no effect... I hate it...give us shot timing profiles or at least no shot timing at all back!!

It's scandalous that you can't even choose the "Real Player %" option as soon as you play against a human opponent. This is a huge step back, especially after a game like NBA 2K25, which offered so many possibilities.

Honestly, their latest update is just like the game itself: a complete joke. The issues are everywhere. When you go into the defensive settings, the menu is still a mess, blinking like a Christmas tree. The shot feedback completely spoils whether the shot is going in or not, which is an issue they supposedly fixed years ago.

The gameplay itself feels just as bad. Dribble combos are still so choppy; trying to do a simple size-up with Curry without accidentally triggering his in-and-out dribble is a challenge. We still don't have access to proper defensive strategies through the OTFC menu, like choosing defensive presets or setting the defensive rebound intensity.

Frankly, I can understand why former members who became developers don't even dare to come here anymore. They must be ashamed of what the game has become, as their priorities are clearly a world away from what they were in the 2010s. It might not be the developers' fault : it could be the publisher, but regardless of who is to blame, they have nothing to be proud of with the current state of this game.

Sure, there are some good things, but the passion just isn't there anymore. Everything feels rushed and messy, and the game's qualities are no longer enough to hide the increasingly mediocre and sloppy work behind it.
