If it's "fixed" prepare to see NBA jam shot % 2k should just stop hand holding and take out all these "help" mechanics. If they have made A+ shots go in at extreme rate with no regard for individual ratings, it will hurt the game

A bit off topic but some people are really underestimating just how good some of these shooters are. Guys like Allen and Curry usually knock down practice shots at ~80-85%. Third link shows Mike Miller making something like 17 shots in a row, missing one, and then back to business.

Shooting at a 60% clip is good in practice, but good NBA shooters are way better than that.

Edit: On topic though.. They should just do away with the ratings all together. Just have a notifier for timing and nothing else.

Re: shot Ratings need to go in 2k15

imo it should be..

release time "very early, early, perfect, late, very late"

and contested "heavily contested, contested, slightly contested, open"

Re: shot Ratings need to go in 2k15

What's the difference? If I shoot 60% of my jumpers after spending a month on it and have "mastered" my release as you say, I'm still shooting 60%. Good shooters come often and they've been working on their shot all their life. They can shoot 60% and it's still the same percentage as shooting 60% after working on it for a month.

Why does it even matter how quickly you can obtain a formidable jumper? The point is, just being able to hit jumpers will not get me into the NBA.

EDIT: One last thing, you keep stating to master your shot and get "extremely good". If you're a great shooter who has "mastered" their shot, no doubt you will shoot at a higher clip than 45%. Again, why are you bringing up the month timeline? It makes no difference if I became "extremely good" at shooting open jumpshots within a month or a year. It's still under the assumption of being a good shooter, doesn't matter how long it takes you to get there.

i brought up the 1 month timeline because i assume most op sports posters are scrawny nerds who have no idea that you miss open shots in basketball, even perfectly released wide open jumpers. my point was to go outside your house and master your shot and prove to me you can make more than half, heck i will settle for 34%, of your wide open jumpers, you cant. and neither do nba players. you may have seen a video where mike miller knocked down 20 threes in a row, but that is when he got hot. he averages out to 70-75% on those when he is not in game.

I have no problem with that but that doesn't doesn't give you feedback of success related to the type of shot taken. I still think a letter grade should be there but it should be the total of all of that plus ratings and tendencies.

I think some players jumpers should be very hard to contest just off the type of lift they get and ability to create space off the dribble. There would be be so many more fouls. Especially that you have to let the players land now.

Durant on pull ups jumps high and has a high release don't even bother

Gerald Green is a high elevation jump shot taker

Westbroook gets high elevation and high release. I always cringe when I see someone close out in game on jumper to effect his shot just because he jumps high. Let me tell you it is not happening without a high risk for fouling him

Jamal Crawford high release and can pull up off any one of his iso dribble moves gets good elevation.

Steph Curry's release is so quick off the dribble again he can shoot out of any dribble he performs despite not getting that high of a vertical.

Re: shot Ratings need to go in 2k15

when 2k gets that kind of gameplay, i probably wont even touch anything else.

prettymuch all you can do for that kind of stuff is high shoot in traffic ratings since that essentially nullifies contestion

Re: shot Ratings need to go in 2k15

There should be no such thing as a shooting grade, casual players see A+ and think it will go in 100% of the time. When they miss, because nobody makes all of their shots they get mad and think the game is trash.

We need a visual cue so we can know if we got the correct release,and we also need a visual cue to know if the shot was a high quality one.

Look at a guy like tyreke Evans or Ray Allen, these guys have ridiculous releases. You may think you have it right, but then you see you were slightly early or slightly late.

Don't you know if it was a quality shot or not ?

I didn't say anything about not having any indication about release timing, but there should be no grades. Just this.

Depends. If I'm playing with a team I don't know well, I may not know everyone's talents. So if I take a mid-range shot with someone who has a low mid-range rating, the feedback should let me know it wasn't a good shot selection.

I think they just need to rework the logic. A+ quality shots should be more difficult to come by, and poor shot selections should not go in as often as they do.

Not necessarily, there's been plenty of times when I've taken a shot with what I feel was good spacing, only to get a low grade for shot selection

Are you shooting with Dwight Howard?

Re: shot Ratings need to go in 2k15

no its a problem with the game itself where you can be wide open and get a bad shot rating for being contested even though the defend is nowhere near you lol.
