Re: NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

And does this shot meter also tie in with signature skill shot % increases?

Re: NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

are people really complaining about being good with the r-stick is cheese or did i miss-read some posts?

please clarify it in 1-3 sentences not a paragraph (my eyes hurt from the DMV)

I think people are saying that you shouldnt be able to make a player shoot better than he can in real life no matter how good your skills are.

At least that was my point.

Re: NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

I understant that nba2k is a franchise that have a lot of users/fans that play the game like it was nba jam, and as maximum they set a p&r to get to the rim. The casual and not-so-casual players/youtubers - it is a fact, you can see it in their videos - that play that way have their right to do it. BUT the ones who wanna play like real basketball executing plays and sets to actually be able to score, the ones who want to play defense making manual D helps and trying to read the offense of the opponent as he plays real basketball, that ones have also "their right" to play the game like it was a real basketball match.

SO, if 2K wanna catter casual and non-casual-but-not-sim-players, and they also wanna take into account the sim ones, why not give two modes in the same game? In a more explicit way than nowadays at least. The first one, 'ala' nba jam, wihtout having to execute plays and only isolating or doing one simple p&r; the second one, executing plays from the simplest to the most complex.

Anyway... the shot meter seems to be pretty interesting, =)

I think that's unrealistic and user skill should play a role in those abnormal games from role player or great scorers. A role player can have those games where they look like the best player on the floor and great scorers can have games where they struggling. I understand the point you're making and I agree with it in terms of riding 2k of "2k players", like jr smith. But getting rid of the possibility for a player to go off or struggle isn't the answer to me.

But it's coming???

As an option for layups next year maybe??

*prays* lol

But really...if you added this on layups this would help define skill vs luck

That would be annoying. How does one time a layup release? Wouldn't it be a the same for each player?

What next, a dunk release? Lol. Certain things should be left alone

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I have no problem with a role player getting hot and getting a ratings boost when he gets hot. My point was you shouldnt go from being a 70 three point shooter to a 75 three point shooter simply because a person has mastered the shot release. Because, that shooter would always become a 75 shooter hot or not and the ratings would be irrelevant at that point.. My bad if I wasnt clear.

I think Mike generalized the word probably and means most likely. I do that all the time as well.

It mostly happens at the 3pt line

[JayAtkHar]

This means my raptors and Knicks are going to be shredding that 3point line in nba 2k15

The ending bullets were the best, Beluba anticipating all of the questions! He knows the community too well! I'll definitely be trying out the Shot meter.

I will too. If it makes the game more sim and realistic, I'll try anything.
