NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

Re: NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

My best guess is that the meter will work perfect and then the scripting kicks in and you miss every shot no matter how well you are at using the meter.

The meter is not to replace actually shot releases so you really aren't "using " it. You aren't looking at players feet every time you shoot. Gotta learn the proper releases regardless

Re: NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

Not sure if anyone's already mentioned it or not, but one thing I wish they would fix like this are the Freethrows. I don't care how well someone knows Dwight Howard's release, there's no way you should make every FT because of that. What they're doing for the jumpshots would make even more sense for the FTs IMO, and that's across the board.

Even Ray Allen will miss from time to time, so just because you get the release down pat shouldn't make it an automatic bucket each time, it should just give you the best chance to make the FT.

It's tougher this year. I'll let Dev. speak to it, but from my experience, it's tougher to hit free throws (in a good way) this year.

Good ish ld. Yall really trying to make me put down 2k11 with 15. Nothing worse than watching deandre jordan and drummond shot 80 plus from the line every game. Look forward to fouling these dudes everytime they try to score. Ha.

Also CPU makes too many FTs. They all shoot above their real life averages. Howard is like 65% or something and all the good guards are like 90+.

Meh, sounds ok, and at worst you can change it in the settings. Thanks for the info Mike!

This is one of the most frustrating things, it feels like all CPU players at the line are between 80-90 percent when i play, no matter who's getting fouled.

will the free throw difficulty slider still be in game with the new shot meter?

if so, does it make the "perfect" window smaller/larger or does it just in general change the overall success rate

Most likely a ratings boost issue. Something like this came up last year most people on OS that responded in the thread said that FT shooting should behave like shooting in 2K14. Basically the release only give you a portion of the success and the rest is determined by ratings which makes it very hard to turn Dwight to a 80% shooter

Just be reading LD2K's response I have a feeling they made the perfect release timing window slightly smaller.

Make it like the Dreamcast days where you had to hold lightly the LT+RT triggers to shoot freethrows.

Awesome! The foundation is already there from 2K14, all it needed was refinement, similar to how 2K11 was the new template that 2K13 (IMO) molded to perfection for the previous generation. Sounds like we're heading in that direction and I can't wait...

HA! I forgot all about that technique. I wouldn't mind that coming back either.

Was it with the ugly squares on the screen ? I don't really remember. I would hate to have some random crap on the screen though.

EDIT: there at 6.20

That thing takes the whole screen. Tewwwible.

Game still looks good though.

I don't know, I don't want to miss a free throw on a perfect release for the heck of it...

Re: NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

Do I still have to deal with this in 2k15?

Og said that the first one has been corrected. The worst part of 14 to me.

The second video is not as irritating but thos extra bs points add up. I am confident that both things have been corrected. I get the vibe they on their grind this year.
