NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

Re: New Shot Meter

A perfect release doesn't magically mean the player can actually make that shot. I can release that scrap of paper perfectly any time from my desk, still can't make the trash can 4 feet away.

You do not practice throwing that plane everyday to learn the trajectory; bad analogy in my opinion. In a Basketball videogame a perfect release should indicate a perfect shot, why confuse people or anger them with miss shots unless they feel it was deserved.

A perfect release should be taking into account court position and the skill of the players character, that should be a major factor in a perfect release.

Seems like so much of this is caused by calling a green release a "perfect" release and giving it some gimmicky 100% bonus success rate.

It should simply have been an "excellent release". That way players wouldn't have been obsessed with hunting greens over playing basketball because a green effectively bypasses the sim engine when achieved.

If a "perfect release" with 100% accuracy must exist, then it should have been limited randomly, also capped by the sim engine. Even with a perfect button timing, there should have been a random occurrence of it happening based on player attributes and in game factors.
