Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

I can't take this shooting . Literally missing everything and squads are manually 1-3-1 zoning and you can't even make shots . The only people hitting shots are maxed out Ballers. It's frustrating .

False. I'm a maxed out baller and I'm bricking. It seems like whoever I play against doesn't have the patch. They're still dangerous if wide open. Meanwhile, I'm useless wide open (off of a pass, not running around)

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

I haven't gotten a single perfect release in the rec since the patch dropped . Nearly 20 games played.

I get them here and there, but it's annoying looking at the shot meter after I shoot, only to see the majority of my shots are literally ON the white line. I heard somewhere that the closer you get to the line the better chance of the shot dropping....I don't believe that for a second. I have better success with Very Early release.

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

I'm primarily an offline gamer and even with custom sliders, I absolutely loathe the shot meter. I run 12 minutes on Superstar, use my playbook nearly every possession to get the best shot possible, and play with Real FG & FT %. The shot meter is deplorable and a meta-game function at it's worst. What's more mind numbing is that even with real player FG % toggled, I can't escape it because shot success is still dependent on when you release the jumper.

Sliders bumped up to 55 and I'm still going 1-11 from mid-range on open jumpers off set plays with guys like Curry because it wasn't timed to the PRECISE millisecond. For the love of all that is holy, I hope they nix this mechanic in next years iteration or at the very least allow Real Player FG% to actually FUNCTION independently of the damn thing. I get that you're proud, but I shouldn't have to be tasked with the thing when I'm not playing with Shot Timing as my dependent in my shot success.

Factor in the shot meter along with shot fatigue and you have a rage inducing experience, and I personally don't play video games with frustration being the end goal.

I just don't understand how jumpers have a c quality if a guy is off you but open the best I can get is a b-

Online

Shot meter & shot quality are all screwed up. What 2K considers an open shot & what we think are open shots are not the same. I done ran Beal off double screens, wide open to only get an F grade & the meter is red while on the line for a miss. Then I come down & shoot a step-back 3 with Pierce with a defender draped all on me & get a B- grade for a bucket. No rhyme or reason to the madness. I'm at the point now I shoot anything I feel & if it falls great if not, I would of missed anyway.

Now people just select protect the paint & pack the lane & dare you to shoot from the perimeter. You can't even make them pay unless you got players with easy shot animations, because rating don't matter no more.

Scoring in the Paint is nerfed to keep shooting %'s low, I'm tired of making good moves on the block to miss hooks, fades, layups or a dunk. Teams with bigs who can dominate lose their advantage. Cause at the end of the day if I can manage to knockdown a few 3's I can beat you.

Offline

The funny thing about it is after all that I mentioned above the game is great offline on default settings HOF/Sim.

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

Online shooting is the worst thing they can do with the patch. Shots that you normally make now miss due to no other reason than to make it harder. Why the hell you want to do that? And you pumped up the defense?? Now every one have a hard time making shots....what the hell is 2K thinking. Also the lag is terrible after the patch. I wish there are as many game developers for basketball game as there are for shooter because this game play mechanic is screwed up online and online support is very dismal. 2K servers are outdated and can't support masses of people.

You want to enjoy the game but because the servers are so bad and laggy that it basically crippled the online gaming.

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

Just played my first game since the patch

Shot 17/26 - my best shooting performance on 2K15 (in MYCAREER). Went 4-7 from 3pt, but I hit my first 4 threes and the last 3 I missed as I got cocky and 1 was a buzzer beating shot.

Shooting has improved since the patch for me

I'm talking about online guy

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

3 point Shots online are broken. I can agree with this. I have 94 3 and I consider myself a pure PG. In the Rec I take about 6 shots a game, maybe 3 3s, wide open, I have been missing a lot.

I understand being sim and trying to get rid of abuse, but I've seen centers that shoot better than me.

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

Maybe this has been asked already somewhere.. But what jump shot and release timing has anyone been having success with online? (Park, Rec)

I don't know if it's just me but my player is as good as you can make a point guard in this game but my shooting percentage is worse now than it was when I played with my big (who I didn't dunk too often with). Meanwhile I see dudes all the time who are consistently hitting their 3's and their players are mediocre at best.

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

Same here, pre patch I hit wide open shots easily, now even when on the white of the meter it's considered late and bricks. This is all catch and shoot no zig zagging. I just played a game in the park where I missed like 4 open 3s in a row and I know most were perfect because the yellow color started a hair before the white line but is considered late anyway. Only one shot was green. The same game this baller was zig zagging making all his 3s.. wtf. I have enough yellow bricks to build a road to oz now.

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

And see the thing is, it wouldn't be that big of a deal that wide open 3 pointers aren't going in at a high rate if wide open mid-range jumpers were going in at a higher percentage. Unfortunately that's not the case. I miss wide open mid-range jumpers at the park and rec around the same amount as I do wide open 3's. That's garbage. The closer you get to the rim, the higher percentage the shot should be. 2K completely broke the shooting in this game after the patch. I've seen guys still make 3's after zig zagging, only for me to come back down the court and catch a pass off a drive, wide open, and brick it. Rebound, pass back to me, and brick again. That's ridiculous. If you want to make the game more sim-like, then make it more like real life. NBA players make about 70 to 80% of wide open shots. Have you ever seen these guys practice? Cut it down to around 50% so that it doesn't seem automatic online. It seems like it's around 30% right now in the game and that's WAY too low for open jumpers in real life, even for me and I just play ball at the gym.

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

Me and my squad actually found out you hit more shots off the dribble or if a guy is around you then wide open spot up. Which doesn't make sense. I don't understand shooting online

Re: Having trouble shooting since patch

Hof Sim online looks like the same great game it was before . it seems the difficulty has been increased for other modes which is causing u guys to live in brick city
