Nearly impossible to hit two straight 3's in a row

Re: Nearly impossible to hit two straight 3's in a row

Do you play with the shot meter on or off? With shot meter off and shot feedback on (Not sure exact terminology right now but right under shot meter toggle). I shoot around 40% from 3 pt putting up roughly 20-23/game.



Also, believe it or not, I've hit 3 in a row (two on back to back possessions then end of quarter few possessions later) with Patty Mills.



I think most of OS goes by the shot meter as the bible for successful shooting, which, in my opinion, yields lower shooting percentage.



My friends come to my house to play 2K and what do I hear all evening....it was right on the line; that should be in! Go by the feel and rhythm of the shot while factoring in the top of the release and results will improve.

I don't use the shot meter, it became entirely too distracting so I play with it off. This is the first time I the series you can really "feel" a players shot.

I disagree this is the first time in the series as I did the same last year but I feel you man.

I also think (slightly cheesy) 2K16 rewards when you run a play set oppose to iso'ing for an open three or shot or dribbling until you find open space, even if you have more space after an iso or left right dribbling

If Klay Thompson did this with any regularity, then yes, we should call foul.


If Klay Thompson does this in ONE game out of 346 games played, and no one else does in some 50,000 48-minute games, then it's fine.


Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense to use a record breaking, historical quarter that's only ever happened once in NBA history as something that shouldn't cause suspicion if it happens in any remotely repeatable way.


Anyway, even with the average open shot make percentage, you should be seeing two in a row on open shots roughly half the time after a make with a good shooter. And three in a row 1/4 of the time. To never hit two in a row is actually statistically improbable, because random distribution even at 44% should cause clustering of makes, just as it would cause clusterings of consecutive misses.

Even if AI Klay did it one game, have you forgotten what message board we're on??

The sky would be falling and 2K would be labeled the antichrist to more than half the users here

Yes I started playing my team again, it's sad that I can't punish players for slacking off on d like this. It seems like people in general just let u shoot

Re: Nearly impossible to hit two straight 3's in a row

I tried this yesterday online and offline in a couple of games. It seems to be true. Couldnt make 2 3s in a row with gold Ray Allen, Eric Gordon, Paul George and Klay Thompson on several wide open opp. It def seems to be toned down after you hit the first. While it is true that it is more likely than not to miss the second looking at the real life shooting %, players do go on streaks in real life too and especially elite shooters start to hit 3s in a row before missing one and cool down.
I think this should be adressed by 2k.

Re: Nearly impossible to hit two straight 3's in a row

I'm kind of on the fence with this.

In the beginning I thought it was true.

But more recently I've been able to knock down back to back threes.

Both with separate and the same players. Pretty consistently too.

I've done it with Klay, Steph, the Warriors (Steph hit one, then Klay), Ariza, Sam Jones (Classic Celtics) and The 06 Suns (separate players). And this was just last night.

I even remember a game with the TWolves I had a while back now that Im thinking about it. Dude kept in this awful zone. I hit more threes than any game I've played so far. Wiggins was money. I honestly cant say with 100% certainty that they were back to back. But I definitely felt like a lot of them had to have been with as many as I made. I just kept hitting him with a pass from Rubio and he'd connect. I beat dude by at least 25.

I'm going to try to record some footage today. I keep forgetting that PS4 can do that. Getting old I guess. Not as tech savvy. Lol

Re: Nearly impossible to hit two straight 3's in a row

I have hit consecutive 3s with two different players but never with the same player, IDK if its a mind thing but I am getting to the point where once I make one with a player I don't even try to take another with him on the next possession, it sucks though because its hard to get a shooter hot playing like that.

Re: Nearly impossible to hit two straight 3's in a row

Yeah, i know it can happen.

It's just very very rare which is weird. 8/10 times, the second 3pt shot is gonna miss. Even if you are wide open. That's the part that baffles me.

I just had a game where I hit three straight. Different players. But three in a row. No other shot attempts in between. First two were with Klay. Last one was with Draymond.

I'm starting to feel like it's about as often as it happens in "real life".

But I feel where you are coming from.

I think it boils down to shot quality and the timing of our release.

If you make a three. Then look to get a second one, better make sure that second one is a REALLY good look and the player you are taking it with is extremely solid from deep.

I think this is where I'm at too....I've seen a couple lately....

I think it gets to the point where you start forcing that second once you think it's an issue....as matter fact I hit a back to back in my labbing video in the NDAlum thread...

Yeah. I also think it has to do with your skill with one guy.

Using the Spurs I could knock down back to back threes with Lamarcus. (Seems like people straight forget that he added that to his game and would leave him open lol).

But couldn't for the life of me with Danny and Kawhi. But when I think of it, it was hard enough for me to make ONE with either guy. Dont know what it was about their shot. But I would miss open shots routinely with them from deep.

So it makes since for me to struggle to hit two in a row with them when I am iffy from deep using them altogether.

Then it appears to be a "broken" aspect of the game because those are the guys I'm taking the most threes with. I'm just not a very good shooter with them to begin with.
