Re: 2K16 has totally killed contested shooting

Lol you still playing the "My(Online)**** is bigger than yours" card?

And then have the nerve to say "they lack the gameplay experience"? Lmao are one of ya'll playing a joke by having two accounts and trolling us with this account?

Ha-ha that's what I think is happening. When these new guys come already talking about experience. I laugh really hard.

Re: 2K16 has totally killed contested shooting

To be honest, all I'm really reading is 'I wanna be able to chuck up bad shots and make them!'

More like if I want to faceup with Melo, Kobe etc and give them a jab step or two, the tiny bit of separation should be enough to be able to hit the shot far more than you currently can. Same goes with Curry who seemingly cannot hit anything unless he gets really good separation.

It's an issue in this game and the blind defending of 2K from the usual fanboys is embarrassing.

It's already been noted that some contributing factors are being addressed.

but even as it is now: making these shots is possible with superstars . Video has been posted of such. Individual instances and raw gameplay instances to back up those claims. You ignoring these and copping out with the whole "fanboy" angle is more embarrassing than anything and ruining your threads credibility...you said you were posting a video earlier as well, where is it?

Re: 2K16 has totally killed contested shooting

God damnit... We've already had "contested layups" adjusted and "wide open" 3s adjusted and now y'all complaining when someone plays good d.

Play career on rookie of you wanna make every shot. In tired of hearing people complain about his defense!

i know what u mean bro...it used to be great to come here and discuss and get feedback from a user perspective on experiences and getting a better understanding of real issues vs misunderstanding. .........

But it seems to have gotten too "SIM" around here...its like its not ok to constructively criticize NBA 2k without being asked for a video or experience ID...

the satisfaction of better understanding a users criticism gets lost easily with the usual defenders who will deliberately insinuate YOUR the problem post....

many of us are guilty because we want the game to fit our needs first and far most over fitting a balanced one

Basketball is hard to replicate in a video game probably if not the most but right up there hardest when it comes to sports video games...

In video games the key fundamental or philosophy to maintain is the key word BALANCE...but here lies the problems for sports games because sports are never balanced...they will always be better players, teams,coaches and in this case users...

so if Steph makes ridiculous shots while guarded then by all means it should be there...

so yes i agree with the OP...not because it benefits me but because he is right...

but from my experience it seems shoot off the dribble/ pull up jumpers seems to be way too inconsistent vs spot up shooting...its much more rewarded to spot up shoot than to try and shoot of any motions like step back or pull ups......and since we are on shooting, can plz get rid of automatic shooting fouls after pump faking plz? ��

you said it all.

There is no reason that a wide open shot % are so much better than contested ones. Should contested
be worse? Of course

But it can't be to the extend on 10% or less. We have reached to a point where all I need, is not to play great defense, but try to run with my defender towards the attacker who tries to shoot. I don't play D, I don't raise my hands, I do not jump.

I just run towards him

Result is my opponent loses 90% of these shots.

Does that make me a great defender?

You can blame 2k15 (particularly patch 4) and the cheeseballs last year for this.

True, patch 4 was a disaster.
I don't blame the cheesers. The cheesers will always exist and try to exploit the weaknesses of the developers of every game (half-court inbound pass and turbo in 2k16)

But even in patch 4, wide open shots were dropping in a rate of 70%+.

Problem was you could get wide open standing shoot by just zigzaging.

If you as a defender managed once in a while to adjust to the zig zaging and run towards the shooter he would miss again

Do you guys post to get tips/help or do y'all just want an outlet to complain ?

Noone provides tips/help, because to do this you need to aknowledge that the OP has a point.

Most of the forum people just twist and turn every post to justify why there is no need to change anything

Great example is the above post that accuses people that they want ALL contested shots to go in or that they want another patch 4 etc.

It is plain simple. Contested shots in game, drop in in much lower % than in real life. There could be a discussion if the shot in traffic or a contested shot attibute could be introduced, but to claim that there isn't such a thing is like being a denial

Re: 2K16 has totally killed contested shooting

I have NEVER EVER said the op didn't have a point . Why do you guys keep saying that ?

But it is possible to hit some contested shots like step backs and post fades. A few like Jab steps and faces ups could use a small boost.

But as a whole I like where it is.

Re: 2K16 has totally killed contested shooting

Also when you say things like I can't hit a step back with "Steph Curry " I wanna see video . Not to criticize but to give advice. I know 4 different ways to step back off the top of my head . There's about 4 different ways post fade. Some are more successful than others . How do I know which one you guys are doing ?

Re: 2K16 has totally killed contested shooting

Y'all still using that "Fanboy" cop out because people don't agree with you?

The ironic part is that people here have already acknowledged the issue is there and that hopefully it gets addressed.

But as usual, some folks here got that selective reasoning thing going on. No surprise with this place.

Clearly the latter.

People acting like we're asking for their social security number if we ask for them to share their experience. I remember when only select few could do so, now we all have the ability. Why not use it?
