Re: 2K16 has totally killed contested shooting
Do you just spend your entire time on here going into threads and doing your best to spin it 2K's way every time? It is embarrassing. The game isn't perfect, stop acting like it is.
I don't even think I mentioned fadeaways in the OP. I'm talking about sizing up your defender, using face up jabs etc to create a small gap to get a shot off in a defenders face.
You wonder why people keep saying you don't think the OP doesn't have a point. You literally come into every negative thread and try to spin it some way so that the user is to blame. You did the same thing in the thread about MyPlayer ratings. "Oh but you guys should just make a different sized player blah blah blah".
I don't need advice. You know there's something broken with the game when game after game unless I'm literally wide open Curry will miss the majority of shots where a defender might get a contest on him that makes the shot tough. People on here will cry about online being too hard if they up these kind of ratings. Yes that might happen, but offline this is making things completely annoying for my franchise save with the Warriors with Stephen Curry currently shooting 35% on 3s and if you took out the simmed games it would be down at about 20%.
Defence is a lot tougher in this game. I'm not going to dribble for twenty seconds just to trigger some animation that will work a lot more. That's you once again blindly defending 2K by spinning things against anyone that dares constructively criticise the game.
I know that the animation issue with contested shots is being fixed. That's only one part of it. The ability to go to work on your defender and hit jumpers in his grill just isn't there anymore. Carmelo used to be brilliant out of face ups in the post in 2K. Now I worry about him getting swatted or just completely clanking the shot because 2K doesn't think Carmelo should hit that shot which is quite absurd. Same goes for Curry when I dribble around the perimeter using a pick to my advantage only to cop a ridiculously short window to get a decent release because again 2K thinks that's not a shot that should ever really go in.
No you see people have more things to do in their life than sit around and make 2K videos all day. Me posting a video of me clanking a few shots with Carmelo isn't going to prove anything. It's the same with those who post a few videos of them hitting jumpers with a contest. I don't have the time to properly expose this issue which would require a long jumper to show that the issue is a regular occurrence.
I honestly couldn't care less about online. The way the game plays shouldn't be revolved around what will happen online. You come in here with your sensationalist post carrying on like I'm asking 2K to let me hit shots over triple teams on a regular basis or something. Carmelo should be hard to guard from face ups, Curry should be a guy you cannot give an inch to in 2K, yet you get anywhere near him and unless he's in the spot up shooting animation he won't hit much.
I know you need to create space and that's part of the problem. In real life the majority of offensive players don't shake their man completely on a regular basis. They shoot a lot of shots where the defender is in the vicinity, yet in 2k the game almost forces you to loose your man completely to hit anything. I've also noticed it in MyCareer with my 6'6 shooting guard. He has high shooting ratings, all the fadeaway badges etc, yet I use hesitations on the likes of Jason Terry, Bradley Beal etc all with a significant height mismatch and the shots rarely come close to falling.
If you're a good shooter, you're rarely affected by a defender being in the vicinity. Ray Allen made a career out of shooting over people like they're not even there.
Yeah because those plays never happen in real life. Do you even watch NBA?
It's a joke I literally spend massive periods of games clanking everything because defenders won't give an inch the majority of the time, which is fine. But then you can't completely water down how effective jump shots in those situations can be. It's unrealistic.
Exactly. Double him on the pick and rolls, force others to shoot, you might still lose but people are being ridiculous here. They're acting like this is 2K9 with the Kobe and Lebron spin cheese.
I'm just after a more realistic experience and certain posters just want to shoot me and others down. Pathetic really.
