WOW...... Patch 5 destroyed the shoothing ?

Re: WOW...... Patch 5 destroyed the shoothing ?

I'm going to have to try turning the meter off on main menu too because it came back on for me in park randomly...

It's funny, with it back on - my shooting got worse. I just can't help but look at the meter and it throws me off

Shot meter or no shot meter shooting is streaky as hell since the new park hit. Mid's are decent but 3's are usually yellow on the line other than the corner which is still easy greens. Paying attention to details in the form will help improve shooting a lot rather than looking at the shot meter. The online delay will throw you off if you try to use the meter to time your release. I find Shot Feedback the way to go rather than turning the shot meter off this year. Wish 2k would give us a head ups of percentage changes though. Smh

Don't watch the shot meter, turn it off. The meter is a subliminal message from Satan that distracts kids from the fine art of balling.

haha, well it's funny in a way. My shot meter was always bad (never really red, but pretty far away from the middle), and I was wet. I've gotten it to where I am mostly always on the line at least... and less wet. I feel like there are three releases: red... yellow... green. Is this wrong? haha.

Meaning: it doesnt matter if you get it on the line or barely in the yellow.

I think the shot meter is useless but I would like an animation. IT MAKES MORE SENSE. Give us a different follow thru for each, a perfect follow through, a yellow follow thru and a really awkward one for red.

It's kinda like that already, but all of these meters and streaks behind the balls... it's just like why.

Streaks behind the ball is for Ballers, Old Town gets it on passes/dribbles, and rivet rattles the screen on dunks. The ball streak has nothing to do with release.

Also: yeah, the meter is a trap

Shooting is weak af now, just in time to completely screw up our lineup and strategy for road to the finals.

There's plenty of cats on OS that feel some type of way about players hitting 80% + from deep, but the inconsistent updates puts everyone down a notch. Smh

Well, Yeah, 80% is unrealistic. So no, you shouldn't average 80% from 3 every game. The updates do make shooting inconsistent, but you ruin your own argument acting like people are wrong for thinking 80% from 3 point range is a joke. 40% I can live with, and even that's high (or at least in that elite area, which is fine since your my player is supposed to end up as super elite).

That wasn't my argument, my argument was that buffing and nerfing jump shots inconsistently doesn't help anyone.

Didn't I say mf's on OS feel some type of way about unreal shooting? lol I never said anything about what the percentages should be.

I was explaining why people feel that way, reasoning being that 80% is unrealistic.

And yes, constantly tweaking things leads to inconsistent results, but if your entire game plan for pro-am is built around a mechanism that has been constantly changed on this game since day one....I feel like that's just stupid. Or poor planning. I personally don't ever have a lot of issues with the tweaks, because the guys I roll with are smart, and dynamic enough that if 3s won't fall, we go elsewhere.

Before you rebuttal, please understand that everything I've said so far has not been stuff pulled out of thin air. Or just pulling percentages out.

First post explained why OSers feel that shooting 3s at a high clip is stupid, and I interjected a more acceptable percentage(You mentioned 80% before I did, by the way).

Re: WOW...... Patch 5 destroyed the shoothing ?

I understand and agree that updates to ratings affect how an individual player shoots (due to rating adjustments) but that is to be expected; determining whether your shots is "green" or "yellow" wasn't changed however. NINJAK2 provided a great reference from a developer explaining how to hit green releases.
