i agree, I know it's a dying art in the league but it's still used by a number of players in this league.. McCollum, Melo, Paul, Crawford for example. The step back's and side step jumpers look cool and all but because the defense recovers so damn fast they're practically useless. Hopefully 2k17 actually makes those moves viable as a lot of these players use these type of moves when creating jump shots.
Where the heck is the mid-range game in 2k16?

Re: Where the heck is the mid-range game in 2k16?
Completely agree with this. I know it's a dying art forms but I love the mid range game. It's not efficient. It's not really a big part of the modern game but I still absolutely love it.
Probably why I enjoy watching Aldridge and his inefficient self.Comment

He really improved his efficiency this year, though. Probably a result from the ball movement and better looks on SA.Comment

Re: Where the heck is the mid-range game in 2k16?
I feel like the mid-range game is perfectly fine. I usually knock down wide open shots at a good clip (45-50%ish) and significantly less on contested shots. I sometimes wonder if people expect EVERY open shot to go down.
I mean, I've missed multiple wide open shots in the row before (but KD - one of the world's best - missed like 7 shots in one of the final games in the playoffs). I just assume that sometimes the shots don't fall and you don't win. Then other times I can't ****ing miss and it's glorious.
Feels consistent in that the game is sometimes there and it sometimes isn't.Comment
