Post patch sliders and shooting %

Re: Post patch sliders and shooting %

To be honest, both pre-patch and post-patch, I'm just not finding much fun online this year so far. I hate Park, people either act stupid or quit too much in Walk-On with no consequence, and i don't have a team for regular Pro Am because the people I used to play with either play other modes or other games. And the team I used to be on in Pro Am leagues, I can't stand playing with them because of questionable shot selection, shaky defense, and whiny people.

I pop up on the Park every now and then, but get bored by the second game because I can't stand 2v2 or 3v3, and the 4v4 courts are never running (no idea why they just won't put 5v5 courts out there instead). I'm finding more fun in MyCareer than any other mode.

Hit me up XGuardianAngelzx - I have a group I found through an OS guy and we've been playing at night mostly - playing smart and unselfish - and having some fun. I don't use a mic but they do.

Re: Post patch sliders and shooting %

You still can't compare 2K to the real NBA though. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson aren't getting assisted by badges that are increasing shot percentages. They don't have hall of fame badges that are supposed to make them better shooters than other archetypes.

And yes, you have valid points. If I did want a more complete player I probably would have made a playmaker/point forward type. But my role on my team has always been to be a lights out shooter. I can't do that throwing up a 50/50 shot everytime. At the moment I don't see any reason to be a sharpshooter, everyone else on my team hits the same amount of shots when left wide open in the corner. I can easily find other ways to contribute but it still wouldn't be as effective as other archetypes. I didn't create a sharpshooter and invest money and time into upgrading him to be the best that he can when a lockdown defender with bronze shooting badges can shoot at the same percentages as me.

A 50/50 shot from three is better than the greatest shooter that's ever lived who actually does have a hall of fame badge.

That's more than lights out and Curry would kill to be 50% from 3.

It seems the problem isn't your shooting percentages but those of other builds, which should top out at the high 30's. Or mid to low 30's for a defensive build.

No one should be shooting over 50, much less 60 from 3 in any game that resembles NBA any form of basketball.

Re: Post patch sliders and shooting %

NBA players do not shoot 70% on open threes, shooting 65% over 50 games shows there was a problem with the shooting prior to today. Just because you're open doesn't mean the shot should go in, you didn't even green the shot.

Great shooters have bad nights.

The NBA average for open threes is like 45%. Even Curry is less than 50% from three when open and most 3 point shots taken are open.

It's not anything close to 75%.

5 minute quarters vs 12 minute quarters. Shot tuning and percentages should reflect the length of games. Or else full games would have real life halftime scores, like the 40s or 50s.

Re: Post patch sliders and shooting %

Can we turn down those closeout touch fouls? It's hard enough to close out on the perimeter with the shaky AI rotations and poor lateral response for user defense. When the user makes an effort to get out to a 3point shooter he's getting penalized with 3-point FTs/4-point play opportunities too often.

Re: Post patch sliders and shooting %

Patch is good but deeping more there are some important things still need fix:

1º Big hole in the center of the paint. Teammates on MC still needs better defense.

2º Too much shootings fouls.

3º Too much steals. (Some of them in the paint because the defender is in front of the AI so it's steal or easy basket but he is not covering well)

Take a look if you don't mind Beluba.

Re: Post patch sliders and shooting %

Why dont people let the gameplay be what it is? If u want change go offline and edit ur sliders. Dont go online, get manhandled and cry for a change on the forums.

Re: Post patch sliders and shooting %

I personally feel - and some others as well - that chasedown badge doesn't seem to have much effect. Especially because the fouls are so high despite defensive stats (lockdown defender here). Some fouls are way too dumb and should not happen to higher rated defensive players. If there is a draw foul stat. There should be an avoid foul stat too. Because right now I'm not seeing the difference in fouling despite higher defensive stats (I didn't buy vc so I've played from scratch - haven't seen a major difference). Would love if we higher defensive rated would get less dumb foul animations. Although I understand we should still obviously get them too. But there needs to be a skill difference between lockdown and others. Overall I just see foul animations that are unrealistic. Too bashful.

Anyone else agree with this? It kind of ticks me off that my lockdown guy commits stupid fouls. Overall I feel like there aren't enough clean contests inside. Players get bailed out by fouls inside more than I would like.

Shooting fouls are fine, and I'm a defensive center that contests a lot.

Turn off defensive assist, go up vertical, keep your hands up and you're fine.

If there is a draw foul stat - there should be an avoid fouls stat - for good defenders with good defensive stats. Is not balanced if the offense gets a stat to bail them out of terrible shots - and we good defensive players have to just tolerate it. Good defensive stats should affect fouls. It's common sense. I'm seeing too many shots inside where both user and cpu make dumb fouls with their man in front of them. Just contest. I'm not saying it shouldn't happen. It just happens too much for my liking.

I tried every slider/difficulty setting in the game - and the 76ers still averaged 57% shooting per game. I had several games where teams shot well over 60%. I'm not a person to bother or harass game developers online, so for me to do so, there was a major issue that I couldn't seem to fix with any setting.

Obviously Beluba saw the issue, because, for the most part, he was able to correct it. I'd still love the POE patch, so we can slow the pace down, because teams still move down the court way too fast.

All I want is for players/teams to play to their ratings.

Im a point guard. My bigs are not defending an one of them is KAT (88 ovr)

Shooting fouls. In real NBA around 20-25 FT per game. Sometimes i have between 30-40.

I have defensive assist at 0 already but thanks for the tips.

Yeah i forgot that MC only player can change the Sliders...oh wait!
