Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

youre missing the point. a casual player can pick up a controller and drop 30+ on anyone with a sharpshooter

You're missing the point. Hasn't been done to me. Sorry fam. Maybe y'all should re-check your own b-ball iq before generalizing the entire community. If a sharpshooter is lighting me up (which has happened more than once, but definitely less than 10% of the time) I say, "Damn that's my b. I gotta play up on him. I gotta stop helping. I gotta stick in his jersey, even if he's unnaturally making shots." Come on now, people. You're better than that.

Your ideology isn't perfect to ME AS A SOLITARY PERSON. However I do see exactly what you mean, and I think you've got the right mindset on this. In the end, people think GSW and CLE users are trash cheesers, but that's because honestly, deep down, you combine a skilled team with a skilled user with the easiest (cheesiest) tactics, you're gonna be in for it.

Same for the builds. Put a sharpshooter into the hands of an untalented player, he's a joke that you and the squad laugh at. "Lol locked up this CHEEZY SHARPSHOOTER, LMAO PWNED" or whatever it is y'all say. But let a dude who understands and comprehends the deadliness of a sharpshooter, combined with IMPERFECT defense, you're in for a long..a**.. day..................just like in the league.

Lol your proving everyones point

Lol sarcasm right?

no...

sharpshooters have 5 HOF badges.

they are objectively better than NBA players.

they should, it follows, shoot higher percentages.

What's the problem here?

Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

just to "proove" that shooting is broken right now i went into a play now as KD , who for all intents and purpose would be a BAD park/proam sharpshooter due to lack of HOF badges and what not.. taking only "bad" shots of 18 feet or further, most of which are stepbacks that are highly contested, i am 8-12 and 5-9 from 3 for 21 points in 4 minutes on all-star..yep shooting is just fine

Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

People can't even let the game be out for a month before complaining to the point that we're already talking patches on this brand new game. I've had no issues with sharpshooters. Like I said in another thread, there is an easy blueprint to stop sharpshooters: D them up tight, and run them off the 3 pt line at all costs, if you do that you're fine. That's it. Now you got beluba on here talking about making "tweaks" to the percentages 2 weeks into the game.

It's a bit disappointing that 2k can't stand behind their finished product for even one month, to let things play out and see where things stand.

Lol cause thats the entire league, and we were playing NBA 2k so that should be around the watermark, you shouldn't be shooting 60+% its just not in the realm of being realistic, unless we name it MyPlayer 2k18

Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

And main thing is % dont even have to be toned down, just make the shot of dribble rating actually matter, that would solve all the problems, its not that they make all open 3s just off the dribble pull ups from 30 like there shot off dribble rating is 99

the E-Sport isn't NBA Team-Up.

It's MyPlayer Pro-Am.

Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

Okay I haven't said anything about this till now my team is in the top 100 but the ONLY problem I have with sharpshootes is the fact that u can play 100% perfect d on one they can be 35 feet from the basket and in the contested shot animation and still hit at like 50%, it's beyond stupid I hate how 2k rewards that garbage, yes sharpshootes should be op if they wide the he'll open but when they shooting contested fade away 3s in ur face, it's ridiculous and I can't believe some people actually think they shooting is good right now, my friend has a 55 3 and he shoots 70% from 3 cmon now

Try to D them up when a center with HOF brick wall is leveling everyone running towards the shooter who is 8 feet behind the three point line. Most teams we play are 3 sharpshooters, 1 playmaker/shot creator and a brick wall equipped glass cleaner. They all run around the brick wall and eventually one of the defenders looks like he's been shot and falls down and it's an automatic make.

The percentages are not right, the only people who argue against toning down the shooting are the sharpshooters. Glass cleaners can hit threes, how is the shooting not messed up? Beluba and the guys at 2k can see what the percentages are in Pro-Am and I'm sure that's part of the reason why they will tweak it. I bet every top 100 team is shooting over 50% from three.

Skill matters the most this year, sorry if you are not as good as other players on the court.

Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

So I have both a Sharpshooter PG & a LDD PG.

My views on the situation..

1) Those who are using any real world statistics need to stop. You cannot compare real statistics to a video game and specifically Pro-Am & Park modes. There is so much that happens in those modes that does NOT happen in real world basketball. Also factor in that our players are user controlled too & that will always change an outcome.

2) I've previously posted what needs to be nerfed with a sharpshooter, I will defend them with regards to 'open' threes. If they nerf those then it's rewarding and benefiting those who are rubbish on D. You should be punished for leaving a sharpshooter wide open.

3) There is more to factor in than just reducing the shooting percentages.. Screens play a huge part and having the moving/illegal screens in the game and being used without punishment is a HUGE part of the problem. When you factor in poor collision animation too, it does make things easier to get open. I would prefer they work on this issue first.

4) Any moving shots or shots off the dribble by a sharpshooter need to be nerfed. We shouldn't be able to dribble and then shoot and hit it. That's what a shot creators benefit is.

5) Nerf our contested shot percentage. Again if wide open then you should be punished but if you have put your hand in their face and defending the best you can, then it shouldn't be automatic.

6) Limit the amount of 'greens' on a shot release. Way too many people are draining threes due to this combined with the shot stick.. I've seen glass cleaner centers who are hitting 50+ threes on a 50% clip in Park with a 30 attribute rating.. So that is a sign that the whole game is messed up and not particularly sharpshooters.

7) Most who are moaning are probably Playmakers and if you are, how realistic is it for a 'Playmaker' to go left right, left right and constantly spam dribble moves to make someone fall over before you shoot yourself? .. You have a high passing attributes for a reason and that was to be the one to get others involved.. Again blame cheesers and youtubers for ruining that archetype.

8) If you pick an offensive archetype you SHOULD be punished on the defensive end. Otherwise what is the point in a LDD? .. If they raise the other archetypes defensive attributes or make things easier for those to defend then it makes people who are a LDD extinct.

Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

Lol, you know what? I hope 2K DOES make the change most of you are wanting by turning Sharpshooters into nothing but Catch and Shooters, and by turning all shots into shoot-off-the-dribble shots as soon as the ball touches the floor. Let me go ahead and get my Shot Creator ready just in case. You all just don't realize what you're really asking for without thinking it all the way through.

Re: For those still saying sharpshooters are not op....

You people that are defending this can't refute the facts. Anybody who wants their shooter to shoot more threes than Curry and still average 50-60% is ridiculous.

Like stated earlier the archetypes are not Rock, paper, scissors. You shouldn't need a tony allen player to stop a three point shot.


Also the real world percentages should be reflected in the game, especially pro-am. The percentages show how DIFFICULT it is for shooters to make 50% of their shots. Most Sharpshooters shoot well above that.
