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

Thing is, the 'solution' that is being suggested literally negates the use of any offensive archetype except Shot Creators. Balance would then be thrown out the window.

What, how? To make them have to set their feet for a bit before they shot?

I don't think it needs to be they can't shoot when the ball is live, but they need to square up, imo. So like if you came off a screen to shoot, you'd have to keep your guy still for a second then shoot to get a great release.

The ratings are weird. There should be a catch n shoot, live dribble set, jumper off dribble, off-balance off dribble, etc. The fact that off dribble shot is a weird leaner is lame.

I disagree that it would ruin balance, might actually make teams play real ball, even if you did have to catch and shoot. My post scorer is still a monster. I think I could get most people 1 on 1. Surround me with people who are wet, and I think we're gonna get it in.

The game as it is now is out of balance, to me, because it looks nothing like real basketball. It looks like NBA Jam.

Something like that, yes. But if it's the one I'm thinking of, it still puts the ball on the floor. That means the shooter's shot would immediately drop to the 70s. If it doesn't, I think 2k17 recognizes that move as traveling if the user hasn't dribbled first.

Hell, I've seen jabsteps into pull-ups get called for traveling in this game.

Wow that's crazy.

It's like a staple move for spot up shooters. Put the ball down,step to the side, and pick it up for the shot. I can't find a clip of it.

See man I can't even say old dude is that good at the game. He's good don't get me wrong... but he's not like a 2k savant. He took some terrible shots w/ bad releases and made them. He got his shot blocked at the end and that was a bail out foul...

but yea that's broken. 2k make it right.

Ah, that one, I know what you're talking about. It's in the hop jumpers set.

Once again, though, if 2k makes it to where any shot taken after so much as a single dribble is now counted as Shoot off Dribble, then their shot would immediately drop to the 70s.

See why it's a bad idea?

Shot creators get dropped, too. There just needs to be a better balance between the two.

Bro, you're defending 95 points. Stop it, you're obviously a sharpshooter. smh.

Doubt that they can. There's literally only two things they can do:

1.) Make it much harder to get green releases, especially when the defense is present

2.) Get rid of greens being 100%

That's literally all they can do. Otherwise, this will be an all year thing. OR they can do something everone would dread: Bring back shot fatigue. (Even though that was terrible in 2k15 early release. 24 shots in, you were useless the rest of the game)

I see your point but if the shooter resets like I'm picturing it then it shouldn't trigger shot off dribble.

It would, because once the ball hits the floor, the type of shot would immediately switch.

They can make 91 more like 80 . They can take out greens where you have the ball live, they can take out greens where you were recently moving, they can remove illegal picks... there's tons they can do. I think they should look at making 90 3 pt and the badges less effective.

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

All they need to do is tone down illegal screens and make "good shot contests" matter more. Sharpshooters should be money when open, way less effective when contested.

No need to make things more complicated than that...

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

Bro I have a 6'6" Sharpshooter. I think each style has it weakness and benefits. But to say this is OP because you got 90 dropped on you is just bitter. Obviously you didn't make any adjustments and got stomped on.
