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

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

i dont care whats going on, youre not dropping 90 on me. TEAMS rarely score 90 in pro am, thats on the other team. i dont care he went 30/44...

someone going for 90 is the other team just not playing defense. cant give me any other argument id buy.

i understand folks want sharshooters tuned down (im not 1 of'em), but 90pts is not due to an overpowered archatype lol.

i totally understand why ppl say sharpshooters are OP, i just disagree.

All ya dudes on this forum do is complain, ya the reason why 2k16 got patched to death and turn into a crappy game. I hate you scrubs for real.

Lol scrubs? Sound like you might be one of them.

Sharpshooters are not OP!!! They can just hit 3's at an Inhuman rate,(way better than Curry)they can shoot off the dribble, and have even been known to BAM on some people. Way better than any slasher in existence. The God Type is not op! Despite this being the only Archetype that has been dropping 40-60 points.

This is not true at all. You are not dunking on anyone with a Sharpshooter. Maybe a smaller defender but not anyone. Off the dribble shots are very difficult and rarely go in. People defense are in question if you are getting 40-60 dropped on you easily. I find sharpshooters easy to stop and im a sharpshooter myself.

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

My Slasher was consistently dropping 10-14 in park the other night which is on Par, but like everything it comes down to adjustments.

So, here's what I'm trying: First, If they are running screens, who ever is guarding the screener must hedge hard or switch. And I mean they have to step out to hedge, Make contact to slow the guy down, and get out of the way. Or just full switch.

Two, You have to be willing to live with 2s. If they're all sharpshooters and one is in the paint, just deal with it and get it back at the other end. As soon as you collapse they will kick, and Dimer+Catch and Shoot is game over.

Three, Be on them like glue. Do not give them room. Don't rely on close outs if possible. I mean in their uniform defense. Steal from them since they have poor dribbling. If you contest you have to be on top of them. I haven't figured our if Jumping for a block is an defensive penalty like last year, so I can't suggest that as an option yet.

Finally, Patience. You have to be willing to accept a few things. Accept that at least 1 super contested shot is going in. Accept that they will drain it with a sliver of daylight. Accept these dacts, and move on. If they get In your head you already lost.

It's pretty annoying and that advice is not a guarantee, but if you're doing everything you can do, that's all you can do.

I have no problem with them hitting shots in my face. They should be able to do that, it just seems as though they get to perform their Archetypes signature style more than others. I haven't seen any slashers or post scorers be able to do this type of damage.

Understandable. My pro am team is elite tier so we have never had anybody come near that number on us but you honestly don't have to have talent to score with a sharpshooter when this is suppose to be a esports competitive mode.

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

The fact that they can shoot 70%+ from 35+ feet while wide open should be enough evidence.

Add their ability to hit contested shots from 35+ feet at a decent clip, and it becomes glaringly obvious there's an issue.

Please help me understand how this is not considered OP.

i hear you, lmao. we'll prob never agree on this sir

if a guy goes for more than 10-15pts in a pro am game on me - my frustration automatically is aimed at myself for allowing it.

to me sharpshooters are not OP, just gotta hound them - no space for 90ft. im serious.

we disagree but i respect where youre coming - i just cant see how theyre OP.

the 2k community's defense is WAY U.P. (underpowered lmao)

The Defensive tips were for everyone, not just you. Other types can easily put work in like that, the problem is that with all these garbage youtube videos, 95% of the community runs sharpshooter so you won't see it. On a good day, if my team recognizes my cuts, and I get hit in transition, I can go off with a slasher. It just takes more work and a team that's trusting you to drive and kick when the dunk ain't there

All of you guys keep posting that you can stop sharpshooters, but for some reason these guys are still running pro-am. I bet if 2k released Fg% and Points per game by archetype Sharpshooters would lead the charge. The 3 ball drops at unreal percentages, fact, anybody that denies this needs to look up some stats.

now thats a point i can agree with. that sharpshooters are the easiest archtype to be successful with, but i dont think that makes it OP.

but i can absolutley agree its the easiset archatype to be effective with.

sort of like 7'3 monsters from last year and 6'7" PG from last year as well

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

Especially with all these meter problems and very late feedbacks when they are not very late. I don't get how y'all are saying sharpshooters are OP. You gotta have the right team around you too to score with a sharpshooter. You're not going to be able to use dribble moves to create space. So if a sharpshooter is dropping you off, it is more likely because you are leaving him open or your team is not hedging or switching off screens. Then when it comes to defense Sharpshooters are weak. Its not easy moving around and defending with a sharpshooter. So they are flawed there also.

Doom, sir, lol.

weve had this convo already - leave my screens alone lol!

as ive said, moving screens are part of the game now lmao. in all honesty they are a bit too much. but i dont want 2k to WAY overboarding patching or tuning anything. thats my fear

That's fine that you disagree, but you haven't explained why you disagree or provided any examples of why they're not OP.

If you, or anyone for that matter believes shooting 70%+ from 35 feet and beyond is ok, there's no point in even having this discussion.

it'd be one thing if the moving screens were a couple steps like in real life but in 2k they're straight up pushing you all the way across the court lol
