Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

Re: Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

The fact that my HOF badged shooter can't green light a. Wide open corner catch and shoot, in a hot zone, using a release that ive had mastered since 2k16, from gold dimer John Wall, in a rookie mycareer game tells me they went too far. I believe the shooting has been too easy all year and I'm all for more realism, but that is getting a little carried away.

I can green light with a 70 3pt shot all across the 3-point line.

Lol you accuse me of overreacting as you overreact in your reply. Stop the sanctimonious drivel for a second and try to understand what you read. I'm not expecting every shot to be green. I guess my main issue is that you shouldn't be able to sag off of sharps, playmakers, or shot creators like people are since the update dropped. Realism is good to an extent, but if you want elite sharps only hitting 40ish% max in 5 min quarters/games to 21, there's not going to be any point in perimeter defense since there's a 60+% chance its coming off.

Where's the overreaction in my post? You're the one going on a rant about how you can't green light with all your badges and John Wall's badges on rookie difficulty. I can green light just fine in Pro Am from the wings with a bronze dimer being the one to pass to me.

Honestly lol at your entire post. Sagging off sharps, playmakers and shot creators? I've shot over 50% since this tuner with a ton of green lights, even from the wing, not just the corner. Watched a shot creator go 14/17 off of varying ranges of contested shots. Elite sharps hitting 40% max? If that's what they're shooting right now, then they were never elite to begin with. My brother shot 18 for 25 from 3 across 3 games last night off of the exact same shots that he's took since September.

This

I swear my shooting percentage has not changed AT ALL. If it has, the amount is so nominal it isn't noticeable.

My LDD hit a game winning three after grabbing a board in the park last night. I did that "behind the back" dribble while running towards the arc and I guess the defenders all decided I couldn't hit the shot because I was a LDD.

That **** was green. I probably make them at a 2/3 clip but I didn't expect green. If this is after Mike allegedly "nerfed" my LDD, it only further convinces me that shot success is less about my individual players shooting ability and more about how I select my shots within the flow of the possession.

Good Shot Selection > 94 shooting ratings.

It's going to be so interesting to see in NBA 2K18 if upper management will actually let Mike completely remove greens as an automatic make. The complaining about it being gone is going to be off of the charts.

Re: Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

I'm all for making non-shooting archetypes worse at shooting (since glass cleaners are consistently hitting threes)

But why did they have to mess with the shooting in Non-MyPlayer modes (Park and ProAm)? Shooting has been horrible lately and a midrange jumpshot only goes in 35-40% of the time on hall of fame difficulty with a player who has a 95 Open Mid range attribute. I've been testing this in the practice gym where there aren't even defenders who could possibly be affecting this.

Am i the only person experiencing this? I liked how shooting was before in Non-MyPlayer game modes.

(P.S, i'm not trying to sound like i'm whining or anything, because i'm happy to see that glass cleaners and slashers are no longer hitting threes in my face. All i'm saying is that shooting has been atrocious for me in all other gamemodes, but maybe it's just me)

Re: Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

Mike Wang's Twitter is rife with complaints right now "all white Sharps clanking" seems to be the dominant thread.

I keep thinking it's exaggerated but my own homies are sweating.. I run walkon and the Glass is still making 3s.

I hit Park and my Paint Protector makes his first 3 (white meter with bounce back) and I see Playmaker still banging 3s.

I'm thinking some need to adjust to the meter mechanic which to me feels slower on my Playmaker under these new conditions.

I will admit on Friday I did go 15 for 20 w my sharp in my career while grinding for horns zones - not one make was green on Rookie difficulty...

Not sure why Sharps are struggling but some Playmaker are too.. people need time to adjust to change its reasonable but I'm on my Paint Protector and feel comfortable on my mid and corner 3.

Weird stuff though: some Sharps are out here broke on wide open looks but my Playmaker teammate is fuego..

I just keep feeling the outcomes are a bit too random with the current conditions... like messy white release that goes in but release timings you know are crisp that clank on clean looks.. the old conditions were better for tutoring you towards a clean release.. maybe we do again need more time to adjust and relate

Where did this news come from, Rockie?

Re: Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

hope mike will find a way to keep the green releases for all archetypes and up the greens for ss only.

My playmaker feels like I expected him to feel for three when I created him.
Hope they don't put it back to where it was :/


walk on is just awesome right now =) everyone is looking for the extra pass, before the slider tuning everyone was looking for a shot for himself if a bit open.

The funny thing about this is.. although everyone seems to shoot a bit worse then it was before, the games end with a higher score most of the time. The basketball is just much better. A lot more inside game which is in a good mix to where it was before where shooting 3 was the main way to score

Re: Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

Man LoL .... Money hungry 2k is at it again ... All this is is to get you frustrated with the arch type that your using to buy and spend that Vc on a new arch type that better fits the situation for now then to only nerf it at a later date and start the cycle again. I hope Ea is watching this and gets they're act together with Live and feeds off this Bs.

Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

I am not going to lie, this update is getting to me. It's a lot harder to shoot (Get green) lol. I hate it and I love it as weird as that sounds as a Playmaker. It kills me missing open shots I am used to making. But sometimes I am draining 3s and then I can't buy a 3. Definitely makes people move the ball more.

I honestly think Mike changes affected other things than threes. I thought it was only affecting threes but midrange is definitely harder and it seems SS's did not get a boost.

Too bad he's increasing it again though. I knew the Twitter people would get to him like always. That's why I don't even understand why he lowers it when people are going to go off if they aren't hitting at a high clip like they used to doing and he'll cave. Wonder when he'll finally just choose something and ignore the crying. Hopefully next year.

That was a roster update, not a shooting update.

Re: Mike Wang 4-28-17 Shooting Changes.

The shooting doesn't feel as fluent anymore IMO. Sometimes the catch and shoot is smooth other times it feels hella delayed. Same thing with the timing...even when using the same release. I'm getting a lot of inconsistencies. I think the previous nerf was better for some reason.
