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

Problem is that DJordan and Drummond SHOULD usually be the players setting the pick and not getting set up for a damn shot. This happens way too often in 2k....bigman getting a pick and making the shot form well beyond his range.

Saw this on reddit

Maybe adding range will help with the shooting for 2k18.....

Yea Goffs range was a well cared thing in especially 90's just like wingspan now if you know what i mean so; it would really make another good addition/layer to the shooting logic if it's not already there under the rim for 2k player attributes.

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

I still want to know where the numbers in this picture come from. Did 2k provide them? Did a user collect these by experimenting?

Yes they were provided by 2k on twitter i think a long time ago

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

Just had a 11 three point game at 61 percent. The latest shooting tweak has been great. I have had games in the teens and this is my first over 50 three point game. This is HOF difficulty using the Hawks. Entire team got hot.

The shooting for 2k18 should be just like this. Except the corners and mid range could take a slight decrease. Thanks again.

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

I hope Mike will get it down in 2k18! This latest update kind of killed the Park for me, not because it differs much of what we had nearly all year, but because he gave us 2 days of great gameplay with the shooting tweak and now where its back to easy mode, it just feels stupidly easy to shoot and I can't get the excitement back. :/
I know I'm in the minority, so I'll stop posting bout this.

But my last words for 2k18.

Please Mike! If you want to have greens in game, go the way 2k16 was. Let guys with 70's rating green but not automatic it. Please don't let you distract by the twitter community. Follow your heart and mind!

See you in 2k18 guys!

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

Shooting for me is not bad , however I only play offline .....
with my shot creator shooting off dribble is Horrible , SC is not as affective as it was before he tweaked the zig zag shot or whatever lol , but honestly I don't think shot creators are effective anymore compare to playmaker .....


sharpshooter is hitting 3's but for some reason I hit better 3's with playmaker






Slasher is the most frustrating arctype they don't get no love what so ever , dunks are blocked 40% of times , and he does not attempt to dunk that often, I can dunk a lot better with playmaker or point forward


by the way I have HOF badges for all my characters


paly maker
point forward
slasher
sharp shooter
shot creator
lock down defender
glass cleaner

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

I dont understand what this shooting update did to change the integrity of their game in a positive way.

The main fundamentals of basketball such as Catch and Shoot is completely broken and the use of shot of dribble % is increased.

So your telling me that i should shoot drifters and pullups more than a normal set shot and a catch and shoot animation?!!

That is NOT fundamental basketball, I believe this game has LOST integrity and credibility

DONT understand that logic at all.

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

I only play HOF vs mode offline shooting is now broken in my opinion. Guy like Kevin love and JR non sharp shooter are horrible now. Even guys like harden can't make shots now. If you want to change park play shooting fine. HOF offline game play has been killed. Played this game since release now it's different this late in the season Mike please step away.

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

Park shooting is the worse. It's seems like nearly everyone has a broken jump shot. I have never seen so many easy wide open shots and easy layups missed. One guy who's maxed out even missed a layup when his defender is not even near him. These are people who always are great at shooting yet they can no longer shoot well anymore. It's insane. 2K should simply go back to their 2k16 shooting method. So many patches and tweaks have helped ruined the game.

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

I'm honestly so confused sometimes about the games we all play. I hear guys complain that shooting is too hard and now they can't hit shot they made before and them others say everything past half court is green (my experience) and I don't know how we can all get such a varied response.

Combination of many things.. People not having their hot spots, using a fresh made and paid 88 overall with no badges, bad shot selection (but they'll hit you with the "that was wide open bro!"), not getting assisted by someone with Dimer, bad jump shot.. probably a few other things I'm leaving out.. I do know that my shot had recently went cold in the last week or so, and I went back to one I was had used in the past and my percentages straightened back out. My brother who has never once complained about any of the shot tweaks and has used the exact same jump shot since he first unlocked the jump shot creator in September, is still bombing with 11 for 12, 10 for 11, 10 for 13 games.

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

I'm bricking with my sharpshooter shooting guard as of late. I was hitting 56% from 3 in pro-am now it took a dip to 51% these past few weeks, and I'm missing open threes with hot spots. What am I doing wrong????

..... Or, some people are attributing their experience to offline vs. online.

Offline on HOF (Just playnow or season, not a myplayer) does seem like it took a step back. I play fundamental ball and honestly, I'm referring to the CPU and I.

I can't turn the level down because I need the CPU's full ability for it to be competitive, but the shooting results on HOF after the update seems to penalize both parties too much. It should be rewarding good shots, not penalizing everything and making the game a chore just because of the level.

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

My sharp shooter is just trash at shooting on walk on. I don't even want to shoot anymore. I get a full white meter and it's a brick most of the time. I'm shooting under 30% from 3 every game now maybe ppl will say that's somewhat realistic( not really) but it's not fun for the video game aspect. I made a ldd big just because what's the point of using my SS when I constantly brick AFTER having catch and shoot and corner specialist on hof , A+ quality clanking. But let me leave a non sharpshooter build wide open that's a automatic green for them smh.

Hot spots are actually completely useless in the park since the park is beyond extremely broke. Even broken courts everywhere My friends and I can't even play in the park most of the time due to broken courts with frozen players on them all the time. Everywhere you go there are frozen players stuck on the courts every single day. I was able to play moments ago however but there were 2 players still frozen and stuck on the court with us, they stood in the middle of the floor the whole game. I play on Xbox by the way, in Rivet City. The amount of broken courts constantly in the park this year is insane.


As for dimer badge, I have this badge as well yet it does no help for my teammates at the park. By the way, why should people have to depend on dimer badges getting them shots? If they already have a lot of good shooting badges of their own, dimer badge shouldn't matter. They should still be able to get their shots without playing with a dimer badge teammate. Dimer badge does not work all the time at the park
