Ditto. I'm actually finding the vibration feature to be very useful for shooting. Now, I can focus on the action on the screen, but I still have an indicator of when I should release.

The controller vibrates at the proper release point? I never noticed that

Re: Stop complaining about not making 50%+ wide open 3s

Mike, I wish I saved the footage. I had a Pure lights out me. First 2 were late contests. Second 2 I was in his t-shirt, splash. 5th I literally jumped with his shot. I even hit him in the air causing an animation, Splash.

3 of those 5 I was on him, RS contest. One in particular I jumped with him. I'm not exaggerating here. Does size matter? He was 6'8, I was 6'4. I have been telling myself he just shot over me due to height.

I do not want shooting really touched, but I know this isn't just me. Repeat: PLEASE DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.

Lol I had the same thing happen to me last night. My guy is also 6'4 and a taller stretch torched us. I was literally right underneath him when he was shooting deep 3's and draining them. He finished 11-18 from 3, most of them were contested.

Klay Thompson went 13 of 13 in a quarter. So Shooting over 50% is definitely possible and realistic.

Once. I've gone 8 of 8 in pro am before. Sometimes it happens, but not every night. And it happens in game, just not every game.

Had a Pure sharp on my walk on squad go 11/13 from 3, next game 3/12, final game 4/10. That's 64% over 3 games. So it happens.

Do you know why they say shooters need a poor memory? Because they need to keep taking the open shot no matter how many times they miss. The problem is humans tend to remember things that impact them.

You're conditioned to hot every three from the last 3 games. They were programmed, and then patched to horrible proportions. Now, I bet you don't remember games going 7/7. But you'll remember and spaz out going 6/14. Even though it's a good percent, you're conditioned to something higher so your brain processes it as "not right".

I see open shooters cashing out and shooting good numbers. It's not 12/14, but it's enough to torch a bad defense. You got coach in your name, do you throw a fit if your team bricks a ton of shots in a bad game IRL?

Re: Stop complaining about not making 50%+ wide open 3s

I shoot over 50% for both my players and one has 95 3ball and the other 72. The 95 rating guy is at like 63% and my 72 rated guy is shooting right at 50%


Iv had no issues with 3s this year and how much they do or don’t go in

I think the debate goes in two different directions when we go from Pro-Am to Online Play Now. I have no comment on Pro-Am because I haven't played it. So I'm talking about OPN.

I've never had a game where my team made more contested shots than open shots, which I've seen constantly. I've never had a string of games where we would get more/less open looks in some games, and shoot the same percentage. And that's where the problem lies. You aren't rewarded for getting more open shots than the other person. Which takes me back to something I said earlier, it almost feels like the game is programmed to shoot a certain percentage rather than it be based on ratings and openness.

This is where I'm at.

People are in here saying you should be rewarded for getting open and taking good shot opportunities, but my experience with the game right now is that the quality of my shot doesn't mean much.

I make more bad shots than I should, I miss more good shots than I should, and I suspect the shot percentage at the end of the day is considered "normal" but the means to get there are really suspect.

I feel like I'm playing Madden and I'm really at the mercy of the AI and what it will allow me to do. At the end of the day SkyNet is going to decide the outcome.

I had a guy last week play with Portland and he didn't pass the ball once other than to get the ball inbounds. He just dribbled around with his PG. He scored around 50 points and shot around 35%. Literally every one of his shots were contested.

I had another game where a kid played zone and I got open shot after open shot. My 3 point percentage for the game? 35%. So basically I can just dribble around and jack up shots and have the same success as working for wide open shots.

This has essentially been my experience in the park.

Work to find open shots and watch them brick, or even airball. Drain contested shots, even threes, when I have no business making them.

I don't even know what a good shot is in this game. Because every time I have a good release/wide open/ good shot selection I usually can count on it missing, But when I throw up that prayer at the end of the shot clock that is moderately contested, it'll hit like I'm Durant or something.

I'm left with the same feeling I get playing Madden. Don't try to attack it logically because there is no logic, eventually the game will manipulate things to create the outcome it wants because it plays by it's own set of rules. The same way AI ball handlers can blatantly dribble through my body to avoid a turnover but the second their left butt cheek touched me while I'm dribbling I'll drop the ball.

Re: Stop complaining about not making 50%+ wide open 3s

I wish I could get this video to upload. Tied up with 8 seconds in MyTeam. Kyrie gets a wide open good release from the elbow, misses it. Shaq stands under the rim and gets outrebounded (and by outrebounded I mean he just kind of stood there and did nothing) by Marcus Smart, who then throws up a desperation buzzer beater. Swish. Game over.

My girlfriend: How come that stupid shot went in and yours didn't?

I couldn't help but laugh lol.

People worry about this too much for my taste...just play the game.

Re: Stop complaining about not making 50%+ wide open 3s

You all have to adjust to the game. Adjust the sliders. For now, I'm playing on Hall of Fame but I raised my sliders to 55 3pt and 52 mid-range. I'll make another adjustment on the sliders to benefit the CPU once I get used to the current sliders set.

My defense plays better on Hall of Fame and the CPU doesn't get as many open shots. Also, you have to read their offense and predict the open shots and pick the player defending them before the pass gets there by using the icons, and go contest it. After you've contested a few of their shots, they start missing on their own.

Re: Stop complaining about not making 50%+ wide open 3s

In my experience its pretty easy to hit wide open threes...if you miss the first one grab the board that second three is most likely dropping.

This 2K really punishes leaving guys open.

I think it seems like that because your percentage is dropping down below where the game allows threes to be made. Just how it seems to be playing right now as just about every one of my games is around 40% three point percentage regardless of how open I am. My last game was against a total noob with no idea of what he was doing, so I literally got open shots the entire game:

Wide open/good release: 2/11
Wide open/Slightly early/late: 6/8

I've seen people bring up that the shot meter seems to be off. Is there any truth to this? Because that would fit the way many of my games are playing out.

Re: Stop complaining about not making 50%+ wide open 3s

Are you closing late? If it's lightly contested it usually means you're gapped too far off when he starts his shot. You wanna hug up on pure sharps as much as you can.

This! People want to be able to defend everything if your guarding a pure sharp you need to play like your guarding one of the great shooters and suffocate him
