Updated Shooting Difficulty In Patch 1.02 (Feedback)

Re: Updated Shooting Difficulty In Patch 1.02 (Feedback)

I am liking the changes they did to shooting this year and aim is ok since last patch (and after becoming second nature) so to me the only real issue with shooting is that you practically have to green in order to get the ball in, I think there should be more slightly right/left or slightly early/late shoots going in, specially on wide open shots, also the impact of contests seems to be quite high currently...

Nevertheless Free Throws seems to me a little bit too easy and I just tried the related slider but didn't seem to work in a MyLeague Online.

Don’t forget that the free throw slider is backwards compared to the normal shooting sliders. If you want to make FT shooting harder you have to raise the slider. Try 55 or 60. Personally I think that is dumb and it should be switched to he more consistent. But if you lower the FT slider you won’t miss.

Is the freethrow slider actually doing anything? At least in MyLeague Online we switched to RealFT% for Freethrows in our league because shot timing is way too easy for everyone, while aiming is way too hard. And the slider is not changing anything to the difficulty.

The slider won’t affect RealFT%. Only manual shot types I believe. It worked in 2K20 once I realized it was backwards. I had wanted to make it harder and kept sliding it closer to 0 and was never missing lol. At 55 or 60 it’s better. I liked it at 55 since the percentages if you were slightly off were just a little lower than real % but you still green too many.

I don’t recall anything changing with side step threes between the demo and ship. Anyone able to clip a video of the exact shot you’re talking about?

I'm having an issue online with shot aiming. When I initiate the shot at the free-throw line and start to aim, it's stuttering and I have to force it to move. During jumpshot and anything else, I literally can't move the aim slider easily.

...
Green = 100% has ruined this series beyond recognition, to the point where it's a literal joke and will never recover. Congrats 2K, you've made a game for idiots.

It is not only that Green = 100%... is also that slightly right/left = Ridiculous % of misses in high levels... I don't play MyCareer, I only Play MyLeague and MyLeague Online and for the moment it is ridiculous the balance of the game regarding shooting percentages (almost unplayable in Superstar and HOF), and I have to say that I like the new AIM mechanic since the last patch, but the Greens are a problem and also it is inconsistent for posts shots like Fadeaways and Hooks. To me it is not possible to use these post shots with the Shot Meter Off (my preference) as it is not based on speed deflecting the stick like the regular jumper, in those cases the "non visible aim" seems to be random and we have no way to know where it could be without the bar... please @Beluba you have to patch that...

I thought i was the only 1. Shot aiming free throws is a random struggle. I will be on top of the line with an 80 percent shooter, and the shot will be way off. Additionally it shakes like you said.

Button is green city at line. Aiming i am at 60 to 70 percent as a team with solid ft shooters

I don't even try aiming at the line, button for me there. It just doesn't feel right to me personally.

Regarding aiming:

I'm in a good place with it now.

I have the same philosophy as before, the goal is not to focus on adjusting much if at all. My issue was the same as you originally Rob, getting it off in tight spaces.

Here are a couple shots with Melo in a PNO match.

No meter movement in any of those and I was able to get them off pretty quickly and accurately. I'm actually quickly flicking in the down-right position instead of trying to get there.

I agree. I am able to get shots off quicker when I flick the stick down fast. However, I am still moving the aim. I will try the right down aim again. I am scared to do that because even when I flick down fast sometimes the meter is in the middle. I have been unable to get the meter at the end consistent enough.

Fts with the button are to easy. I would shoot 90 percent every game that way.

Yep, and locking it in with RT.

I was getting the middle shots at first, but I found a a distinct pop in that direction always gives me the meter I want.

Button shooting gives you those high % even on HOF?

Aiming on SS and HOF Play Now offline, Play w/Friends and/or MLO is just either green or miss(slights are off) and greens are 10-15%.

Re: Updated Shooting Difficulty In Patch 1.02 (Feedback)

The shooting in this game is absolutely broken. Just went 2-24 from 3, all wide open shots, all with solid shooters, in Myteam. The other guy had Lillard, so he hit anything and everything, naturally.

THIS!!!
I'm a Park player and decided to create a sharpshooting facilitator. My 3 ball is like an 88 and I can't hit jack shidddd. I'm talking wide open 3 pointers with a Ray Allen jumper that barely goes in. It's to the point where my teammates won't even pass me the ball after a while. How the heck do I have a 3 beside my name and I can't make any?!?! You're telling me the only way I can consistently hit 3s is if I go playing boring *** MyCareer and grind badges?!?! That's just crazy. Shooting has never been this irritating for me in a 2K game and I've played since the very first 2K.

Why is 3 point slider at 55 on hof this year Mike. It's always been below 50 in years past. What's different with the tuning this year? Thanks in advance.

Re: Updated Shooting Difficulty In Patch 1.02 (Feedback)

HOF and even Superstar are unplayable in MLO this year... it's ridiculous that every non green shot is miss and also the impact of the defense is unreal (along with the Usain Bolt recovery and close-out speeds)... Ah! and I forgot to say that every player is a beast on defense in HOF... ridiculous.

If you want a sim experience in MLO you have to start with Allstar and modify sliders from there. That's my view and experience with the current status of the game (we know that there are still patches coming that could change a lot of things).

Cheers! ;-)
