Re: NBA 2K21 Next-Gen Gameplay Blog (Part 1 of 3) - Pro Stick Shooting, Pro Stick Dri
I actually find the shot arc addition pretty interesting. It's like they're trying to include everything that actually matters when taking a shot in real life. I do hope it won't be too difficult though, but I'm quite sure it'll make jump shots feel more realistic. I never was so big on timing jump shots in the first place anyway, so adding new layers to jump shooting suits me just fine.
One thing I hope 2K improves for next gen is that player contest system. I want contested step backs and layups, even 100%, to occasionally go in. Rarely of course, but there should always be a chance, even with difficult shots. It's nice that they make open shots stand out as way more efficient like it's the case in real life, but to me there should also be an effort to make contested shots less of a challenge to hit (even with no badges, it should be possible occasionally). When I iso with guys like Lou Will, Harden, or other iso heavy players, I miss more often than not on jump shots, because if your jump shot is a bit contested, you're immediately punished. So I tend to force attacking the paint with players that would not do it so often... And I actually rarely iso anymore because of how inefficient that is on jump shots.
