    Re: Shooting in this game is insanely difficult (Current Gen)

    I forgot to mention that I play with game speed on 45. I don’t use Shot Aiming crap.

    So I tried playing with another team besides the Nets to see what the gripe is... I couldn’t hit **** even at 50. As I stated earlier, I have my 3pt & Midrange slider at 47 when I use Nets.

    I don’t think its a problem though because I don’t know the releases... try using your favorite team and see how you do.

      it's hard to show in a video or pics because I dont use a shot meter for reference. Hold the button till your player is at the top of his jump then let go. Generally of you hold too long the ball will go short off the front of the rim. If you let go too early it goes off the back of the rim.

        If you're an offline gamer then you have a world of options to customize the game to your liking. Online however, this is a welcomed change and when I get scorched by someone I can
        At least respect their timing especially of pressured.

        Next gen is a tad easier, but there's still a challenge, because the release changes based on location. I'm down from shooting 60% on 2k20 from 3 to 50% this year and I can live with that.

            Try using shot feedback instead. That way your not overly focused on a meter but at least shot feedback will let you know if you're on the right track with your timing being early or late.

                The problem with this is that offline is suffering for the problems of online. I shouldn't have to spend hours tweaking sliders to balance something as fundamental as shooting in a basketball game just because of people who cheese online, when I've never even touched online.

                And thats the problem with 2K in general, is that offline game has had to suffer the effects from the online game. The more popular MyTeam and Park get, the worse offline game play gets.

                  That's definitely not an exclusive 2k problem. I dont think any game has successfully segregated offline and online modes in terms of gameplay.

                  Madden has tried with competitive/sim settings but they are never completely unique from each other.

                  I just dont think it's very realistic to assume it's even possible to make a game that will be a one size fits all to gamers and hence why sliders exist.

                  I have tried sliders posted here on OS and read the comments on how awesome they are only to try them and think they make the game significantly worse. That doesnt make me right and them all wrong. It just means that a group of people who play the game similarly has found common ground and that I need to keep looking.

                    But that's exactly my point. I can't speak for everyone else, but I have limited time to be able to play. I am not going to waste what precious time I do have for gaming on figuring out how to get the game playable in the first place. There are certain things to be expected that won't perform entirely ideally without tweaks, but we are talking about something as basic and fundamental as *shooting*

                    If a basketball game can't even get that right, its just not gonna get played. Im not going to spend my time getting the game to function properly on the most basic of levels. Im just not gonna play it, period. And after a week of it, I'm already about done with it already.

                        I'm assuming you're talking about current gen?

                        It's not just better, its a different shooting system.

                        According to 2k labs, shooting on next gen is like 2k19 where there is a pure green window (a window in which if you time it right, it will automatically turn green). 2k20 was more difficult because it didn't have this type of success.

                        I'm not enitrely sure why 2k switches back and fourth between difficulty. It's very weird and there doesn't seem to be a plausiable explanation for it

                          Its plausible they went back to 19 because 20 was considered to easy and 21 too hard.

                            Just picked this up after being burnt out on Madden. Haven't played a basketball game in years, but I cannot shoot to save my life with the analog stick...and apparently am colorblind so the shot meter when I try and shoot with square blends in with the wood. Is there a way to make the shot meter bigger in settings that I'm just missing? That may help some.

                              I feel the same way, the meter is far too small.

                                I am in the minority here and I think the shooting is fine. I was on NBA 2K20 and I didn't like how easy the shooting was, I literally played with my sliders at 40 in 2K20 just to have a challenge using Kyrie and Durant.

                                Then again, its all personal preference ....
