Re: Info from Beluba
Gotta strongly, STRONGLY disagree here. Aiming was a fantastic option for those who wanted to use it. If you didn't want to use it, that's cool, you didn't have to, but the flat out REMOVAL of the feature is not a win at all. I'm pretty deeply disappointed, because aiming was the first time where I felt like I was thinking about my shot the way I do on the real life floor. Retaining it as an option wasn't effecting anyone (with the exception of those running into zens, who will be wholly uneffected as they'll find ways to tune those for shot timing rather easily) except those who enjoyed it. Gotta say I feel a bit alienated by that decision.MLB: Minnesota Twins

Re: Info from Beluba
Removing aiming is an exercise in futility. Excellent timing scripts will still be around, thus zens aren’t going anywhere.
Those zen users somehow dodge all criticisms going on 5 years now. Aiming also made using square boring imo I dunno how I could go back, hopefully precision shooting is the new aiming.MLB: Minnesota Twins

Re: Info from Beluba
If you don't have the PS5 I'm not sure I'd bother. I always get the more expensive versions because I like the online aspect. If you're good waiting another year (and the PS5 could continue to be hard to come by for a while), I'd say just pass on the next gen game, imo.MLB: Minnesota Twins

Re: Info from Beluba
It does suck that consoles are still scarce. But, I don't want the same experience for both generations. It just feels like the current gen is being held back by last gen. I just don't want the current gen differences to be visuals and hardware benefits.Comment

Re: Info from Beluba
Mike just said a little while ago that there is a new shot meter.
Only they know the actual metrics, but I think that it is a reasonable assumption to say that the overwhelming majority of people hated shot aiming. IMO if most people hate a feature and you aren't going to iterate on it, then getting rid of it and trying to make something better isn't the wrong play.Jordan Mychal Lemos

Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.
Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.Comment

Re: Info from Beluba
And if you spent 500+ dollars on a console for one game, that's kind of on you.Comment

Personal preference and all. Holding the stick in any direction always equalled a shot, can't remember the last time it didn't outside of 2k21.
The option to turn it off left you with two routes - either the button, which is pretty lame, or the stick but with only down as the shooting direction.
Previous 2k's let you hold the stick in any direction for a J, using the flick mechanism with triggers to modify dribbles. Don't see why they ever changed it. Worked fine.
The aim scenario was just a distraction. another bar on the screen for user to look at instead of taking in the action on the floor. That's how I felt about it, anyway.
In terms of what it provided for online players in terms of 'skill gaps' - I have no idea, I only play offline, so it's not about removing these things to aid 'cheese' or something of that regard, or because I couldn't 'get to grips with it'. It just didn't feel intuitive, and took me out of the game.Last edited by daveberg; 08-21-2021, 12:04 PM.-----------------------------------------

Re: Info from Beluba
They hated it because they a) worked with it for the first weekend, got frustrated and gave up and then b) it was used for zens (which we've established won't be stopped by this change). It wasn't a forced feature. It was an option. A bunch of people not liking an option doesn't mean it should be removed altogether. Online players don't like real player percentage for the most part, that doesn't mean it can't be an option.

Like a Vison Cone or Target Passing for Madden, some mechanics just bomb, and they get axed. I would also imaging that they have metrics that show that Real FG% is fairly popular for offline players, so it makes sense that it would stay.Jordan Mychal Lemos
