You're taking this way too literal. You actually think that people only have NBA 2K21 in their library and no other games to play. There's a difference between buying a next-gen console to play only and only one game on it versus buying a console because you want to experience the next-gen version of your favorite game.

With backwards compatibility and Xbox Game Pass, it's impossible to purchase a next-gen console without having other games to play.

Also everyone keeps going on about gamepass but if you have missed out on the ps4 then the PS5 playstation plus collection is an absurd value giving you instant access to many of Sony's best games from the generation at no extra cost. Assuming you buy plastation plus to play online and such.

Both companies made the smart decision of backwards compatibility. It made the purchase of a next gen console that much more of a no brainer for me, because I pretty much have my entire digital library from the previous generation. Between Game Pass and my personal digital library, I had 250+ games (this is not an exaggeration) going into the next generation. Hence, I'm not sure why the other poster is stuck on people buying a next-gen console for "1 game".

If they don’t have an option for shot aiming, I’m not playing it this year

The idea that the ps4 and ps5 games are going to have similar gameplay is concerning. Best case scenario is the ps4 is getting a gameplay overhaul.

Likewise, if precision shooting isn’t similar I can’t go back to tapping square.

Shot aiming should've been for offline mode only. I would use that but not against some cheater online.

They should make square offline only as well than using that logic. Y’all still don’t realize zens work with square and have for years?

Ffs...I like the shot aiming since I can finally get a grasp on hook shots and fade aways. 2k could've kept it for offline use only.

Wtf would your solution be? Real shot percentage for online? All I'm getting is that online completely ruined the game for offline gaming. Innovation is gone because of online.

... it's feasible to keep for online too. The fact of the matter is that there really isn't a "solution" to zens online and aiming was just a scapegoat.

When it comes to Real Player% does user input matter at all or will the result be the same regardless of how long or quick you hold the shot stick/button? I've used shot timing for as long as it's been an option so I don't know exactly how Real Player% works.

By and large it doesn’t matter, but on close-range falling-away sorts of shots you can kinda hang and delay releasing the shot to let a jumping defender pass—at least it feels that way to me; could be placebo or just a canned animation that doesn’t feel canned in the course of a game.

I don’t know how you guys use shot aiming. In that quick amount of time to somehow finesse the stick to perfectly match the line? It just jolts to one side or the other for me.

What I did do is turn the shot meter off. So now I’m just shooting with no meter and user timing. It’s awesome as it feels so much more natural and immersive. I can actually see and feel jumpshots now and not a generic meter.

In theory, the closer you are to center when you pull down on the stick, the less moving back and forth you should have to do.

But didnt they change it so you always had to swipe left or right, depending on how fast you initially pulled the right stick down?


All 30 members of our online league went back to shot timing. In somewhat competitive matches, you cannot keep up with someone who uses shot timing...

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.

News bruh, you just exposed your elementary skill level if you on the court "thinking" about your shot.

Imo everyone "thinks" about their shot but that thinking process is usually extremely quick. A lot of it is based on muscle memory.

With shot aiming there was just too much to process for me. I'm supposed to be controlling the best basketball players in the world but something as simple as a wide open jumper became more complicated than simply "shoot the ball." I shouldn't struggle doing something in a videogame that I can do IRL without much thought at all. I gave it sometime but it just didn't seem worth learning when I could simply rely on shot timing and not have to stare at a meter every time I shot the ball, which isn't required for shot timing.

I mean... I'm not that great but it was just a manner of speaking. Lol. I'm just saying that the quick nature of aiming was similar to the natural process that takes place in the shooter's head in that split second they're taking place. It's what you're thinking about (albeit, extremely quickly).
