Re: NBA2k23 Shooting

To anyone still struggling it gets better. I spend maybe 10 mins in Brinkley’s gym shooting before i jump in the Rec and i tend to shoot very well in online games now


Just gotta pick a release and stick with it. I know dudes that change their J every time they have a bad game. That’s not good. Pick a release and master it. Choose a shot timing in the controller settings and stick with it

Exactly!

I was just posting about offline
And wishing the green window is all star with the AI Hall of Fame benefits

Luka plays way smarter and different on hall of fame
And my gripe is the sliders

2k should go back to premade sliders
So you don't have to worry about difficulty levels

For example: if Hall of Fame all it took for Luka to be super aggressive intelligence the offensive awareness premade slider at 80 and I could use that slider on all levels
But unfortunately I'm just dreaming because if I did that on allstar Luka would be playing like a drunk chucker


So my request for 2k24 that the sliders are not tied to difficulty levels if I want the AI Hall of Fame benefits on all-star we could just adjust the slider

Re: NBA2k23 Shooting

The hook shot is completely failed. The timing of some animations are very very very bad. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.... from the superstar difficulty mode and without shot meter is catastrophic. And the shots close to the rim the timing is horrible.

I agree. With regular shots the timing makes sense with the realese point of the shot animation. Clise shoys dont seem to follow that same notion and i honestly dont even know what the game is looking for most the time so i brick everything in close.

Re: NBA2k23 Shooting

Kareem’s is bad. Almost seems like a mistake. You have to release the ball when the ball is still at his hip.

The rest I’m pretty used to, playing as a big in MC for so long. I use hooks pretty often across all modes. They are a lot more viable this year.

If you are using layup timing I’d suggest turning on the meter at least for a while so you can get the feel of what layups have what timing.

Still applies tbh, whether it be Brickleys gym or 2KU

And that is why they need to bring back shot aiming

I feel like the 2k slider makers have it wrong in thinking that whatever difficulty you use as a base persists after slider changes. I started with eccentric's first set and even though SS was my base, it was absolutely not SS AI.
So I went to default SS for a bit and got much better games. Saw his V3 and gave it a shot and it plays much better only the AI on offense was horrible. Wasn't so much shot percentages as much as they just felt dumb. I made a minor tweak to one of the awareness sliders (5 points in favor of AI I think) and I've lost 4 of the last 6.

It almost feels like the same system from Madden years back where difficulty level is dependent on slider thresholds/totals

Re: NBA2k23 Shooting

My shooting is finally getting more consistent in MyTeam. I'm really starting to like this change. The one thing that it replicates best this year is the shooter being nervous or hesitant about taking a shot with a closing defender. For the moment, I'm really not seeing a lot of reckless three-point shooting like last year.

Paint mashing is still a problem, but using the "Dig" has been helping a lot.

This is my thoughts exactly!

I can't shoot 3s or stepbacks at all on Superstar or HOF, but think All-Star feels great for shooting. However, I can blow out the CPU by 20-30 every game on all-star and can win on SS. I want the All-Star shooting with HOF AI and challenge from the CPU. The game plays so great minus shooting on that difficulty.

So if you put the difficulty on HoF and then edit does it remain the same? Always wondered that. Like if you change one slider one number, example 50 to 49. Does the HoF AI disappear? @EccentricMeat

Re: NBA2k23 Shooting

Not sure how that part works. Some of the slider gurus here probably do.

I just want the shot timing from all-star, with everything else HOF.

I haven't figured out w/ sliders how to get that outcome.

The prevailing opinion is that whatever you use as a base before you begin making slider changes matters.
For example if you set it to HOF, but then manually adjust all sliders so they are at the all star setting, it will not play like All Star.
