Every basket is a swish now

Re: Every basket is a swish now

Prol just to free up resources for game play. They def have the physics, you can tell that by when a pass goes in the basket for points.



It's funny when you have played as big long enough, you know all of the misses. It would be nice to not be entirely sure. They have some really long roll arounds, but you could tell by what shot it was and how it rolled that it was gonna come off or drop in.



Different sorts of makes are just to keep the brain from getting bored. I guess it doesn't matter anymore. But there are a lot of bottoms type shots that are almost as fun to watch as swishes. You know how it can hit the back rim and drop straight down, that's awesome, too.



This is def unacceptable for a sim game. This is something you would expect from their now-defunct competitor.

I just searched for a thread on this, happy to see it was brought up recently, think I'll write about it this week since it's a pet peeve but it is noticeable.

Re: Every basket is a swish now

I could be wrong but I think I saw one of the CPU's layups circle the drain yesterday and go in. It could have just been a putback though. I should have checked the replay.

What do you mean write about it? Like submit a ticket? I was going to do the same as well.

I turned off Perfect Shot Animation both on general and controller settings and the frequency of swishes reduced. It's still around 50% of the shots but it's better than the 90%+ from before. But I only played 2 games, so I ask you folks to also test it and post your impressions here.

Edit: oh, I play with Real player % and mostly Magic and Jordan eras. Don't know if these are also factors.

Saw one of these yesterday, out of a shimmy shot from Moses.

Seeing quite a few lay-ups that bounce/spin around the rim before going in. All jumpers are swishes though.

Forget it, it was just placebo. Tried a couple more games and it's 90% swishes on jumpshots.

This is frankly, draining part of my enthusiasm for the game, as it gives an artificial vibe to the experience.

Re: Every basket is a swish now

Although I play on last gen, I think this issue exists on both gens. I'm pretty sure it started in 2K21 on last gen (or was it 2K20?).

I do see a few layups where the ball spins around and slowly goes in, and a few here and there on jumpers. But, at least on last gen, there is no such thing as the ball hops on the rim and goes in (which is rare anyway) - it's an automatic miss.

That's unlike the older last gen 2Ks that had GREAT ball-rim interaction, where you could see every possible scenario. I play them occasionally and amazed by this aspect if the game. What happened???

I actually contacted 2K a couple of months ago and pointed this out, but looks like that's not a priority for them. It's been like that a few years (at least on last gen) and may not get fixed.

I thought the topic was about jumpshots….which are swishes the large majority of the time.

I actually see a pretty wide variety of layup conversations- though this is online where there may be l more variables. Don’t know.

Re: Every basket is a swish now

I'm 95% cpu v cpu guy and it's the same in those games too. I honestly cannot recall when I've seen a shot go in that wasn't a swish.

Yes, the issue is more frequent on jumpshots. On layups and post shots the frequency drops a bit.

It's worth noting a correlated issue is that, if the ball hit the iron, it never goes in. No suspenseful Jokic iron-bouncing post shots here.

Coming from PS4 2k22, and the issue doesn't exist there. It's the opposite actually, with swishes being rare and almost every ball touching the side of the basket.

Last year (2k23 for PS4) almost every jumper was a swish at first. Then they patched it and there was pretty good ball-rim interactions.

Ahh that's great to know. I'll wait more until coming back to the game then. Thanks.

Re: Every basket is a swish now

I’d also add that it seems like for some guys shot animations, they’ll hit back rim every now and then. Julius Randle for example always seems to hit back rim on his 3s, and maybe 25% of the time it’s a swish. So I’m sure it has something to do with the player shot too.

Also layups are brutal. You’ll drive the lane and know if it’s going in because no matter the angle or speed, the ball just goes up and floats in. Definitely a physics thing but I hope they can patch that up too.

Re: Every basket is a swish now

The ball floating directly up and down on a "flip" lay-up has been in the game for a few years now. Always goes in and takes an eternity to do so.
