Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

Re: Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

I don't even know what setting I'm in anymore I've changed it so much in one playing period. At this point it's driving me crazy [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Re: Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

I’m not sure you can hit tight contests without high risk however?

Definitely can, done it plenty, maybe not as easy as high risk tho

Re: Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

Will give some perspective from my MyNBA game as the Dallas Mavericks. USER (and CPU) sliders set to 50 on everything and 53 for 3PT. All other sliders are set to HOF difficulty apart from a couple of tweaks.

Low Risk - Shooting around 49% FG. Game is giving me pretty realistic numbers. For the love of god I cannot shoot with Kyrie and contested jumpers are non existent.

Normal Risk - Regardless of the analytics done saying this is the hardest setting to green, I had my highest % with normal risk (54%). Could shoot really well with Kyrie and there was a good mix of getting some contested shots in there.

High Risk - Really variable. Can shoot unrealistically bad or unrealistically well depending on how zoned into the game I am (I play all 82 games, 12 min quarters cause I'm insane like that).

All in all, I'd go for Low Risk if you want a more simulation experience, but I'd rather have High Risk for MyCareer/online games.

What about on layups?

Man I wish we had the old shot meter back

Re: Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

I think Rob and I are the only ones left who only play with one team.

Add me to the list. I only play with the Heat. Not that you know who I am.

Ha. I could have sworn I saw you post videos of playing with the MJ bulls?

Normal Risk - Regardless of the analytics done saying this is the hardest setting to green, I had my highest % with normal risk (54%). Could shoot really well with Kyrie and there was a good mix of getting some contested shots in there.

Which analytics? Normal is by far the easiest of the three to hit consistently because it has a much ampler "hit" window than High risk (more than double in fact) however it's not as much tied to RNG as Low risk is. Overall Normal is by far the easiest to shoot with if you can consistently reach at least slightly late/early timing. Low Risk is for those that either cannot even consistently go near the timing window or for those who like to simulate Real % while having the semblance of a player input.

High risk is really for PVP only imo (or for those who like to play with a single controlled player offline) as it's the only setting that has a pure 100% green window but you need to know the shot cue perfectly (as it changes depending on the shot so it's not just muscle memory this time around) and it's really difficult to be able to do so for all the players in a team. However you can also like it to simulate unpredictability (as bad shooting nights vs good shooting nights), as you said.

I would disagree with you. I think that Normal is the hardest to shoot on. There is no pure green window, and the amount of whites you make doesn’t compensate for the less green’s you get.

I rarely have hot shooting games on Normal. Whereas on High risk I can shoot over 50 some games and other’s in the 20’s.

If I go to freestyle and shoot 100 shots, I will make more in high risk everytime. I can’t decide which is more realistic yet though. I need to play more games

Re: Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

Which one allows you to not hit every shot but does let you hit some contested shots and not have to excellent every make? Would love to see a and 1 three on hof. I play on default hof shooting btw

I had multiple 4 point lays on hof default. I don’t think you can green any shot every time this year. However, Normal is less timing dependent than high risk

What about on layups?

This is probably the biggest mix bag I don't anyone talking about. I think it's because people can't figure every single layup animation. I've definitely made some really contested lapup with certain players. Every now and then I miss because I'm so use to not having to time it.

If you practice a certain shot and get the same defense. You can hit some crazy layups. Like this one.

I had practice this over and over before getting it down. When time came in game it was perfect satisfying. I have not left high risk layup since.

I understand the argument of real player% kind of being unfair to a point. But if you put the time in. You can get some really crazy results. You just have to LOCKED IN on animation que.

You hit a and 1 three on hof? I can’t hit a jumper with the meter unless it’s a green. I would love to see an and 1 three on hof. I honestly thought it wasn’t possible. Maybe I don’t play enough

I would disagree with you. I think that Normal is the hardest to shoot on. There is no pure green window, and the amount of whites you make doesn’t compensate for the less green’s you get.

The green window on High risk is about 30% wider than on Normal, while the hit window is almost triple as small. The only way you can compensate the amount of slight late/early makes you can get on Normal with High risk is by being able to hit the green window consistently at a rate of about 25% with every player in the team. If you are so good then ok, you have a point, but on average not many people will be able to do it, especially not those who are accustomed on playing with real %.

I was talking on average playing with a sim mindset but naturally things can change drastically depending on individual circumstances and the way you play. If for example you use rhythm shooting and you are at least moderately good with it then High Risk becomes much more viable as the bonus you get for the green window there is enormous. Also if you like to play with just the superstars/stars of the team (as the game prefers) then High Risk becomes much better than Normal.

I rarely have hot shooting games on Normal. Whereas on High risk I can shoot over 50 some games and other’s in the 20’s.

Sure, High risk is much more unpredictable and you have the chance to get very hot nights (but conversely also very bad ones). Given the way hotness with players works if you are able to hit a couple of shots early with a star on High risk then you are set. This because High risk emphasizes being extremely good with a single player.

If I go to freestyle and shoot 100 shots, I will make more in high risk everytime. I can’t decide which is more realistic yet though. I need to play more games

That's not a good test. Making 100 shots with a single player with High risk vs Normal is highly misleading as you learn the timing cue as you go, making High risk much more effective than it is when used with a full team.

Re: Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

So what do you guys suggest for play now, normal or low ? I want to hit some tough shots as well
