3 point attempts statistics

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

No it means they average 11 3pt attempts vs your team and not for the season smart guy. What your team allows isn't their average. And there is no such thing as too few 3pt shots. This fad of high 20's 3pt attempts in NBA is new and in a lot of people's opinion isn't good basketball. A lot of young players are leaving off the fundamentals of the game and are just coming down jacking up shots. I'm not saying this isn't important to some of the posters here I'm just saying enjoy this great basketball game instead of missing out on some fun due to this "issue".

I get all types of shot attempts. Here's a post from one of my games that show they do take more than single digit attempts

Regardless of what you think is good basketball or isn't, is quite literally of no interest to me. The very simple and inarguable fact is that many NBA teams shoot a lot of 3-point shots. I am one of the people who want gameplay and statistics to reflect the NBA that I watch. Not what some random on a website thinks is good or bad basketball.

If you don't like how the league shoots 3's then I am all for a slider to make it so that 3's are taken less often, as to please you. I'd also like that slider to work so that I see teams take more 3's. This way we're both happy in our perfect/imperfect NBA experience.

I'm happy either way.

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

A little off topic, but "good basketball" is getting a good open shot. That includes 3-pointers, and the NBA is filled with elite shooters. Statistically, a 3-point shot is a better shot than a 2-pointer (unless it's a dunk/layup) if you can hit it over 35% of the time. The NBA is evolving and the offenses are more complex these days, it's not a fad. It's progressing to better basketball.

If a certain player has poor fundamentals and "jacks up shots", that's a him problem. Has nothing to do with 3-pointers.

My comment was about the number of attempts and not the 3pt shot.

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

IRL, 20 teams avg more than 20 attempts per game and only 1 avg less than 15,

CPU averages under 10 3 attempts and often less than 5

I've played with the tendencies sliders but to no success.

Has anyone found a fix?

I left all tendencies at 50, but i lowered the attack basket slider to 25 and immediately saw a difference. I am now currently playing with it at 35 though.

I noticed yesterday when I switched to 2-3 the CPU starting shooting more 3's than when I was in man to man which was pretty realistic IMO.

Yep, you are completely correct.
I guess most people stick to man to man but if you change it up to a 2-3 zone the cpu most definitely shoots more 3's

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

I only have 3 point tendencies at 60 and I'm getting 30 plus 3"s attempts for most teams and teams who don't shoot a ton of 3,s are still shooting like 10 to 15 3"s a game lower attack basket if you want more 3"s also just simple go into coach profiles and raise it if you must but I'm having no issues with teams shooting enough 3"s , also depends on your defense , I played Golden state today and they jacked up 39 3's lol

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

If you lower the attack basket slider, you wont get guards attacking the rim

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

I have attack basket at 40 and they attack it plenty actually anything over 50 for attack basket the game comes sluggish near the paint and guards try to over dribble and force their way in the paint actually there is to much play in the paint IMO I like post play though , my only issue left I'm having is the computer not spreading the floor it's frustrating but all other game play is excellent I only play against the computer and watch games so on line play is irrelevant for me

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

Honestly I don't have my slider sets posted on here and not sure exactly how to do it , but I think it's a combo of things that makes my sets play so well but I really need to test more for the computer play I would like to see them spread the floor more , I would keep tendencies between 40 and 60 otherwise you are basically eliminating player attributes and coach profiles

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

Keep in mind also wolverine when I play defense I only control the center 80% of the time to eliminate constant switching I let me guards watch the perimeter

This is another key point. If you constantly switch and play tight d on the ball handler then obviously they are unlikely to take the 3pt shot but if you just control 1 player then this gives them a chance to do their own thing.

Yes they do. Try it out..

Re: 3 point attempts statistics

Yeah a lot of people want to see "what they see on TV" but they don't play the game like what's "played on TV." Teams switch up defensive strategies all game, they call time-outs in certain situations, They play under screens, over screens, give space, force left, force right deny the ball etc... All of these options and more are in 2K15 but some people just play the game without using these in depth options which really affect the game. Some of these options will limit PIP, some will give up more 3's, some will take players out of the game, some will limit FGA. It's all in HOW YOU play. I'm not knocking anyone I'm just pointing out don't expect certain things AUTOMATICALLY if you aren't doing certain things.
