Does 3PT% need tuning?

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

Yes. They need to be toned back JUST a little I shouldnt be able to go 9/10 with KD on my way to 70 points on HOF simulation.

The problem is contested 3's are made just a LITTLE to much and the A.I. constantly leaves open shooters alone and I've noticed that nearly the entire team sometimes crashes for help defense, leaving guys like Allen open, even if he has killed us from 3 all game. Nothing in the defensive settings prevent this either.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

1. The success rate for fadeaways need to be lowered.
2. The closeout CONTEST shooter area vicinity needs to be tweaked
3. Jumpers are almost too easy from mid range in 2K11 I lowered it to 47. In 2K11 most players had at least two normal jump shot timing releases, depending on the animation. In this year's game the release and animations are so smooth and buttery lol it is hard not to get a great release for any shot, spin, fade hop step. It doesn't look like the degree of difficultly is lowered IMO for some of these shots.
4. The online ranked games I haven't played yet but I see you guys have removed the shot indicator. So is the problem you had to give a greater shot release window due to online lag? If it defaults to Default playing style it might be an issue as well or the difficulty needs to be raised.
5. I encourage anyone that still has 2K11 play it under Sim settings and you should notice that mid range in that game success rate is lower. For 3pt's the success rate was much harder against the CPU all star level to the point it needed to be adjusted playing the CPU. Also compare your 3pt % between this game and last year in your profile. I am easily shooting better and not even using better shooting teams.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

I can't really comment on other modes. But in MyPlayer the 3PT shooting has got to get lowered. It doesn't matter if we're all in their face, they will make the three.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

Alot of times when you are in a position to press Y you are either sagging enough not to get a foul or you end up doing it late so unless you actually get the block you tend not to affect the shot as much as you would like, with hands up defense you are directly on the offensive player and he is forced to immediate adjust the shot.

you guys do this online? it's impossible to play on ball defense online with all the latency and added momentum this year...

every time i try and get on a guy and push the stick up to get my hands up, i end up just completely ****ing the whole thing up and they get an easy *** jumper... it just DOESN'T WORK.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

I take back everything I said...Now that I understand the controls and how it all works this game is pretty awesome. 3pt shooting is fine.

This is like NBA Live 10 all over again.

I just played a cheeser online who had over 40 points with Ray Allen, all on 3-pointers! I adjusted to "pressure shooters" and "play tight on/off ball" with Allen specifically early in the 1st quarter.

Yet he jacked up a 3 on 99% of all possessions, and nearly all of them went in.

I can attest to this, i just played a guy online who would come down and drill a 3 at the top of the key everytime with Jason Kidd. He had 6 three's by half-time, so to answer Beluba's question...yes it needs tuning online

Offline, the CPU makes some BS shots at the end of shot clocks a little too often, but other than that it is fine

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

With a ratings adjustment and maybe bringing the slider online down to 48 it would really fix any issues.

If the slider is too low then hitting wide open 3s becomes a problem and every single person online will zoning all game. It's already a bit of an issue since the perimeter ball movement isn't quick enough.

Ratings are the real culprit here though. I played some relatively lag free games online last night and there were no issues with three point shooting since I could actually keep up defensively and properly contest. I held a Thunder user to 3/20 behind the line.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

Hey i changed shot tendency instead of the actual 3pt slider and it work pretty well. Played the Kings just to experiment. First half had adjusted the tendency. T. Evans didnt throw up any 3pt's. But, in the second half he lit me up. Going 3-5 from 3pt. And 13-19 from the field (unreal!) Held him to under double digits the first half by looking down the paint. Next half just lit me up shooting contested jumpers and 3's. This was an offline franchise and his Med shot, and 3pt. is in the 70's

Seeing far too many contested threes drop. Its like the D doesn't exist.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

online it definately needs tuning, people abuse it badly, offline it's fine with slider adjustment.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

Please adjust it for myplayer. I have to shoot threes all day just to keep up with the other teams shooting. My player makes 12-16 threes a game and his 3 point rating is only 71. I hate having to shoot all of these threes just to keep up.

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

Make it so that he CPU teammates defensive awareness is better(closer to their man) and reward good defensive adjustments on plays (hand in face results in less made shots)...

Re: Does 3PT% need tuning?

I think they are good right now. I miss 3's and make 3's
