Increased Online 3 Point %

Re: Increased Online 3 Point %

I found out how to stop the 3pt chuckers. You have to be within 3cm of them when they shoot it. As long as you play flawless defense, you're good. Give 'em more breathing room than 3-4 cm and you're toast.

3 point shooting online really grinds my gears. like you say here, if you're in the players face and contest the shot, they will usually miss. thats fine. but it seems like there are random games where ill go against someone that makes an insane amount of contested 3's. and on top of that, i always seem to miss my open 3's (i only takes 3's if they are open unless in desperation mode) with steph curry, clay thompson, etc when my opponent is making all their contested 3's. im starting to think its the momentum system that causes this to happen.

Wow. Now I know why I had both the best and worst experiences in blacktop within a week. I had a blacktop session right before Christmas with my buddy and it was actually fun with 3s not being overpowered. Threes would still go down but not at an absurdly high level where that became the main point of the mode.

Then last week we had another session and it was honestly the least fun we had in the mode since the game came out. My player is a center, so guarding players that are quicker than me is already putting me at a disadvantage, but i learned to deal with it by using the right stick to contest shots and anticipate any penetration into the paint. However, all I had to deal with were idiots who run back and forth outside the 3 point line until my center can't catch up and then shoot a 3. No screens, no nothing. Even when I got help they would still shoot a 3 and make it most of the time. Not to mention the contested 3 pointers off the dribble and overall dominance of the 3 in that mode. I mean, what's the point of passing it to the big man down low if the other team (and your own team for that matter) can just shoot a 3 every time down and score over half the time?

What irked me even more was the few times when right off the inbound, a particular player shot it off the check and made about 2/3 shots. Absolutely ridiculous considering that they moved the check point back just to combat that issue. That's when you know that something isn't right. Oh, and my center was rated around 60 at 3 pointers. I thought "what the hell" and started shooting them when games were out of hand. I made them at a 1/3 clip with bad releases half the time. Sorry about the rant, but something has to be done. It was so much better for that short period of time.

Agreed, 100%. Same exact experience over here.
