High risk has a 100 percent green window. Normal does not. That’s the key difference more than the green window size.




That is correct. Difficulty can affect window size, but it doesn’t affect pure green window versus non pure green window.

Wait, so even if you time it perfectly on the Low/Normal Risk profile, it’s RNG whether the game counts it as green timed? Or is it more that the green window shifts in response to defensive contests, like how the window would shrink in 2K24 if a defender contested mid-shot animation?

I don’t have an issue with either scenario btw, just trying to understand the settings. I use Low Risk-Reward specifically so that user timing only plays a part in the outcome, and is not the sole deciding factor. I want the user timing to decide if you CAN make a shot (where if you time it poorly it simply won’t go in, but if you time it well then it depends on ratings and defense). This would also explain why I randomly get a Slightly Early/Slightly Late release when it feels like I released at the exact point a previous shot gave me a green release

My timing isn’t off, it’s the game that is wrong! https://youtu.be/-dFqIqCMT9E?feature=shared

PNO isn’t set to High Risk

I am not sure about low risk, but I know there is no 100 percent make window for normal risk.

I believe that only high risk reward and difficulty based has a 100 percent make window.

You can’t go into the control settings during one and choose your own shooting preferences?

you can change visual cue timing i think so push release etc but not the high risk difficulty based etc settings which is confusing because why would they change it for just PNO

A better way to put it is that PNO isn’t locked into High Risk like Pro-Am or Proving Grounds. You can set your shot profile to whatever you want.

Source is that slightly early’s and late’s still go in

and then we have online leagues where you cannot change the setting. or to me more specific, you can change it but is has no effect at all...

oh jesus christ ok i misunderstood i thought you were saying when i set mine to high risk it doesn't apply online lol. my overall pt is that all this stuff and options are catered to mycareer players and i don't like it. i wish it was how it was back in the old days shooting wise where it would just be difficulty based and you didn't need to edit your release pt
