Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

[alabamarob]

A lot of us complained about the unrealistic shooting percentages on open shots ever since 2k started with perfect releases.

Guys were shooting 60 to 70 percent from on open 3s, and you could turn a poor shooter into a great shooter by perfecting a release.

With the new shooting options you can now go back to guys missing open shots, and more realistic jump shooting numbers. On Normal risk, normal reward you can’t green every shot. Even with a perfect release.

WHO will keep using the high risk and high reward shooting option, now that we have options a more realistic option? And why?

Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

Online players will, surely. Mostly an ego thing IMO, they assume it means timing is more difficult and therefore if they green everything then they’re basically a pro (the mindset that is killing modern online gaming, but I digress).

Do the other shot timing profiles really make it harder to green shots? I’m using Low Risk-Reward, and I thought the only difference was that “Slightly Early/Slightly Late” timed shots go in at a higher rate. It effects your ability to green them as well?

It does affect your green window. High risk has a bigger green window

Interesting. So I should assume Low Risk has the smallest green window? That’s fantastic if so.

I was of the opinion that difficulty level ( pro, allstar etc…) was the deciding factor of green window
And risk is just timings penalties

There’s an option to use difficulty based timing as well

2k lab did a breakdown, and I can confirm from playing that it is more than that. High risk has a bigger green window AND a 100 percent pure green window.

Normal risk has no pure green window. Even if you time the shot perfectly, there is only a 60 percent chance it will green. This, there is no purely green window.

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.

this makes sense for the park and stuff but not pno where you literally have to know the jumpshots for like 200+ players and constantly using new teams i hate how all this park and myplayer stuff has trickled down into the nba game. they shoulda just left it without all these shooting options that are just making everything more complicated

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 [emoji28]

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?

what is it set to? from my understanding its whatever the users preferences are that apply to all modes -- needa see sources cuz im tryna figure out what difficulty PNO is set on

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

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

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...
