Why Shot Timings Need Revision on SS & HoF

No offense, but did you read the OP?

The TLDR; is that player ratings are irrelevant. Some players just have the "right" shot animation, and others do not. Your advice is sound. It is. I would suggest that to anyone. However, just hop into practice mode with Kyle Korver and test my theory.

Excellent discussion OP. The shooting on hof sim is unpredictable at best. The game simply needs to reward open shots more pm HOF. I'm sure many of you have been tracking my online league game stream thread have witnessed the brick fest. I am Portland and Utah user. I am very successful shooting with Portland because of their HOF friendly shot releases. The jazz on the other hand have several players who simply cannot obtain perfect releases even though I work just as hard for I open shots as I do with the blazers. And the lastly, thedream2k13 is correct about instant catch and shoots being nerfed. 2k dev OG once referred to this as the "one pass away catch and shoot cheese." Not sure I agree with his interpretation or rational for nerfing instant catch and shoots but it is what is. After 2 months of playing on hof sim only we have a big enough sample size to know that what the OP is discussing is a real issue with this year's shot mechanics on hof sim. I am a late convert to this train of the thought but like alabamarob said the numbers don't lie. Finally, the stock roster had wes Matthews with a glitched shot that could never hit perfect. However with 2k having updated his sig shot, he is now wetter than wet, almost too wet. If you guys saw my stream against okc last night, you saw the evidence.

Yes I agree. some players animation shots are mystery? but I was talking about the miss shot's, green are no greens, some shot will still fall in.

Do you think we depend on the meter to much?

Yeah, I remember seeing that. To me it's just that they have some randomizer about whether you'll get a perfect release or not and it seems to work differently leaners. Don't really know how effective they're online, haven't taken many and haven't seen others take many either.

But it really seems that some players will get perfect releases and others won't in a very disproportionate number.

Not trying to say anything by this...but for what its worth...I read this post, hopped on PS4, freestyle practice with Kyle Korver on SS/Sim and at the top of the key got a 'green light special' perfect release on my 7th attempt on a catch and shoot.

Did you stop after your 7th attempt? I'd just try shooting for a few minutes and count the number of "perfect" releases.

Better yet, try it on HOF sim and get back to us with your results. Plus your sample size is too small.
