SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

(and the majority of these shots taken are wide open short/midrange jumpers with almost perfect releases).... then a discussion might be a needed. (Keyword: consistently)

I am gonna tell you....I came in here because I am having issues. I somewhat agree with the OP. At the same time....part of my problem is shot timing. As I get used to the timing of this year's players I am sure I will be much better. One I cant figure out though is LBJ. I am shooting like 20% with him on post fades. He has an 84 post fade and I cant get the timing for nothing. It either says too early or too late and he always misses.

I do think something needs to be adjusted. Missing wide open shots is not unusual....but, elite shooters should not miss 1/2 of the wide open shots they take during a game. The reason why I know there is something that needs to be adjusted is because I have missed a lot of wide open shots but they are mostly rim outs. Thats not realistic. I get about 4-6 rim-outs per game. IRL, you either brick it, pull short, clank the back of the rim, etc....how many wide open rim outs do you actually see in a real game?

But it is you, the gamer and his or her stick skills is lacking. I just presented my side of the discussion on why it falls on the shoulders of the user. I just told you I made open shots with Harrison Barnes 80% of the time in one game. I made the first four outside shots perfectly from outside. Why can I do it and not you? Yes, human element comes into play.

Are you going to touch on any of the statements I made regarding human error?

Throw a dart at the dart board. Human error/element. If you're a computer and you are programmed to hit the center of the dart board 85/90% of the time, it's because the machine has been calibrated with proper angle, speed, throw trajectory with more accuracy.


Edit: if you're so concerned with consistently making outside shots without having to factor in stick skills, I suggest you turn on rating based shooting. My guess is you're probably not going to because you care about stick skills as well, right?

Read my responses to coach in this thread with regards to shooting success and human error on the sticks. You even admit that as you get use to it, you'll get better. Rim out or not, human error on the sticks come into play. Yes, curry makes a lot of his shots, but what we're trying to do in 2k16 is time his shot release correctly. If we're off half a millisecond, that could throw off the shot completely. If we don't push the analog stick enough, even a smidgen, the shot could be off. It comes down to user error. How do you explain me hitting 80% of Harrison Barnes outside open shot and consecutive shots back to back to back from the outside.

James had a bad shooting year last year. He only shot about 35% outside the paint and 32% from three. It was a big dip from his stint in Miami.

Korver is about as elite a shooter as exists in the NBA. He shot 46% from three, 44% inside the line, but outside the paint, and 57% at the rim (on 42 attempts).

If anything, the game is too lenient with what types of jumpers go down and the percentages. I still finish games shooting 60% from the field and 50% from three on my small forward in MyCareer with a 75 three point rating. I don't want them to lower the percentage because a video game can be sim without being a true to life representation of the NBA. I just don't want to go back to patch 4 where shooting a contested fadeaway three was better than trying to post up a big man.

How could u shoot wide open three pointers with shooters and get a B- or C quality shot every time? does that make sense to you guys? then what exactly is a good shot?

[MeloNYK7]

A lot of you offline players are not playing the game on HOF or SIM so u dont understand the frustrations. I have the shot feedback on so I see the shot quality. WIDE OPEN shots, B- B C C-, slight late, slight early, missing with great shooters. Even FTs, great shooters missing a lot of FTs on slightly early or late. I don't want want to make every wide open shot thats the mistake u guys are assuming. But can i at least get a A or A- quality when i shoot wide open with a shooter? that would lead to more consistent shooting open

Turning off the shot meter helped my percentages all around including wide open situations

I've shot over 50% in 14 out of 15 online games.record 12-3...most people i play do not know how to create open shots and just quit when they get frustrated... games i do finish and win, i have less pip than my opponents. you have to take what the D gives you. Pelicans user btw
