3 pointers better than midrange now?

[dxyyz1]

Is anyone else getting better shot grades on open 3s than on open midrange shots now?

Yep, that's the very first thing I noticed when I started playing games after the first shooting adjustment. It's kind of absurd to me, to tell you the truth.

Had a game where I shot 11/20 from 3.

But my opponent was playing zone and leaving me wide open all game so maybe that's why.

You can't rely solely on the grades to assess which is a better shot. Shot grading is done on a sliding scale (so a 50% shot from 5 feet is a much lower grade than 50% from 30 feet.)

For a shooter with an equal 3PT and mid-range rating, a wide open 3 is higher % than a contested middie. But an open middie is still higher % than an open 3.

Prior to the tuner patch, an open midrange could net you an A- to and A+. Now the average is a B- to a B, with the rare B+, while open 3s average a B+ to an A.

That's the way it should be, but I've been testing this on wide open, no one even close to me midranges and threes. And, no exaggeration, I'm averaging consistently higher grades on open 3s than open middies.
