While most of its consumers were asleep, Visual Concepts quietly installed a server-side update on Saturday morning that changed the success rate of 3-pointers in NBA 2K16's 2K Pro-Am mode. These adjustments have allowed users to achieve a perfect "green" release from various spots along the 3-point line.

Earlier this month, Gameplay Director Mike Wang revealed that a "green" release in NBA 2K16 multiplies your shot's success rate by two. So if you take a jumper that's graded with a 40 percent probability of going in, and your timing is perfect, that chance of scoring increases to 80 percent.

It's tough man . We're not here playing 12 minutes a quarter , having to deal with fatigue , stifling defense , adjustments etc ... So missing open shots constantly felt forced .

I see the other side too , no one should be shooting 80% on threes as a team every game .

If the game is going the realistic shooting route then other things like loose balls, blocking , passes in traffic need to be adjusted as well.

Damn, so you guys saying shooting was changed were definitely on to something. For the guys that play offline, has this affected play against the cpu?

Do whatever you want, just don't touch the midranges again. For the love of all that's holy, don't touch the midranges again.

It favors certain shot releases and makes ratings irrelevant. I dont like it at all.

Mike said the shooting was changed in every mode. I haven't played MyCareer in a few weeks but I am pretty sure the CPU 3 point shot might be going in more. I hope it's wrong though, CPU already made too many 3s beforehand.

I agree. Please leave the midranges alone. Period.

I just wish Mike will just settle w/ something. Soon as you get used to something it'll be changed again. Either change it back to what it was or just leave it this way instead of trying something else. I prefer the previous but it's whatever.

It was fine the way it was a couple months ago. They went and made it too low then they made it too high when people asked for it to be raised.

I mean 2K is always trying so hard to be realistic but besides the shooting, the gameplay as a whole is still fake. So just put the shooting back to how it was in 2k15 and let us get excellents from the 3pt line with 70 and up 3pt ratings.
How about next year for the Pro Am and Park stop allowing everybody to make Steph Currys and 90 and up 3pt ratings... Its not even necessary. In 2K15, you were perfectly capable of getting a green release with a 70 rated 3pt attribute as long as you were wide open. Keep it that way and worry about the other stuff in 2K because like I said, the game is fake.
