I love the things 2K is doing to add depth to the game but if sagging off bad shooters (Nance hit a three too...and he's worse than Randle) just means they'll hit open shots its all for naught.....that's literally the shot you want. Randle did the same thing last year:

I dont like this randle 3s too i also saw Wiggins with like 4 3s in this game.

LD2k said they were playing on SS.

Randle also missed wide open 3s with good releases. At the end of the day it's not like Randle would miss 9/10 3pts wide open in the NBA.

Everything looked good except for the corner three point accuracy. This is why i never play on ss. The shooting is way to easy on that level.

The problem is he didn't have ten attempts...he shot four....meaning he was shooting 50% from deep. #canthappen

And i'm lost...are we saying good releases = success? So like, should Dwight Howard hit threes with good releases too? I'm confused.

No I'm not saying that but I am saying wide open + good release + some luck = makes.

You have to remember how the percentages work also. Let's say they have him at a 60 3pt rating which equals 25% from the devs. So he hits 1, the next shot still has a 25% chance, it doesn't mean he will miss his next 3.

Also it's possible that he got a bump from Lonzo since I'm sure he has Dimer badge so he might have been shooting at a 30% chance and made two of those and missed two of those.

I also watched Ball miss couple threes that seemed open or I think were lightly contested, which I'm sure he has a much higher 3 than randle.

Yeah that was my only beef....Gameplay was tight overall. Super-Duper glad to see the steal/block spam not being a thing anymore. Best part? Ronnie back on defense with Teague (had 5 fouls from all that damn reaching lol) and him saying "dont foul" and pulling up because he didnt want to pick up a 6th....you literally only see that in real hoops. LOVED IT.

Real basketball behaviors FOR THE WIN. NOTE TO DEVS: All it took was consequences to do that.

Nope he had six attempts and hit 2 of em, thats 33%. If you consider most of the shots were wide open corner threes, i think the percentage is ok. Even if he was shooting 50% nobody can say his shooting percentage is too high based on this low sample size.
