How does the OS community feel about shooting in NBA 2K20?

If Play Now Online Player Control is any indication of how shooting is online then it's fine. I've seen a blend of people that don't know releases missing wide open and people that do know releases making their shots.

What was interesting is that in Czar's shooting video, he said a full white bar doesn't necessarily raise your percentage. It's either green or a set percentage.

I wonder if it's always been like that or if that's 2K20's design.

If true, that’s ridiculous. Shooting is too fundamental to the game of basketball to make the percentages so binary. Hard for me to believe that’s the route they chose intentionally.

I personally love the shooting. It's my favorite part of the gameplay this year.

Just for clarification - when someone says they got a full white bar, are they talking about a slightly early/slightly late release? Because I've never see an entirely full bar other than a green release, and it doesn't take much of a timing miss to go from slightly early/late to just "early/late".

Basically, I want to know if there's a designation I'm missing between "Slightly" and Green.

Personally I feel like my "Slightly"s go down at a close to realistic rate. It might be tuned a bit lower than real life frequency because of greens making up the rest of the make %. Early/Late is where my %'s really drop.

Pure speculation but I'm guessing they did that because of the new Flexible Release badge?

Right now we don't fear shooters outside Golden State the way we should. The early meta online is "play zone since guys can't make you pay." and that can't be a thing...this is the NBA.

Are you trolling ? NBA teams play the %’s all the time.

Personally I look at the concept as a middle ground from the feedback we got in '19 where there were green's everywhere.

I just wonder how much openness play's a role into the %'s. Shooting this year reminds me of the older 2K's...where all we really had to go on was the form, lol
