I didn't speak to the high rate that shooting builds are getting because, based off Mike Wang's own words, that's what is supposed to happen. Shooters should be able to shoot at a higher percentage as I mentioned in the article, albeit not at a 90% clip...even the best shooters in the NBA, especially from 3, shoot in MAYBE the 42-47% range. Most definitely agree with you on the Play Shot, Paint Beast and Glass Locks being the meta right now. Much worse than last year to boot. I made a Play Shot with the main intention of running point with my friends when we were going to step into the Rec/Pro-Am. I didn't realize it'd be as OP as it currently is. I think a part of the problem is the imbalance between offense and defense, as well as the imbalance of the badges on offense and defense. We STILL haven't gotten patch 2 but I can only imagine a nerf coming down the pipes to kill the metas and create more "balance", which will cause a whole new wave of complaints from the community for sure.

I agree with most of this, but I think a lot more could be said on shooting.
They introduced aiming, then changed it which messed up and discouraged of the people who were trying to give it a chance.* Maybe it's a park thing with people shooting with aiming, but in 300 games of rec and another 10 pro-am, and I've never seen an effective aim shooter, high or low 3 point rating.* The fadeaways you mention are rampant among button shooters.* Basically no one is using aiming.
On top of that, the reviewer doesn't really address the ridiculously high rates that good shooters are getting on 3 pointers.* Maybe because he's using a playmaking shot creator which is the most exploited build in the game.* Also not mentioned is the fact that currently that build, plus two big builds, paint beast and glass cleaning finisher,* make up over of the myplayers in the game.
The lack of variety is driven by two factors.* One, high shooters shoot such a higher percentage than those with 'average ratings (70-80) that its simply an imperative that all but the most skilled players take those shooting builds.* We are talking about for a 75 rating + badges to for a 90+badges.* At the other end for big men, any kind of standing layup, dunk or post shot is completely nerfed by a decent defensive player.* So the inside game consists of rebound/miss/rebound/miss/rebound/miss/rebound/make sequences dominated by those two builds.
