In the game it’s like 90% or more.
Maybe for the user w/ perfect timing but definitely not for the CPU.

user vs user is barely playable because of the way too easy 3s.in our league we play on superstar (we also tested hall of fame) and the good teams will shoot 50+ % oder even 60+ % on average in the season....bad teams though still shoot way below 30 % because they are not good at timing...its really annoying.


our best team shoots so good, it would be more efficient to allow wide open layups every defense than allow them to shoot any three. 100 % layup brings 2 points per shot attempt. shooting a three and making it with 69 % means scoring 2.07 points per shot attempt.

Re: Has anyone found a solution for lack of free throws?

I'm a new player on PC current gen. Can't even remember the last time I played a 2k game I'm guessing on PS2. As an offline player this situation just destroys immersion for me. I've tried every suggestion in the thread short of player edits which I just don't have time to waste on. Nothing helps and it's very frustrating. Unfortunately I've already sunk close to 100 hrs trying to balance everything and it's too late for a refund.

Re: Has anyone found a solution for lack of free throws?

hey guys, just checking in on progress with this issue? i've been testing a little but wanted to see if anyone else was seeing any progress? I seem to have gotten the user fta to a respectable number (just had 2 games with 2 diff. teams with 38 and 31 fta) but still struggling to get the cpu to get fouled. has anyone found a way to get the cpu at the foul line a bit more?

See my post in the slider section about defensive sliders leading to more fouls and look at what I have posted. The game I posted over there my team had like 31 FTA and the CPU had 28 or 29. It's a bit of work, but worth it if you are a sim head. That's just one game I am seeing very consistent fouls, fouls shooting, bonus situations, jump shooting fouls and fouls at the basket. And 1s in all my games. I'm seeing everything except for over the back. I have even seen flagrant fouls and clear path fouls with default rosters.

wow thats fantastic!
all the things you mentioned i've done and mentioned before, but i still cant seem to get the cpu on the line! i dont wanna resort to just straight up hacking to get them in the bonus loool. i have seen 1 flagrant in the last week but i am getting at least 3 jumpshot fouls a game now! half the time i feel like the cpu attacks the paint and the foul animation triggers but no call :\

Fun fact: The three West teams who lost yesterday (4/16/22) shot a combined 10-45 on uncontested 3s.

The biggest disconnect between 2K defense and actual real-life defense has to do with open 3 make %. Anyone actually watching some of the playoff games so far (I've seen many of them myself), will clearly see how much of an impact that has on the game.

When open 3s go in at such an absurd rate in 2K, you cannot play aggressive help defense and have advanced rotations that real teams use. That is the truth.
