My Player shooting is impossible

[Rattler17]

I dont get it at all. I thought it was a release issue but in shoot around i hit everything from outside, i had ONE game where i broke double digits in points, I play a 3pt specialist PG so my 3pt rating is at 82 and my Medium Shot is at 80, tried to adjust and work for points and go for the layups (rated 70) nothing happens. its on pro so you'd figure the ball would drop almost every time but it doesnt. I cant get any skill points to spend because the My Player in game goals are useless to me because i cant sink a basket anyways.

Any ideas?

Work the ball around and get open shoots. If your cold from the field then try getting a few mid range jumpers. Seems to get me back on track. I play 8 min quarters and average 20 ppg. I shoot around 45%.

Some nights I get hot and score 30 plus pts. (44 is my high) other nights I only get 10.

I have no problems.

You just gotta get open.

If you look at the shot quality feedback you'll see the problem. Jump shots from close and mid range seem to be effected far more by a player being near you than they should be.

A shot that looks easy and under little pressure may well be a d- just because a defender is not that far away from you. They don't have to be making much of an effort to block at all.

Me to I have no problems.Some nights I'm cold some nights I'm hot.Just like real NBA players.

He also is probably taking off balance shots and not set when he is getting ready to shot.You can just chuck the ball up and be off balance like NBA live and expect it to go in everytime.

yeap that sums it up. anytime a defender moves toward you without jumping it's considered contesting and it will more likely make you miss

seriously? you mean like how people who can rarely shoot already but make shots consistently. all the cpu has to do is pump fake one time and shoot they will make the shot a majority of the time.

Lower your 3pt rating to 71, get a foot behind the 3pt line, notice the space the defender gives you, knock it down. Ever since I upgraded my rating, I shoot really poorly because the defender is closer and you get a better modifier for being open even with the lower rating.

Like everyone said, you must not be as open as you think you are. Especially on pro, you shouldn't have any trouble hitting double digits. On pro, you can shoot a jumper from behind a screen all day long.

Getting your teammates to play well is the difficulty on MP, not so much your own player.

Yes I also argue you aren't taking very good shots.

I've been playing the MyPlayer for only two years now but I have dominated both years with my Scoring Point Guard. You have to be a little patient as you need to build up your skills, but I easily led the league in scoring every year (1 season in 2k11, 3 1/2 seasons in 2k12).

My favorite attributes are Shot in Traffic and Shoot off Dribble. I boost these up as quickly as possible because I like to take runners and floaters off the dribble and pull up off the screen. I also demand that you use the shot stick if you are not already. Shot Stick > Square Button.

It might be a nice tip to know that I score about 75% of my points on MidRange Jumpers. I get a lot of buckets in the paint and near the basket off drives and fast breaks, etc and I get one or two threes every game, but the majority of my work is done from MidRange.

Just thinking about it is making me crave that feeling you get when you see your shot swish through the net in MyPlayer. I love watching the shot from that angle because I use Press Cam for team games.
