SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

[MeloNYK7]

Just like last year I dont understand why the shot meter was brought that. U either miss wide open shots or they go last yr patch #4 and hit every contested shot. This game is not even fun online. Both teams playing zone shooting 15% from three with shooters. Real fun.

IMO even real NBA players are not that sharpshooters on threes.

Based on NBA 3PT% stats:

Korver - 49%
Curry - 44%
Thompson - 43%

I watched tons of nba games last season and I noticed that Korver will miss some open shots as well. I think nba 2k16 is much better compared to 2k15 due to shooting difficulty.

In nba 2k15, Otto Porter is like Reggie Miller and I didn't enjoy it.

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

This is the best 2k has ever done regarding shooting imo

I only shoot open 3 pointers and make around 75 percent

If i play good D on a you and all you do is chuck jumpers

Your gonna be out of rhythm wide open

please don't start this **** again look at what happened last year, you guys claim you are the "sim nation forum" well guess what...3 point shooting is the lowest % shot in basketball its supposed to be hard elite shooters miss open looks in real life. Look at steph curry the greatest shooter of all time, he was only at .443 from beyond the arc last year and that is considered lights out shooting

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

This game is a blast to play online. Currently 13-2 with my Knicks.

Not sure about the shooting 15% exaggeration. So far I've played 1 zone user who ran with the Clippers and I abused his 3-2 and 2-3 zones.

If you're looking to iso/run 1 pick and roll and kick out to shooters all day then you're going to really hate this game.

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

You really have to let the offense come to you. They say in real life, take what the defense gives you. This it's more take what the game gives you. Move the ball to guys curling about and to bigs you'll be surprised at the looks you'll get.

You can't really force anything, especially threes. But always take them if you got a good look just like real life. I have no issue with you actually having to try on your shooting now.

I've had plenty of deep chucky threes go in too if it's like a Curry or korver.. I won't take a chucky deep three with a Conley but I can act like I'm about to attack and stop and drain a 3 right from the line.

Opportunity is definitely there you just have to play like each player plays, honestly, almost too insane how close each player plays true to self (minus legends).

Also, you can't just run and gun and chuck quick one in or zig around until you have a tiny opening and splash it with a shiny green light on top

Open threes go in at 40% in the NBA. Curry hits at 45% and Korver at 50%+

Wide open = automatic is largely a myth.

I'm making the shots I should be at good percentages on All-Star with GSW.

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

I use the Raptors, Clippers, Warriors and Spurs online and I have no problem making shots. My only problem is getting good looks. I usually shoot around 33-44% from deep which is realistic. I might see a guy like Redick miss a few open 3s but then I look at the box score and see that he's shooting 2/5 (40%) which is great for an elite shooter. Late closeouts effecting shot quality is a bigger problem.

Good let's keep it that way.

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

I feel like shooting is the best it's ever been, I've missed wide open green releases and I've made contested shots, but that's the way the NBA goes. Even the best of the best miss wide open shots.

Really hope 2K doesn't change the shooting, we don't need another patch four

Hey men, not to belittle the OP. That is definitely NOT my intention with this post. But to the guys who came in a poster alternate experiences. This is exactly what we need. So we get a full picture of what guys are seeing.

Good descriptions of people who may be playing a bit differently but achieving positive results.

There are so many skill levels of players and opponents and play styles that in a forum it be hard to gauge what is a legitimate issue. Keep being vocal of course about what you may see wrong but DEFINITELY about what you think is working or close to working.

There is no perfect shot tuning it will always be a little too easy or a lot too easy or a little too hard or a lot too hard depending on your play style. Especially compared to how easy it was to score in last years game.

If you work for open shots you should see realistic0ish shooting percentages if you force shots like you did last year or rely on one on one basketball you will shoot an lower percentage. If you start chucking on top of that it will be abysmal.

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

Please 2K DO NOT change shooting percentage. Right now it's near perfect. If you don't work to get good looks, then you should miss almost every time.

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

I think it's HILARIOUS that when you go to the park (I'm a baller to my dismay because my boys all decided on sunset for the boosts) and even the most cheesiest dudes are banging mid range all day. And you know what i tell my boys when they get mad that their hitting like it's nothing? I say, "I'm just glad the game is FORCING people to take higher percentage shots. I told everyone on my list that if they choose outside scorer that even if you Max your jumper to not get mad if i feed them open looks and don't drop. I've seen people with Max jumpers spot up all game and wonder why they're not hitting 5 in a row like before. I said the most efficient shots are at the basket or in the mid because the closer you are, the less distance the ball has to travel.

Now, i will say being a shorter guard without Max athlete and inside scoring it's a pain getting contested. But that's mostly me still relying on turbo and square and i gotta break that habit. I need to use the stick more to absorb more contact instead of initiating all the time. I've missed wide open dunks (a bit too frequently for my taste) and it's aggravating for sure. But the game is about having a short memory and i love that the game is actually implementing that. I get frustrated, we all do. But the thing to remember is having a crap shoot vs an almost inevitable outcome is a huge achievement by this team.

That said, i DO see a very minor increase in "wide open" shots to be beneficial, and the same for "wide open" dunks and layups as possibly being beneficial. The risk is hiring or lowering percentages and abilities for offense or defense could dramatically impact my current enjoyment of the game.

The hardest thing for me this year is getting used to the dribbling and developing my short term memory. And the funny thing is the "immersion" that gets flung around here like it's literally the dev teams job (tho it is) to increase that to your liking, the problem is everyone's different.

Everyone has their pet peeves. I'm not gonna come in and say you're stupid or to get better. I thought the first couple days that everyone agreed dribbling was too ineffective, i continued to read and watched those threads evolve and those same outraged members, some have changed their stance with the game. That gives me hope. I was generally excited all over again to come home from work and try to get my speed, handling, and some badges up to try and get better.

I still feel there's too much sliding, but the fact they're aware and have admitted it could be a possibility is hopeful as well.

The community is only going to help so much as us, the "hardcore" players are very blessed that our educated opinions have actually aided in creating a more balanced, more true to life feel.

Best $60 I've spent year in and year out hands down.

Just hope i can settle with one character this year. Last year was too expensive after 15 players, 10 of which i spent money on! Lol

Hope this helped.

What do you mean by sliding? I have a vague idea of what you're talking about but would like to get some specifics.

Also, I feel the same way about being able to stick with one character.
I'm thinking of making a 6'4 balanced PG to replace my 6'8 outside SF, the main differences are (PG in bold): 80/86 three, 85/66 layup 85/70 dunk, 84/72 speed, 84/66 ball control and the base lateral quickness for a PG (68) is higher than what my lateral quickness for a SF is with defender somewhere between 11-13 (66).

Re: SMH missing WIDE OPEN shots with shooters again

I struggled initially, and still struggle a bit with shooting....so I feel the OP to a degree.

I have gotten progressively better though. First thing I would suggest is to turn off the shot meter and turn on shot feedback, it'll give you a better gauge on the quality of your shots....
