We need to talk about Steph Curry again...

[The 24th Letter]

**disclaimer**

This is from an online H2H stand point as I haven't played the Warriors offline.

Stephs range in this game, which extends to about 3-5 steps over half court is entitely too accurate.

I appreciate the effort 2k put forth to make him as deadly in game as he is in real life...and he is....but I think this particular aspect (again, just the accuracy at that range) should be dialed back.

Heres an example:

Not the best defense, I saw he was tired so I thought it would effect his shot from my distance.....so much for that. This is just to show the distance he can consistently pull up from contested or not and knock 3's down.

Thank you for the disclaimer Speaking for myself, I've encountered Curry mostly during Myteam Online and I haven't had many problems stopping users who use him. The key is in the defensive settings

Tight/Deny and full court press?

I've played against the warriors with stephen and klay shooting from that distance or even more and making almost every shot, even contested shots. I'm with the OP, I believe that 2k is in the correct way to make curry unique, but not like this. Maybe when he is hot he can pull that kind of shots from time to time, but not almost all the time during a game

Re: We need to talk about Steph Curry again...

Okay, so this is coming from a mostly offline user who hasn't played vs the Warriors yet, but isn't this what we wanted last year? We saw Curry do ridiculous sh*t every game and we realized that he can't do it in 2K. So 2K has made an effort to make him special like he is in real life.

I know online people will cheese and abuse any little advantage they get, but I like that Curry is essentially unstoppable unless you hound him full court, as this is how you must play him in real life to stop him.

Again, just my opinion. He may be entirely too strong online but I don't mind Curry being insane.

I only played him online in all star team up, and he dropped 50+. I just think the efficiency from 27+ feet off the dribble needs to be toned down. But maybe he was just hot that game...

I'm scared of the warriors. Think I'll break something.

Me neither I mean he did shoot like 60% from 28+ feet so it is pretty accurate. But it shouldn't go in as much when you contest the shot at least

Re: We need to talk about Steph Curry again...

My problem isn't with the insane range. It's his unguardable running fadeaways from 30 feet that go in %60 of the time.

I played a guy that didn't sub any of his starters the entire game. Didn't matter. 20 seconds every time down of curry zig-zagging and launching running off balance threes. Curry was sucking Gatorade in the 2nd quarter and he still kept making them.

I get that curry needs to be an OP shooter but in real life he doesn't do that. Quite frankly what's the point of having the Warriors in the game? If someone knows Curry's release timing you can't stop him because he never has to be square to shoot and apparently never has to come out of any game. It's no fun playing against something you have no control over.

I'd rather him be overpowered than be the pathetic excuse of himself e was in 2k16. About time they made Curry scary.

Re: We need to talk about Steph Curry again...

Scary is good. Unstoppable by any means in the game is another.

Make him square up to hit those 30+ footers at a decent clip. The sideways running threes are a joke and it's embarrassing.

True but in that process they made all gaurds play like Curry. Everyone is pulling up from 3 in the game with a lot of time on the clock and make them at a high rate...at least the CPU does because when the player does it it's a brick. Also pisses me off that when you contest the CPU it means nothing and they don't even do the contested shot animation like the user does. So every contest shot for the CPU is an open shot.

His contested 3 percentages aren't even good in real life. Give him the range sure, but tone down the contested 3 rating.

Re: We need to talk about Steph Curry again...

Like I said, I love what they did with Curry. Dude should be one of the scariest guys in the game and thats exactly what he is. Just make him scary for the right reasons.

He wasnt just squaring up and hitting those OKC game winner distance shots on a nightly basis....

I wouldnt want Bron jumping from near the free throw line swatting every layup attempt because he did it in Game 7 either.
