The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
I have played several games with Maravich and Bird. Even though Maravich's overall rating is an 85 versus Bird's overall rating of 97, Pistol is almost unstoppable if you know how to use him (shooting mid range runners and leaners). Pete's shooting percentage is actually much higher when he is shooting runners rather than normal set shots. Here is one example to support my case: I just played my first half of a game set on Hall of Fame difficulty with the 70-71 Hawks (me) against the 71-72 Knicks (CPU). In 24 minutes of play Maravich had 48 points, shooting over 60% from the field, keep in mind I'm playing on sim sliders with on ball defense set on 70. Most of his points came from mid range runners with Earl Monroe in his face. Others came from close shots while guarded by Jerry Lucas. I led at the half 52 to 51.

Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
sim sliders midrange is at 50 so you will shoot higher % by default -
Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
That's true but my point was I believe Pete is better than anyone else in the game from midrange. That's including Bird, Allen, and Nowitzki who by the way has a 99 midrange rating compared to Pete's 85. There are a lot of factors that play into it.Comment

Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
wait, how do you get Pistol Pete??...I am glad I got the Buell- I love riding it, I love the oddball looks I get on the road- I love people asking "What IS that thing?" I love flying into a corner WAY too hot, scared spitless and sure I'll never hold it at this speed- and hearing the bike whisper "Sissy!"...Comment

Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
I have to disagree with you, OP. I played a game with him, and he finished 11 for 34 from the field. Went ICE COLD from mid-range throughout the 3rd quarter. Wide open jumpers. Couldn't hit one.

Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
Pete is a bad man. I got him on the lakers in my association. He is like my 4th option behind kobe,jordan,and zo. He makes crazy passes and as you said his mid range is crazy good. His 3pt shooting is good too. He is almost automaticPlaying: Sf:Third Strike&IV,2k12,Batman,Dead Island, Uncharted 3,Skyrim,MGS Collection,WWE 12

HECK NO, best shooter is Jerry "the logo" West. It doesn't matter whether me or the AI plays as him, (on default) i have never seen him make less than 60% of his shots. And he has such an easy to use release. Making jumpshots with him is the easiest thing I have ever done in a sports game.Comment

Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
I bet you were shooting regular jump shots from mid range instead of runners and leaners. That makes a HUGE difference. You also have to know where his hot spots are on the court. Pete's mid range hot spots are right and left of the free throw line, but not in the center. There are a lot of factors that go into it, you have to know his strengths and weaknesses. If you do then you should be able to shoot 50 to 60% from the field almost every game. I have gone through a few cold spells with him where he will miss 4 or 5 in a row but then he bounces right back and hits the next 5 or 6. The only time I ran into any real trouble was against the "95-96 Bulls" because of Jordan's defensive rating.Last edited by nba2k23; 11-04-2011, 03:16 PM.Comment

Best shooter is Steph Curry, as far as I'm concerned.Comment

Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
Yep, I was impressed with the fact that Pete had scored 48 and his team was leading at the half on HOF difficulty. Anyone can go out and score 48 points in 24 minutes, but if that person is not on fire from the field there is no way they would have the lead at the half. They would probably be down by at least 20 points. There is not much room for error on HOF difficulty.Comment

Re: The Best Shooter in NBA 2k12 = Pete Maravich
Steph and Dell Curry easily have Maravich beat on 3 point shooting. However that is just one part of the ratings for shooting. I believe Pete is one of the overall Most Valuable Players in the game. I think most would agree that he is at the top in all 3 of these categories: shooting, passing, and ball handling. I am just as effective when playing with Pete than I am with Jordan. That says it all.Last edited by nba2k23; 11-04-2011, 04:36 PM.Comment
