Couldn't agree more. As far as the shot timing...it seems like I can almost release whenever and get green...but what's the point, ****s don't fall. I like that the release isn't so quick and you can get a green release at the top of the jump more effectively but releasing early needs to be tweaked...I think the made the window bigger for green release but it's not accurately working as far as make or miss on release...I guess what I mean is it feels like a false positive.
My second issue is that way too many easy shots two feet from the bucket are missed as it says contested when really the guy isn't defending it enough to make the guy miss. A good shooter like Kobe should not miss again and again from 3-5 feet from the basket. The cpu is almost un-shakable, even when I do get them on a hesitation they recover so quickly an easy pull up jumper is contested from the side and missed from 3-7 feet....terrible and annoying. The other part of this that sucks which many are mentioning is that the cpu is not effected as much they've knocked down shots with 2 and 3 defenders contesting...all I can say is WTF!!
Lastly...this has made the ultimate team challenges impossible for me....even some of the easier ones...like rookie 2 using all bronze players...no one can make a shot while the computer just rains buckets and drives through the paint with ease.
Player vs player online it's not bad because it's fair game, but have similar stats...but against cpu it's horrible.
Please EA fix these issues ASAP...I have not been happy with these issues. Rosters I'm good with but the game play right now is jacked up.
