    PLEASE Reduce Shot Makes

    No, this isn't a HOF is too hard complaining thread. I have no problem getting around the defense, setting up teammates and shooting 60%. BUT THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

    I don't want to hit so many shots with a damn 80 overall. I don't want my teammates to hit so many shots and have so many open ones because of AI fails and I don't want the CPU to either. We just won last game and the final score was 130 to 120. This is ridiculous. We shot 65% and the CPU shot 60%. Other games, it's the other way around with the CPU or my teammates hitting WAY TOO MANY shots when I'm on the floor. Most of the percentages get lowered when it's simmed because I'm on the bench. When I'm on the floor it's like 80% of shots going in.

    Wade, Thompson, Lowry and others are great ball players, but they shouldn't be shooting 80% from the field and 8/9 from down town. Whether they are on my team or not there needs to be more contested misses and there needs to be WAY MORE open shot misses. Even when NBA players have time to position their hands on the ball, they still miss. Why are all fast break three pointers going in no matter who it is? There is a reason why certain players like Curry specialize in fast break threes. It's not something that is this easy.

    There needs to be AI rotating tweaks especially on the fast breaks, there needs to be more vollys going back and forth because of consistent misses on both ends and there needs to be less three pointers going in. A team shooting 70% from down town, EVEN IF IT IS MY OWN TEAM, is very unrealistic.

    I am bringing this up now because I recently became a starter. Before I was a starter I thought it was great how the games were going. Now that I'm on the floor everyone is hitting everything. It needs tweaking. The game is lightyears better than last year, but it seems there definitely needs to be some tweaks. I feel like 2K just can't get it right when it comes to FG%s.

    UPDATE:

    Just to show all those that I AM NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT THE CPU:

    Here is a game on HOF. Ever since I've gotten my stats up, I have been absolutely DOMINATING uncontrolably. NO ONE can hold me. I make so many shots, easy backdoor cuts into 5-6 dunks a game, easy lobs.. EVERYTHING is so easy when you're hot. Simply EVERYTHING goes in and the other team acts like they are in pre-school.

    ONCE AGAIN, this goes for both sides. I was taken out for a long time because we were beating the Bulls so bad, but here are the stats. AND THIS IS ON HOF DEFAULT:





    If you simply run smart plays, know your playbook, play patiently, run manual picks when plays fail and use your triple threat moves--you will simply hardly ever lose. This makes it just like last year and this is NOT GOOD. Games shouldn't be ending this high and everything shouldn't be going in NO MATTER WHO IT IS.

    Severe AI breakdowns when you have momentum.

    Before you call me a ball hog, realize my shot percentage. It is so easy to get wide open on shots and drives it's like cheating. I am going to take those shots and layups.

      I'm on HOF. Also, it's not just me and my teammates. It's the CPU also.

      Check this out:


      Carroll has hit all of his shots when I'm on the floor. The very few misses he has is from when I was on the bench. He is not this good. 7 for 7 from downtown? lol. Turnaround moving fade away threes? My defenders just falling on the floor to give them open looks? Come on now. It's impossible to enjoy a game when it's not realistic.

      I don't mind players hitting some crazy shots once in a while. But not when they are 6 for 6 and it will make them 7 for 7. It's just so dumb. No one shoots 90% from the floor. I also don't mind if I breakdown and play stupid defense. But these are players either I'm not defending or I'm not controlling.

          No, I'm not. We have a good record, but right now I'm on a 3 game losing streak after coming off a 5 game win streak. Which is fine, I just don't like the way we win OR lose. Too many made shots, too high scoring and too frustrating when you have defenders not rotating and the some players on the opposing team shooting LITERALLY 80%+ for the game.

                I have the same issue.... Except my teammates are not smart at all... I like the game hard but it's really cheesy against the cpu on hof in mycareer. My team gets multiple flagrant fouls and defensive 3 seconds every game.... We have lost 32 in a row by twenty or more while I'm averaging a triple double and A+ rating.... Allowing over 68% on the year

                        IDK I'm on all star sim I shoot 55% as a big. I'm on the warriors and we are shooting 46% as a team and 39% from 3. Seems pretty realistic to me.

                          Re: PLEASE Reduce Shot Makes

                          I just ended a game where the Wizards shot 72%. I mean, I thought this stuff was going to be addressed this year.

                          The foul discrepancy is still there. The contested and mid range makes from players who don't even shoot mids are there (Gortat just hit a contested long mid from behind the backboard) and the three percentages are atrocious.

                          Oh, and the inbound passes to out of bounds, the back-court violations and the CPU defenders being able to push you before you get over the half court line so you get caught in an animation for a back-court violation are all still there.

                          I really wish 2K would stop implementing band-aid fixes and just address the shot percentages. How hard could it be?

                          Just so you guys know, I run plays EVERY TIME up the floor. Manually PnR if I need to and orchestrate fantastically. But going from games where my teammates can't miss, to games where the CPU can't miss is extremely unrealistic. If it was something like we are on fire and win a game shooting 55% that would be great. But instead, it's more like we lose by 5 because the CPU shot 72% lol. It's so dumb.

                          I swear, the back-end probability for a CPU player to hit an open shot must be 95%. I'm not even kidding.

                          KEEP IN MIND, I think defense is great and teammates are smarter. But anyone playing HOF has to see that the shot makes are not accurate. Whether you're winning or not because being able to beat the CPU isn't the conversation here. It's HOW the games are being played out.

                            This sounds exactly like classic HoF MyCareer CPU cheese to me.

                            Game always seems to play out completely different when you control all 5 guys than it does when you play MyCareer.
