DeAndre Jordan pulled a "Dirk" on me in an online match....

[GoGetta408]

Was playing an online head-head match. DeAndre Jordan hit about 3 or so jump shots just barely outside the key - I'd say 6 feet or so from the basket. Even that would never happen in real life, but when the opponent did a "Dirk" fadeaway with DJ from about 12 feet, I was just speechless.


Whats up with the cheese 2K?

Nick Collison hit two threes against me..I sagged off him and he pulled up like Larry Bird. I saved it, might upload it.

One time back in high school I was 12-12 from the field in gym class completely schooling other kids who were actually on the basketball team. Fade aways, draining 3s, reverse layups, etc.

I played baseball and hadn't played competitive basketball since the 4th grade.

Yikes.

Yeah Larry Nance, Jr. got me for back-to-back threes once. When he pulled it I was like "that's the shot we want....gulp." I guess its ok as long as its rare.

This is about about the 4th or 5th thread I've seen you damage control problems for this game.

Its not impossible for DeAndre to score outside the paint(just insanely unlikely)
Mind you i found 3 examples in the whole time he has been in the league and u had that many in one game

"stick skills matter"

LD2K in response to a player complaining that 55 slashers are hitting 3's.

I had David West go 3/3 from deep in my last game, and 2/4 in another...I know he can hit them occasionally...and I dont know what his rating is....but I shouldnt have to worry about him out there like that.

Re: DeAndre Jordan pulled a "Dirk" on me in an online match....

Jump shot has become too easy in 2k because so many people complain when they can't get easy buckets. 2k8 had the most realistic mid-range and 3 game, lockdown defenders were also better replicated than they are in 17. But the community is all about stick skills now so that type of stuff had to go.

A guy makes one or two shots, and we react like the Acrobat euro-step unmissable three is back.

Calm down.

"It doesn't matter WHO it is--these guys are PROS! They ALL can shoot! D up!"

You can't be serious.

What's being described is a small sample size.

It was two shots in one game.

Problem is these random things happen far too often, to the point where they're really not all that random. Back when this series was more sim you could sag on really bad shooters to deny them their lane. Now you have to play everyone tight which is flat-out unrealistic.

Re: DeAndre Jordan pulled a "Dirk" on me in an online match....

if you tell me i need to guard people like Valacunaus/ THristan Thompson or a 60-70 rated 3 ball @ the line at the fear of him hitting a 3, you are really kidding me. i know its myteam, but comeon. i should be able to sag off of bad shooters as someone said before without the fear of getting burned
