Re: NBA 2K17: How To Shoot Without the Shot Meter

The Shot Meter is a bad move. It will naturally give an advantage to those who use it versus those who go by the signature animation. It takes away from the immersion of the game and makes it more clinical and cold. Who wants to look at a meter when they shoot in a basketball game? Next you'll have to fill up a meter while passing, then fill up the dunk meter when you go up for a slam.

I wouldn't care much about an optional feature but it's going to give an advantage to those who use it, so it's not really fair for those who just want to play a simulation style basketball game and not turn it into who can hit the meter the best. What happened to relying on basketball knowledge? Basketball knowledge combined with a degree of stick skills makes the perfect game. Weighing it too heavily in one area by adding something like this shot meter is not a good look for simulation style players, IMO.
