    Vote on 2k17 recent shooting tweaks. What do you think?

    Since the Devs will be watching the forums this weekend I wanted to get a poll so OS members can vote. I know alot of guys who have opinions but won't post. So I figured a poll would be easier. You are more than welcome to comment as well But you must list your shooting sliders & offensive consistency sliders to give valid feedback that devs can use.


    EDIT: I would suggest checking Shot Charts and comparing those to the Individual Players Hot Zones. If you are shooting from Areas of the floor that a players has a COLD or Netural Zone from 30 to 35% would be realistic shooting %'s.

    Yes it really improves the game
    0%
    43
    No it makes shooting percentages too low
    0%
    11
    Yes, but I may have to make a few slider tweaks
    0%

      I'd like to have some information about shooting tweaks or slider tweaks in general...We started a new season in our online league recently. It took weeks to tweak the sliders in a way we wanted to have them. 3pt Shooting was set down to 37 for example. Now when we started the league, nobody knew that there was a tweak to the shooting sliders on the side of 2k. Players with a open 3 of under 80 will brick nearly every shot, regardless of how open it is. Nearly every game ends with both teams shooting under 30% now...

        One thing I would suggest would be to Look at the SHOT CHARTS & see if the players in your league are shooting the shots from Areas that the Player has COLD or Neutral Hot Zones. Not saying the players in your league do it, but I know alot of people are taking shots from Areas they shouldnt be taking shot from. Also people are expecting to shoot 50% or higher every game. Now i would recommend boosting the 3pt Slider anywhere from 2 to 5 points higher and see how that works.

          Nice to see 80% of the votes are in for of the changes. The shooting tweaks and the patch have got me for the first time in a few months enjoying editing again.

            I play walk on and pro am mostly and I like it because forces sharpshooters to be spot up shooters which implies moving the ball and finding the open man, which makes the game a little bit closer to actual basketball. Pre patch most of sharpshooters ran past half court and made deep threes consistently turning the game into a boring tennis match with those back and forth threes.

              I only play offline with no visual aids. I still shoot around 50% with the few teams I do use. After the tweaks I can't hit open shots for anything, so I decided it was time to go to the practice gym and I turned on the shot meter to see what was happening. As a lot of people have already pointed out, I got 0 greens at the top of the circle, but moving to the corner they were back to back. Got frustrated for a bit but then I got some MJ in my system and started to pay attention. "Forget the meter, I don't play with it anyways. How am I missing these shots? Short, Long, Left, Right?", I thought. I paid attention and adjusted my release based on how I missed while making sure to pull the stick straight down. 10 straight 3s with 0 green releases. I think the latest tweak/2k18 test means they are looking at making shooting even more user controlled by getting rid of green releases. As somone who doesn't use the meter, I like it because even the greatest shooter doesn't know his shot is "green". It just feels good leaving their hand and looks to be on trajectory.

                Hope the devs can see the result, and no more changes from now on, the patch was great, and shooting adjustment was great, please don't mess up anything now, let the game be it, I know many of us, hate the game this year so much but was seeing a lot of potential, now this game with the patch and shooting adjustment finally made the game playable, at least to me and people I know around me, so let us play, enjoy, and start a new MYLEAGUE!

                  I sent the thread link to them yesterday. Problem is all of the CHEESERS on twitter complaining about not hitting 60 or 70 percent of their 3s. I am hopeful no changes are made, but I am sure they will cave and change things back.

                    thanks for the work bro, i m solely offline player, and i played a few games, things are doing great for me, i didn't really play the game for a long time before this patch and the 3pt shooting changes arrived, but as long as i find the game so fun right now, don't screw my fun experience up, i really wanna start a new myleague with no more patches and not more big changes whatsoever!!!

                        I would be interested to hear everyone's thoughts on how you like it.

                            Honestly - i appreciate that mike wang is trying to work on it - but i wonder if he's just being soft. Crumbling under the pressure of tweets from players who cheese the game and don't play real sim ball. If the shooting is back to how it was - i will be very dissapointed. Come on man - just ignore the tweets. Aren't you supposed to have some behind the scenes numbers on the average shooting of the 2k community?. Make decisions yourself on what you think is sim - stop satisfying their every wish. They make you look like a puppet. Stay true to what your game aspires to be. I would like some clarification on if it's just him or if the game just has limitations or something and this is how it just is. I don't like to hate - i just want the game to stay true to simulation basketball - not this arcade bs. I appreciate his attempts at fixing things - just wonder where his real loyalty lies. With arcade or sim players. It's getting difficult to tell if 2k is just cattering to arcade players since they know it's a bigger part of the community and they need them for sales. Certainly constantly seems that way. It would be refreshing if for once we have atleast one 2k that stays true to sim online.
