Greens in Park vs ProAm (Rec)

[Eom85]

Hey guys,

I am a pure sharp with an 98 open three and I am experiencing a massive difference between Park and ProAm when it comes to shooting.
Whereas in Park it is super easy and almost every open shot is a green release, in ProAm I have not had a single one except when I am in takeover. I am constantly missing wide open full white bar releases and I am wondering if its the lag and the "green range" might have moved to another spot on the shot meter or if 2K has purposely made it this way?

I was just wondering if you are experiencing the same thing!?

PS: This thread is not intended to discuss balancing issues!! Please leave this out of here

Its called ‘LATENCY’

This was the same case in 18 where some people had different jumpshots for park and pro am. This is old news.

different sliders?

Both of the above.

Re: Greens in Park vs ProAm (Rec)

I understand latency and that the shot meter keeps filling when I have already released the button. That I could account for by releasing earlier.

I just don't understand why a full white bar does result in so many bricks when open... afterall this should be the perfect timing regardless of lag or whatever. Unless the green range all the sudden is somewhere at shot meter half empty or something!?!?

Sliders would make sense, but they would be tremendously different! I am talking about a 35% shot percentage reduction.


Thanks for the feedback!!

Re: Greens in Park vs ProAm (Rec)

A reduction that high must be a mechanical issue on your end. When I look at most people on my friends list, their Rec shooting percentage is only mildly lower than Park - maybe 5%. Which can probably just be accounted for as more defenders and less space. I don’t think there’s even a slider difference quite honestly.

This guy is correct. In fact, I had the same thing happen to me but it was the opposite. I can green everything in proam but since I'm not a park player at all, I wasnt used to the latency.

The park kind of had better latency at the time I was playing it because I had to release the ball faster than I did in the proam.

That's the issue though. It's on your end and not 2k. Just pay attention to what the feedback and adjust

Re: Greens in Park vs ProAm (Rec)

I definitely struggle with the latency in Rec.

I'm wondering if turning off the shot meter completely is the right approach and relying on the actual shooting form. Though I imagine that is subject to input lag too.

Another option is to turn on the under-feet shot meter. That one is a lot bigger, and what appears to be a 'full bar' on the top often is not when you see the larger under-foot one.

Re: Greens in Park vs ProAm (Rec)

This is exactly the response I was hoping for / was afraid of get :/

I am a bit of a tech nerd and recorded al lot of my games looking at the shot meter frame by frame. I was able to acquire a ton of wide open shots with all types of "fill stands" of the shot meter ranging from early to late releases. Basically covering the top range spectrum of the release point. NO greens and about 40% shot success.

When you say it's almost the same and maybe 5% difference, I am assuming something else is going on.

I am from Germany and our lag is terrible ... maybe that's why, but otherwise I am clueless.

Anybody else out there in high latency countries that wants to share their ProAm/Rec experience?

I am adjusting and basically bouncing between early and late releases constantly... it seems like that's not the place to look for a green release!?

For some reason, I’m the opposite. My Rec shooting is much better than my Park shooting. It’s weird.

Re: Greens in Park vs ProAm (Rec)

Even though I am a strong believer that 2K wouldn't differentiate between jump shots and that this whole talk about a better or worse base is pointless, I still gotta ask:
What's your jumpshot?

I am running with Base 11 and Ray Allen release on very quick (im below 6"4)
And as mentioned, I'm shredding the park but cant hit anything Rec or ProAm

I use Trey Burke’s base with 50/50 KD and Kobe’s releases.

You should watch the videos from nba2klab. Different jump shots definitely have different green windows. They’ve proven it with modded controllers.

Pro Am is Hall of Fame difficulty and Park is arcade type sliders, I green from three with a Slashing Shot Creator in park consistently, but in Pro Am you can leave me all day
