Pure sharpshooters are OP??? Post your Sharps 3pt%, PPG and Win% plz (rec/park)

[Dedicated2389]

I hate I gotta be the one to say it but.. I don't understand all the complaints about sharps... So after hearing about how OP they are I made one and grinded my 6'8 SG sharp to 90 ovr to see how OP they are.

Dude sharps are slow as hell, cant handle the ball, and if you dont time your release correctly you will still brick every single shot.. I have all my badges maxed and im starting to get better with it now but only if I play with certain lineups or friends of mine that I've played with for years.

I didn't think shooting was skill based until I actually made a sharp and I found out you still have to time your shot AND take good shots. I thought I was gonna come in greening everything and it doesnt work that way.

IF you nerf sharps what use will the build have at all? Ive literally seen EVERY archetype hit 3s, I just played a glass cleaner last night who grabbed a board shot a corner three and made it and that was his ONLY jumpshot all game.. So if all builds can hit the three why nerf the one build that is MADE for only shooting 3s.. Doesnt make sense.

But anyways I just wanna know who are the pure shooters on this forum, maybe im just not good and I want to find out how to be OP. Can you post your sharpshooter build, 3pt% and PPG in Rec/Park please? Maybe screenshot or some clips?

I see alot of complaining about shooters so maybe if some guys post some actual evidence of how easy it is (your OWN clips not some highlights on youtube) maybe they will actually change it one day?

There has been plenty of evidence posted here on this board in countless threads on this very issue.

Just because YOU don't feel that way, it's now OUR burden to change it?

Could have searched "sharpshooter" and pulled up 25 threads THIS MONTH.

exactly. i have friends with sharps that cant shoot to save their lives. but we all know its an OP build. those friends of mine are also not on youtube researching which shot animation to choose to get the most greens or makes. but these OP shooters are. and for the record. speed means nothing when it comes to shooting. since all you have to do online is zig zag, left to right, and the defender will be delayed and off by 2 steps. stretch bigs that dont want you to lock them up will start using the walking animation glitch, where you as a defender can't get the hold animation to stop them from going to one side of your choice. they will start slow walking side to side, which keeps you from attaching to them. so now they can go either way again. right to left, right to left. SPLASH. because sharps straighten up too quickly. the get their balance way to fast.

shot creators should get their balance rather quickly. but sharps not so. because that aint real for 99.9% of most nba sharps. there's a reason why most of them need to be wide open for an extended period of time to get their balance, catch, then shoot.

You dont really know how to use a sharp then. Do you have all badges maxed out??

I can tell your one of those people that have a win loss record of not even .300 and you wanna talk about how sharps arent OP. You just dont know how to properly utilize one.

I posted this a month or so after release just looking at the Sharps I could find in my neighbourhood.








Some of them aren’t even Pures. Finding Pure Sharps that shoot over 60% is easy as hell. Even finding ones that shoot over 70 isn’t that difficult.

If you have multiple players, do those stats show your percentage for that one player or for all of them when it comes to park/JRC?

Also---yeah, I've seen some really bad pure sharps. But the ones who got what I call, "2k IQ" can completely break the game. You will know when you face one and it doesn't resemble real basketball.

It looks like your not very skilled with the build, almost like you never played a shooter before in 2k? So that does not verify the argument.

If you a pure sharp with maxed out badges and don’t shoot dumb shots every play and aren’t around 60% you just aren’t good at shooting

I got a sharpshot and hit around 55% if i play with people that actually pass. Usually i feel like i rarely miss when i play with good passers.


Shooting is super easy and has been forever

As a Sharpshooting Shot Creator, I shoot about 67% from the field, and 60% from 3. If I had a Pure Sharp, I’d probably be close to 70% from 3.

I'm convinced, since 'you' can't shoot, they can't possibly be OP, smh...

If Sharpshooters are nerfed, what use is the build at all in game?

Just came back to check thread today, haven't seen one clip or screenshot of anyones stats as a Sharpshooter.

But my whole point is, if sharpshooters are nerfed what will be the point of them in game? If they cant even hit a 3 ball consistently as a PURE sharp what do you expect people to do with the build? They literally cant do anything else lmao. Ive seen all types of archetypes who dominate in park and rec I just don't think there is a balance issue. (Try gaurding those elite playmaking shot creators or play/sharps or pure shotcreator or 2ways or Pure Post scorers or Shotcreating Post Scorers or shot-creating Sharps.. Like are you serious?? I can literally keep naming builds that barley miss!!)

You all said yourself that your hitting 3s with these different archetypes, I could see if Pure sharps was the only build that could hit 3s in game but thats not the case.

(Had to change title to get to the point)

im Pro 1 with .545 win% over like 700 games in park and I havent had trouble gaurding ONE pure sharpshooter they are slow and im a 6'8 shooting gaurd... If a pure stretch goes off on me I dont call them OP cause they literally have a big size advantage but my 2 way SF buddy locks pure stretches as 6'10 SF no problem..

I think matchups play a big part in this game. Alot of people made builds with t-rex arms so people are just shooting over your head. IF you match up size wise (decent height and a decent arm length) then I feel like you should be able to D your man up and make the right switches to stop the 3 ball period.

I posted 6 so that’s weird.

It’s not Pure Sharps specifically that need a nerf. It’s shooting in general that is overpowered. With Pure Sharps it’s just magnified because of their ridiculous range and insane takeover. People don’t want them not to be able to shoot. We just don’t want the norm to be 60%+. That’s gamebreaking.

No man. None of the builds you listed are even in the same stratosphere of Sharps except, possibly, some of the sharp hybrids. Most of those builds are shooting 2s. You do realize that someone shooting 2s needs to shoot at a 90% clip to be as efficient as someone shooting 60% from 3 right?

It’s not guarding a Sharp one on one that’s the problem. It’s how little space they require to splash if anyone runs interference for them. It’s how they kill defensive schemes by making switches and rotations almost impossible. It’s how they totally redefine what “good basketball” should be.

Ok builds shooting 2s are hitting at 90% clip. 2s are the easiest thing in the game, there are so many builds that you just cant guard consistently. So if you got a pure shot creator or playmaking shotcreator shooting 90% from the field EASILY then what % should a pure sharp shoot from 3? Shooting the 3 ball is the only thing they can do LITERALLY so are they supposed to miss open shots just to bring percentages down?

If they nerf shooting for ALL builds then that wouldnt make sense because at the end of the day the sharp should still shoot better than everyone else. So it sounds like people want ONLY sharpshooters to be nerfed and if they do that what point will it be to have them in game if they cant make the only shot they are supposed to make?

Re: If Sharpshooters are nerfed, what use is the build at all in game?

That response is probably going to dissuade a lot of people from debating this with you. When you admit that you can't shoot well with a maxed out pure Sharp, then come back and say it's easy to shoot 90% from the field with a shot creator, that's the type of red flag that pops up before an exercise in futility.

If I was home I would drop a screenshot of my sharp/shot where im shooting like 66 from the field and 62 from three.
