you're not listening.
before i got the custom jumper and the guy who unlocks it in the practice gym. I was Green lights when wide open IN THE REC with the same bronze badges and NO quick draw at all.
I'll say it again. listen closely. read carefully.
I DO NOT NEED quick draw to make WIDE OPEN 3's or 2 pt jumpers. YOu need quick draw to get the shot off quicker before the defense gets to you.I will get that badge up in a few more badges. remember i already did the experiment. My first 3 badges were quick draw on gold. didnt help a lick. not even a little bit. sure i could get a nice shot off, darn near full bar. BRICK, BRICK< BRICK, open or slightly covered. didnt matter. it was a brick fest. In the REC. and a few too many misses in my career on pro for my liking. shots that should've gone green or at worse hit. were not hitting. so the 4th badge i got, i took quick draw off and went for true shooting badges that would actually boost my make percentage not the speed in which i could shoot. You following me?
This worked. I started greening more often in mycareer by a lot and started greening WIDE open(only) shots in the REC. i never took a contested shot with this guy cause i knew he would brick it due to the lack of badges. no reason to miss a shot that i know wont go in anyway. just swing that ball until i badge up.
Out of the blue i get that extra badge for my 6th, and at the same time i get the practice with the shooting coach and now of course i get the custom jumpshot(which i didnt need because I use a shot i like and no Jump shot 38). No i dont want to go on youtube and use the same 2 or 3 jumper mixes that everyone and their mama uses. ) And as i stated above. I played one game and realized all of my animations went back to default(normal) or blank(dunk animations). i'm talking about my dribbling animations, layups, dunks, flashy passes, freethrows, jumper, everything went to default out of no where. This why i'm asking have you guys even seen that glitch after getting the jump shot creator?
i then went in put all of my previous animations back exactly the way they were. jumper 38 included. but there's a difference i now have corner specialist on bronze and quick draw on bronze. i took my dead eye down from silver back to bronze(This was to include quick draw like you said).
Then all of a sudden i couldnt hit a green shot to save my life. the bar would not go full. it would always be right before it should go full and have that slight space left so no green. I'm thinking if my release should be slightly faster with bronze quick , why am i releasing it the same or slightly later to get a full bar and its stopping before that point? it should've been green or going a bit passed the bar and bouncing back a little. but thats not what was happening. thats why i was wondering if there was some sort of glitch i got that messed my actual shot up.
i have never had this issue with any other player before. and i have a ton of players. I literally went from 60%+ mids in the rec when left open. and 50% from 3pt with line. to air balls and barely touching the rim on every single shot. got my teammates looking at me funny like...why is this guy shooting if he cant shoot. got me out here looking like a 60 brown shirt and I'm a 93. lol.
and one last time howard.
Do we agree. Quick draw is not a fg% booster on jumpers correct? we both know this right? unless you know that 2k lied about what quick draw is in the definition(to speed up your release) . are you saying it actually adds a boost to your jump shot make percentage? cause if it does, its broken too. because thats not what it is supposed to do based on the definition 2k has in the badge description.
So if we agree that quick draw is only there to speed up your jumper. then you must understand it is not...Priority when starting out badge hunting with a non pure shooter. if i was a 90 rated shooter, i would agree 100%, get quick draw and splash your way to the other badges. again i did the experiment already, quick draw didnt do ..... for me on gold without those other badges already all equipped. i started making shots when i got catch and shoot on bronze, difficult shots on bronze, range ext on bronze. the combo of those 3 this is before i got any hot zones. has created a situation so i made enough shots to get hot zones. i wasnt greening enough to my liking to get green machine YET. i tried volume shooter just to see. it worked, but i know i aint a chucker like that outside of my career. so when i go into rec it would be useless. so i took it off.
what i'm telling you is simple. there are a couple of ways to get your badges up when you dont have a shooter/shot creator/offensive threat. and quick draw early on isnt it. because you cant shoot well enough for it to matter how fast you shoot before a defender gets there. 2k will make you brick anyway. until you get catch and shoot, difficult shots(because it thinks every slight movement is a difficult shot), corner specialist at some point, etc, etc. ) you can use steady shooter if you can shoot better than my guy can. that will help when guys are close to you defensively. its like a super dead eye badge. but for a guy like mine starting out early, i would miss WIDE Open shots until i got catch and shoot. so i noticed i needed that boost 2k gives you for being wide open. steady shooter would make me lose that. i have no room for that with this guy. lol
