I really wish 2K, like Madden would implement next gen stats into their game for shooting percentages, but JUST for the real player fg% setting, since you already know the players online would be in a frenzy if they ever missed a wide open shot, let alone consistently. Also, hopefully someone on here can find the current stats on Wide open 3's league wide since I can only seem to find the player stats on it. What are your guys' thoughts on this?

You're fighting an age old battle since the implementation of green releases and Steph Curry "broke" NBA videogames. This current crop of gamers can't handle realistic shooting percentages. Before I stopped playing NBA 2K, there was one weekend in MyTeam Limited where you couldn't use a player with a 3PT rating above 85. That was the most fun that I had in a while when it came to H2H action, because every open 3PT shot was a guaranteed make, and people had to put in actual EFFORT in creating the best shot possible or available. Most of the Reddit users that weekend? They felt that it was the worse week ever for the Limited Mode.

Even peeking into the MyPark and REC threads...a player is basically considered a "bum" if they're shooting less than 90%. That's a shame. Even though I stopped playing, NBA 2K22 was a solid game, but I just got tired of the playing against the meta across all modes. I would still give the slight edge to NBA 2K11 as the GOAT for me due to the shooting percentages, and luckily it was before the rise of social media impacting the direction of the game.
