Re: Who is still shooting on high risk? And why?

High risk has a 100 percent green window. Normal does not. That’s the key difference more than the green window size.




That is correct. Difficulty can affect window size, but it doesn’t affect pure green window versus non pure green window.

Wait, so even if you time it perfectly on the Low/Normal Risk profile, it’s RNG whether the game counts it as green timed? Or is it more that the green window shifts in response to defensive contests, like how the window would shrink in 2K24 if a defender contested mid-shot animation?

I don’t have an issue with either scenario btw, just trying to understand the settings. I use Low Risk-Reward specifically so that user timing only plays a part in the outcome, and is not the sole deciding factor. I want the user timing to decide if you CAN make a shot (where if you time it poorly it simply won’t go in, but if you time it well then it depends on ratings and defense). This would also explain why I randomly get a Slightly Early/Slightly Late release when it feels like I released at the exact point a previous shot gave me a green release [emoji28]

My timing isn’t off, it’s the game that is wrong! https://youtu.be/-dFqIqCMT9E?feature=shared
