I've tried...but the release shot options are too difficult

This year I keep missing shot after shot. Please help me distinguish what these shot release options mean. I'm sure it's user error (me) lol.

Not a fan of the leniency they've given meter shooters lately. I remember from the start that if you used meter, you were done. Now, you can be off by a qtr inch & still green w meter.

Also not a fan at all of everyone being able to green easily if their release is easy to time, regardless if they're a 99 or 75 3pt shooter.

but this is what the casuals want this game to be: a game where the Most important skill is Not Basketball-related an arcade mechanics that would be better Suited in Mario Party than in a sports simulation.

Man I don't know about all that casuals stuff. Been playing 2K since Dreamcast and this is by far the worst shooting version I've ever encountered. On top of the whole perfect shot situation 2K still fiddles with stuff, so one week I may have my shot going, the next ill go 1 for 15 in every game I play. Just let us cook...

If “sim” is RNG based off realistic NBA percentages, I’ll gladly be a 2K casual, lol

I’ve enjoyed the challenge of shooting this year personally, especially coming off last year where you could shoot 70% with your eyes closed

this mechanics completely destroy any competitiveness. as soon as one Team has a little bit of delay and the other doesnt you get games where one Team is shooting 60+ percent from deep and the other 20%...


when I Look at the season Stats for my Team, my players are Either shooting close to 50% from deep or close to 20%. There is nothing inbetween and its completely independent from any Player ratings.

Doesn’t kill the competitiveness in the draft league I’m in.

The game is never going to be a 1:1 representation of real life, so I don’t expect teams to be held to real life averages, nor do I want the game forcing us into those averages
