NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

[Eman5805]

Is there some kinda visual cue besides the meter to when you hit that sweet spot in the timing window? Like players leaving their hands up longer?

Appreciate the confirmation here. Seems like it's going to be a fun feature!

As long as open % meter perfect meter = what the shooter hits when open and it goes back to the ratings I don't see an issue here. We don't need any bonuses. I mean isn't how real % should work? Beluba, If you tune this right the games should be nice. FYI Curry shot 50% on open spot up jumpers and 47% on contested jumpers.

I wish it wasn't a "meter" . it draws attention away from the shot release and people just stare at the players feet like everyone did in the last Sony basketball game

Some elaboration is needed.

- No, you cannot "master" the meter and hit every shot you take

Why, what makes it master proof?

Quote:

- Yes, Real FG% is still an option

Still an option, maybe the community can help me on this one, where is this option right now on Next Gen?

Quote:

- Yes, it is very difficult to get "perfect timing," especially on the higher levels

As long as player ability makes a difference as well, after all we did just see Duncan in a Vid draining 3's, don't make good timing with D'Andre Jordan translate to him doing Damian Lillard style stepback 3's.

Yes no, yes no doesn't help us w/o something for it to stand behind.

@23 you talking like a power hop into the jumper?

Yeah I get that but we can always turn that off. You have to remember this game is trying to appease to some of those casual players. This teaches them to make them better and then they become more Sim more realistic. In the end they become better sim players and play to their strengths. I realize some of this can be learned in practice but everyone is not going to use practice.

After a while you get the timing down you are not looking at no meter. They use to have a flashing indicator it might still be there but you know what I don't even look at it. I am a purely animation based shot stick user. So I will let the meter watchers have their fun and it just might be even. They still shouldn't be able to play above their ratings.
