No. The 3 was my issue was all. I didn't think he'd lower 3 and hurt midrange like that.

He's really becoming annoying though. One day you get used to the shooting, the next day it's changed. I just wish he'd go back to the one before this update and the last one. This one is terrible. Barely can get a wide open midrange to go in.

I saw it coming a mile away because almost 90% of the people here were screaming "CHANGE IT BACK!!!" And so Mike did.

Besides, ever since the first major shooting 'fix', midrange has been screwed up and never recovered. Why? Again, because people here were screaming 'MIDRANGE CHEESE! MIDRANGE CHEESE!'

Like, seriously, every single method of scoring in this game has been called cheese, and it's sad. It's really at this point where the community as a whole is getting so toxic to the development of this series that, for the first time in my life, I'm almost willing to just give up on it and not look back.

Based on playing teamup leagues and pro am /park with this update I can definitely say it's the myplayers and caps/badges to blame . Before the update no one was taking jumpers in teamup because they wouldn't fall. Now it's balanced and fun.

They definitely changed the shooting

I like the "rollback" that they did for threes from what I played today in Pro Am. Three point shot grades are back to being B+ and A- with no red rings of rhythm. Most of my team was shooting around 40% to 50% today with no rings of rhythm.

But you can still have games in the 60% to 70% range if you're able to get and maintain red rings of rhythm. With red rings I was able to get A and A+ shot grades.

The current shooting system makes it very important to manage your timeouts to stop runs on defense and keep feeding the hot hand on offense.

Wide open feet set... D playing stupid or D sitting on a zone 3s need to be more accurate than they were IMO, due to the game mechanics, in order to punish people for doing such things. However, having people who get those jumpers off the dribble or by getting free in one way or another, even on a great shot, should not be connecting at as high of a percentage as it is shown.

My idea from before was that you should be able to set your player and have them get 'better' ratings if they have been open, and of course have this be rhythm related so that you can also lose rhythm by just sitting open for too long. Create a window for when a good pass equals a good three, and make them high enough percentage that you can't play stupid defensive schemes.

Then, have the shooting be almost like it was before. There were way too many wide open misses which, sure it's 'realistic' but the way the game is balanced there is already too much 'unrealistic' stuff (like the fast break game) and that plays into leaving dudes wide open and taking the lay up off their miss. Teams come out broke, sure, but with the level of shooters these players are supposed to be, how they can just get so wet in so many ways off the dribble, I believe they should be all time wet when open with their feet set, but not otherwise.

The lack of consistency on shots is why everyone feels the need to roll with 90 rated 3 point shooters (along with the imbalanced speed curve, of course.)

Edit: Also, sorry to say but there was such thing as midrange cheese. haha. When a midrange hits like 80% of the time, it's cheesy. It might not be the player's fault, but it's not the community's fault for recognizing it (it doesn't make them toxic, it's just game imbalance.) Off the dribble mid range is one of the worst shots in bball, remember? Just cuz you have to release the button instead of just pressing it down (for a dunk) doesn't mean it's not easy.

Did they break it again or something? The last three days felt like it was before the jump shooting patch.

Open shots are getting a boost again in tonight's update. They usually go live around 3 AM EST.
