This shooting tweak.

[Yesh2kdone]

Ok, I've avoided the OP sharpshooters thread because I don't use him in park or pro am.

The way open shots are now calculated has completely killed my SF SS career. 4/5 feet of open space now qualifies for a c- grade at best, and I'm getting D grades on most of my shots. I'm being forced into completely unnatural fadeaways just like 2k16 did upon release.

I have a 6'9 dude who has the speed and turning circle of a juggernaut, so how many completely wide open shots with no one around do you think I will get in a HoF level game, when your cpu works solely off my controller inputs and beats me to any spot I wish to get to? I run past anyone, and I'm dragged in to animations that kill the very little movement I do have,

I want to play and like this game, i really do, but once again my career is being killed by online play. Guys, give me a break here. I have all hof badges and I'm a 91 ovr.

Like ive said in other threads, when the kids complain, Beluba gives them what they want. Yall gonna a learn to stop making threads about things that should be patched cuz you had a bad game. Learn to play better defense

Would you mind telling me how much your fg% dropped?
What was it before the patch and what is it now?

It's difficult to give a massive sample size as I've not long switched on to HoF from rookie badge chasing.

But using the small sample size, of the 2 games leading up to the tweak, and the 2 games after it
before the tweak:

6-10
4-8

After the tweak;

3-10
7-23

I took more shots than I normally would in that second game, because I was trying to figure out what the hell was going on with my form being forced into fadeaways, as opposed to playing as kyle Korver and just waiting for plays to be called for me.

I can tell you though that I don't take contested shots, because even with badges it's generally a waste of time on HoF, so I did make sure I had the approx 4/5 ft of room before firing off a shot.

My player has a 98 3pt rating and all SS badges on HoF and the grand badge.

You basically now have a playmaker without the athleticism, enjoy.

I feel for you man... It's a premonition I had.. 2k nerfing the Shooting..

I haven't made a Sharpshooter and don't intend to but this bait and switch is nasty.. it's filthy.. it's slimy.. it's rotten.. I dunno man.. I don't like how they sell you on these super ratings and HOF badges plus GRAND BADGE.. then not even a month? into the game they humble those ratings through behind the scenes slider tweaks..

You could go down a difficulty or two... also look into the shot quality on your open looks.. if you're getting poor grades: you might be experiencing a shot meter glitch..

My next expectation is the hammer and knife to the Playmaker ability of Point Forwards and Playmakers.. I'm just waiting and expecting.. it's inevitable..

Their strategy: sell us on the big ticket to success.. then kill your success after taking your hard work, your time, and your money invested into obtaining this big ticket..

That's not fair; at least if I had a playmaker, I'd have the movement and speed to take completely open shots!
