Game has been out 4 months and I still can't shoot

7'1 Center. Blue Green pie chart. 74 mid-range 70 shot 3.

Got all 17 of my shooting badges. Quick Draw on HOF and I can't shoot for the life of me. I could be wide open and still brick. 90% of the time it's a slightly early release.

My Jumpshot isn't bad. Whenever I'm in My Court or Pro Am arena shooting around, I get a lot of green releases

This is by far the worst shooting I've ever done in my 2k career

1st: Your jumper probably isn't as good as you think.

2nd: If always slightly early, hold it a bit longer. If you then fall into the slightly late category, lower it to gold and you should be good.

3rd: With that rating, perhaps it's you shot selection.

4th. Up your catch and shoot badge. That is, if you're more of a spot up shooter.

4.1th: Difficult Shots if you move with the ball.

74 mid and 70 3pt is pretty Bad. dont Know about mycareer Stuff, but in normal 2k play, an 80 3pt rating is around the average.

Not true at all, dudes can consistently green with a 56 3 online and in career.

**** most of my players got a 70-75 3 and they shoot like sharps due to badges + knowing my shot.

Re: Game has been out 4 months and I still can't shoot

I like silver quick draw. A lot of my friends like Gold. Base 98 is the best jumper in the game.

Catch and shoot bronze, corner specialist silver' and range extender on at least Silver helps.

I have a 70 jumper on my guard. I can green sometimes but make it a good amount. I have silver extender and Bronze catch and shoot with silver quick draw.

My 6'7 slasher has a 64 three right now and i can green with silver quick drawand silver extender.

Gonna try base 98.

I have Catch & Shoot on HOF. Got Corner Specialist on HOF.


I can green in My Career and My Court all the time which is why I didn't suspect my Jumpshot to be bad.

Yeah, those badge points would be better used elsewhere. Maybe Flexible Release or Green Machine...

Gold Quick Draw takes forever though smh. Seems like I'm holding down the button forever. Silver quick draw probably takes decades . Oh and my shot selection is great.

I green my shots in My Career and My Court, this is crazy
