Re: Can someone explain the Shot Meter off boost?

Long story short, the shot meter is broken. Can't tell you how many times I've had a early/slightly early release or late/slightly late and the bar look exactly the same.

Ive learned to rely on animation to shoot.
The meter is ****, and timing a shot is difficult with lag spikes and difference between jumpshots, pull ups, fades in timing.

The only thing that seems consistent to me is basing my point of release on the animation

It's all based & pre-determined on who is scripted to get the greens anyway.


I've played hundreds of games this year online & can say that I've had games where I can green every shot I take & others where I brick every full bar using the same players.


So until they fix the inconsistency, I'm hesitant to even call it a "boost".

to be honest the shot meter should be abolished, real life basketball has no meter, no 100% guaranteed made shot, no perfect timing, sometimes your release is perfect and the ball just doesnt go in, it is what it is, shout out out to all my real hoopers that play with no shot meter

Re: Can someone explain the Shot Meter off boost?

heres how i understand it:

Picture a target with the bullseye being equivalent to a green release (excellent timing) and the various outer rings being progressively worse releases. Also instead of an arrow you're shooting a paint ball gun.

now let's say a standard shot leaves a standard size blotch on the target, but badges and/or defenders proximity can increase or decrease the size of your blotch on the target. A larger blotch would then theoretically allow a shot that was slightly late/early to over-lap the ring its in and reach the bullseye.

I imagine that good timing with the meter off would also be a factor that increases your blotch size.

hopefully that makes sense lol

i completely disagree with this. Either you or your internet simply aren't good enough for you to shoot consistently. i don't say that to disparage you, it's just based on what you admitted. On the flip side, i and
many other can cash out with my myplayer and in association with practice.

There is no 100% guaranteed shot on perfect timing this year.
