What I got out of it:

A players shot ratings + his current situation is going to determine how big or small that "perfect timing" zone is.

So you take a fatigued player and shoot a heavily contested, off balance 3 with him, his zone is going to be extremely small, compared to a fresh player taking an open, spot up 3. So bad shots will miss with regularity, as they should. Also means players online could be punished for jacking 35+ shots with one player, as fatigue now affects shots more.

The higher the ratings = The bigger the sweet spot, though its still difficult to get perfect releases depending on the level.

Re: New Shot Meter

This sounds promising but does it keep people from making shots they have no business making more than they should?

Re: New Shot Meter

Re: New Shot Meter

Hopefully fatigue and some situational things come into play. Seems like if you just run down the court with curry every play and jack an open 3 is a viable strategy whereas in real basketball it's not and leads to fast breaks the other way.

It's actually very similar to the design of Free Throw shooting. You can make the shot if you manage to get perfect timing but your % falls the further you are from the ideal release point. If you're way off, it's a guaranteed miss.
It seems like this you have a small window to get the shot right and then the success goes down a cliff depending on how good a shooter is. Guys who are good at shot stick releases will love this. This will bring way more stick skill competitiveness back to shot stick timing. I can see people complaining and using more real%

I hope the fatigue affects your success and not your range
