NBA 2K15 New Shot Meter Explained

[jersez]

How will the shot meter effect signature skills like deadeye, catch and shoot and shot creator? A little off topic but has the active hands,finisher,pick pocket and posterizer signature skills been balanced?

Thanks for all the responses Beluba. It all sounds great.

I really hope this does take away the ability to "go off" with role players that are great shooters. Kyle Korver being the best example the last several years. Sure he can have a big game but hopefully this makes those "big games" far less frequent.

Beautifully implemented I might add.

Mike and the team have done a pronominal creating a formidable skill gap between players in NBA 2K15.

I get what you are saying but we are far, far away from having individual matchup stats and then having them update on command to that level. You most likely will have incomplete data since it is based off a season and players don't guard everyone. If the player is a good defender and is effective contesting shots then the defender will have a better contest rating across the league. I am saying they need to use something to that level to increase realism per player.

Yes, it accumulates over the course of the game every time a player is involved in some type of collision (body ups, contact shots, etc.)

And yes, trucks like Bron have more leniency than softer guys.

The bigger the value, the larger the target. Now, it's your job to hit that target. So Russ' elbow jumper is much easier to time than Beal's, and vice versa at the 3pt line.

Ok thanks that clears it up. It is much more dynamic than I realized
