Meh, sounds ok, and at worst you can change it in the settings. Thanks for the info Mike!

This is one of the most frustrating things, it feels like all CPU players at the line are between 80-90 percent when i play, no matter who's getting fouled.

will the free throw difficulty slider still be in game with the new shot meter?

if so, does it make the "perfect" window smaller/larger or does it just in general change the overall success rate

Most likely a ratings boost issue. Something like this came up last year most people on OS that responded in the thread said that FT shooting should behave like shooting in 2K14. Basically the release only give you a portion of the success and the rest is determined by ratings which makes it very hard to turn Dwight to a 80% shooter

Just be reading LD2K's response I have a feeling they made the perfect release timing window slightly smaller.

Make it like the Dreamcast days where you had to hold lightly the LT+RT triggers to shoot freethrows.

Awesome! The foundation is already there from 2K14, all it needed was refinement, similar to how 2K11 was the new template that 2K13 (IMO) molded to perfection for the previous generation. Sounds like we're heading in that direction and I can't wait...

HA! I forgot all about that technique. I wouldn't mind that coming back either.

Was it with the ugly squares on the screen ? I don't really remember. I would hate to have some random crap on the screen though.

EDIT: there at 6.20


That thing takes the whole screen. Tewwwible.

Game still looks good though.

I don't know, I don't want to miss a free throw on a perfect release for the heck of it...
