Am I the only one not seeing this? I've seen quite a few different animations for the ball going in. Shooters bounces, rolling in, etc.

Three's.

2's are fine.

If they stopped adding animations right now, I'd personally be fine...whatever, work on them in the offseason and add them to Live 16...

Just work on collisions in the paint man...you could be standing right in the hole with someone coming directly at you and you'll only get a collision about 60-65% of the time....last year was probably around 45-50%...so it's an improvement, but that should be the priority IMO...

The 'rag doll physics' are great to look at in replays and all that but I'm not seeing them really have a big effect within the actual game...

Yep, I see variety on mid range jumpers and shots in the paint. The three ball is a swish every time though.

[WTF]

I've seen several different makes from 3. My favorite is where it hits back iron and forcefully through the hoop. You can hear the thud on the rI'm on the way through too.

Haven't played in several days, is the halftime/postgame shows still non-existent on PS4?

[WTF]

Yep, still missing.

On a cool note, just turned it over off of a bad pass out of bounds in Detroit, and heard the "Detroit Basketballllll" pa announcement

I've seen threes hit the back iron but that's the only variety to the three besides the swish.

Would like to see the accidental banker every couple of games or so, and also some that hit the front iron, bounce to the backboard and in, or ones that roll in (and out!). Just have to add the animation and let them trigger every now and again.

With threes being as they are, what it means is the shots are basically scripted. Now, don't jump on me for saying gameplay is scripted. I'm not going that far. I'm just saying that the ball isn't exactly live. It's already pre-determined to go in as soon as the shot is released.

There's no other factor that contributes to a shot doing the several other animations like it coming off the finger tips differently, or the ball drifting slightly to the right or left because pressure changes the shot slightly or the player is leaning a certain direction or the shot clock is winding down.

Those things and more affect shot attempts.
