The man does it again. Nice

On superstar atleast, shooting is too easy. Also seems like they increased player speed a notch or three.

Being open isn't enough and should never be. On higher difficulties you have to learn hot/cold spots , whether player is good off dribble or only set shots , do badges help ( corner specialist, deadeye) , tendencies, etc etc This game is ALOT more complicated than people here know. Having a 95 standing 3pt shot means nothing if u shoot off dribble while in a cold spot even if u consider that a open shot

You can 'know' the shot animation all you want (I know Jordan's release nearly like the back of my hand) but nobody is ever going to hit the release on point every single time, and in some circumstances, you're just going to have games where lag can mess with the release timing. Thing is, the game sometimes punishes you because of it. Especially when the other team goes on runs. If you so happen to play the Rec religiously, you'd see what I'm talking about.

My player literally ha every single hot spot on the court, and most of the time, I can shoot in the 60%-ish range. But sometimes, no matter what I do, unless I hit perfect release after perfect release, I can't buy a bucket on wide open shots. Now I'm not saying I expect to make every shot, but I do expect to make a good percentage of them when I'm shooting smart shots. Going 30%-40% from the field with all hot spots and nothing but wide open shots is unacceptable, especially when it can sometimes happen in back-to-back games. All because they were 'slightly early' or 'slightly late.'

So this will not work in my existing franchise..i have no problem starting over.

Quick question, if a player have a bad knee that drop from 85-70..can you train the player injury training for the entire year, will that knee durability strengthen like say 70-75..thanks man great work.

After about 30-40 park games i've noticed shooting is now overpowered as hell. Yellow shots goes in at a slightly higher percentage then before. But the big change is excellent releases, it's ridicolous how easy it is to get green releases now i had plenty of games in that 30-40 park game stretch where i went 4/4 or 5/5 from 2s where 80-100% were green releases. What have they done? Before this patch i felt lucky getting 1-2 green releases per game. However im barely seing any contested shots going in. So that seems to be good.

I'm confused. Is there any information about progression/regression tuning with this patch? What was done?

Thanks, if anyone knows.

If what is true from what I've been reading, if 2k did tremendously improve the servers, that may have a big part to play in the improved shooting.
