If there were people complaining, it was at the bare minimum compared to the complaining now post patch 4. Again you have to realize that sliders fixed those issues. Raising shooting and lay-up sliders help those issues you just noted pre patch 4. Even if a player couldn't get a green release, the shot would still fall majority of the time nonetheless. Post patch 4 sliders cannot fix any problem that green release and wide open shots have done. In 2K it's very easy to get open, even if you are doing post fades with big men. Wide open in 2K=automatic green release now and no sliders or roster updates will be able to fix that thanks to patch 4.

I think it was the MyTeam section that I saw people complaining and obviously that's an online mode and they can't touch sliders.

But if you already had a my league it wouldn't have been effected by this update

Actually no. I had been doing some simming post patch to check on how the new regression system works (very well mind you, great job to 2k for fixing that) and then I went on vacation to Florida. I was going to start a new one. Maybe I'll just download someone else's roster to use in MyLeague. I believe the regression issue is solved for user made rosters as well as the 2k roster, correct (question for anyone that knows)?

The idea of a green perfect release seemed like a potentially bad idea. Fortunately as tuned on release, they were very rare and the game functioned even when they were glitched for some players. Unfortunately, green releases made green releases a thing over just playing basketball-- and now the patch to fix what was sort of a gimmicky feature that shouldn't have a major impact has essentially compromised what was otherwise a solid game foundationally. It's rather frustrating.

Decided to sim a season before I start My League to see how all stats play out since they did these global edits. Overall stats look pretty good, but FG% is a tad low but not too bad, 3pt FG% is definitely a little lower than it should be, by about 3%. Probably could adjust some of the elite 3pt shooters up and the team 3pt FG% could possibly be a little closer to where it should be.


So for anyone wondering if it did effect FG% since the global drop in shooting, it does, but I think with a few tweaks to the elite 3pt shooters, you might be able to get it closer to that of real life.

Where is the link to the roster update? Curious to see shooting ratings change
