Maybe because you're the only one making the assumption that they don't already do this.

Maybe we could break down uncontested/contested shots even further... for example: Green Release: - hit 70.2% when uncontested - hit 27.6 % when lightly contested - hit 12,5 % when contested Yellow Release (slightly early/late): - hit 33.4% when uncontested - hit 15.6% when lightly contested - hit 5.5% when contested Red Release (very early/late): - hit 8.5% when uncontested - hit 1.5% when lightly contested - hit 0.05% when contested I think that with such a system we will have a good compromise between user skills and realistic shooting percentage. In order to compete you will have to learn player shooting release, but also you can't except to make trees after threes with green releases with Deandre Jordan... Just my 5 cents...

I hope Mike Wang and the 2K staff see this post. This method makes the most logical sense.

If you see my post above you, I think he was talking about that;

No one can truly guard a 7' or above guy who's doing the zig zag and also a bunch of overpowered stepbacks, hesitations, and crosses.
Once a guy gets good at spamming all that, and learned his jumpshot (which is stupid in it's own right) it's over. No matter how good you play or defend he can still score 8 a game in a 15 point match lol.

Hopefully this means no more "learning shots" so if you get a green you just make everything...that's really what part of the problem is.

I feel like whatever they're doing to the shot meter to make it "Much Rarer in NBA 2K16, No Longer 100%" is only to counter what they can't fix with the on ball defense. So that when a ball handler zig zags to get an open shot, then misses the defender feels rewarded majority of the time.

Most logical sense? How many players are notorious for making contested shots? Kobe Bryant for example, especially with his turnaround fade. You really think he makes only 12.5% of his shots?

Then you should use those special abilities and play Lotto. You won't regret it.

First off, I said everyone has trouble defending it. Never said "NO ONE" can defend it. I say if you read my post a little better, you'll know I didn't say that.

We know what you typed, and your message was quite clear. But if you want to backpedal from it now, then the point of your post is weakened. If this is exactly what you meant, then we are actually in agreement about how hard it is to guard. But I don't consider something HARD to do to be cheese.

EDIT: seems we are in agreement. My bad for my initial response.

Did you read the post? Those are not real percentages just examples. The point is KOBE's percentages field goal percentages would matter as well as your release.

Ahh missed that. I like it, but don't really know how they would get that information for every single player in the NBA. And how would that play out with created players? For example your MyPlayer.
