I've played with the meter off for as long as I can remember, years. I hate the meter, to me it's distracting. I do play with the timing feedback on and it will let me know after the fact but in the moment the meter is no help to me.

Nah Real % has nothing to do with it. I've missed a few green release free throws with UT online and offline. The most frustrating thing ever.

People talking about shooting consistency in online pro am or park etc. have to realize that all those badges and high rated players on the court mess with your player's rhythm and success. 7-3 guys and 99 rated players, basically multiple shaqs or Jordans on the court would definitely effect the consistency of the best shooters in real life. How would curry shoot against 95-96 bulls? Probably not the same as he did against the 15-16 wizards the other night!

Obviously 2k listens and makes some adjustments based on feedback. I just hope they discern people's experiences online from people facing the CPU in my league or my gm. As a Lakers user in myleague, the stats and eye test seem ok to me

I do seem to have better results by not looking at the shot meter and I try to ignore it, but leave it on because I have a hard time making free throws without it. I know I can easily switch it on-off before the free throw, but wouldn't it be great if they let you practise free throws.

Like, how are you even supposed to fight against that? Rhythm should be dependent on the user 100% of the time, not some mechanic that sometimes randomly decides to shut off your shot for 'realism' and 'simulating an off shooting night.'

watched the 2k tips 1 or 2 episodes back and they talked abt the "5 passes" tips. perhaps that could give u some good rhythm shots in pro-am?

I've never missed any green release free throws in any 2K. I'd probably be absolutely furious if that happened.

Thanks for posting the article 8KB24!

For me these two sections were the most intriguing:

"...In*2K16, the shot is not always guaranteed; rather, the green release increases the shot’s likelihood by an approximate factor of two. For example, if a player, after all mitigating factors are considered, has a 40 percent chance of making the shot, the green release will give him an 80 percent chance. There is a tipping point, however—if a player is ranked under 30 percent for a shot, there are no "green frames" at all..."

“...When you stare at the meter, you’re going to lose sight of the context around you, and you’re going to be*overthinking*the game. If you can get down to the point where shooting is second nature and it’s got a feel to it, you’re going to find that rhythm...”

“...It’s all about rhythm..."
