NBA 2K16's Latest Shooting Update Has Made 3-Pointers Too Easy in Pro-Am

[JayBillups36]

I think it has evened out. I still don't get them often and never on contested shots where someone is actually playing good defense. Why is it that I can only hit a green dot 3 from the corner? If I'm wide open other places I should also have the ability to. Only makes sense. My team plays good D. No one shoots over 60% on us. Period.

There have been numeral games (it gets repetitive) where he is simply cashing out on 3 after 3. It's not like he's playing any differently but his boldness and confidence is definitely juiced since the recent tweak was introduced. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk

I am a balanced PG. My 3pt rating isn't even high and I feel like Steph Curry will most likely be in 2K17.

My boldness is too. I never just take 3s like that unless I am wide open off a pass. But now if I get a little space, it's good. I am just convinced a lot of people couldn't shoot before and since 2K made it easier are happy now.

Wasn't like you couldn't make open shots before the update. It'll be lowered again. No way Mike can leave it like this w/ how easy it is. People will start to see when they play against someone that could shoot easily pre update lol. So this has to feel like Pro to me and those people.

It's not about just being green. It's about the success rate. If I have a little space, it's most likely good; green or not. It's not all about playing good D. Yes that helps and the main thing but that doesn't mean people should almost make every shot because their open or even slightly open.

Few questions. What system are you on? Are you talking park or proam? If you're talking park you just told a lie. If you lost a game I am pretty sure someone shot 60% on you in a game to 21. If you couldn't get green at all in areas, have you checked your player card and hot zones? If not, you probably have grey or cold zones. If their hot and you still aren't getting open greens you just probably don't have good shooting ratings or can't shoot manually. There isn't a spot in the half court where it's impossible to get green.

When my online league (superstar sim) started to shoot three pointers at a 40% clip compared to a 35 the season before, it seemed surprising to me. Now I see it wasn't me obsessing about the %.

Please changes it back to what it was, or tell us what sliders we should use.

I haven't seen any developers saying that the shooting's changed any since Saturday morning.

All of the Pro Am games I've played since Saturday have felt the same. I've completed about 15 games since then and open threes are going in for my team at about a 75% rate.

You can still get a green release from anywhere around the three-point arc, as long as you're within two to three steps of the line, just like you could on Saturday.

No I don't play park pro am only

JROCC, that's a balanced OF in your clips? Lol I was fooled. My balanced SG is also having games where he hits 3 consecutive 3s albeit I have his shooting boosted to 83 on 3s.

I have the meter off but the success rate has me shooting like I'm an Outside stud. I was definitely more gun shy with him prior to this tweak.

*I have yet to use an Outside Scorer during this new green light district period.

Yes he's a balanced PG that you see hitting back to back to back 3s. 81 3pt lol.

I've never really had issues before the update but now, since I am not worried about missing 3s if I get a decent shot off. I am expecting green now lol.

welcome to the outlook for all top players in all of 15 and 16.

If it's not green, reset and get a green or dunk.
