IRL people hit shots in peoples face more frequently than in 2k. However, In 2k17 players miss lightly contested shots too often. Example: A player 1 foot behind the free throw line getting a C+ shot rating when a defender is about 3 ft from him in the paint. Also this is partly why so many teams play zone in 2k. Lightly contested Shots should go in more often
but open shots success as well as green releases need to go way down to balance this out. If 2k made lightly contested shot success increase without downgrading the open shot success as well as green release frequency, this would be patch 4 levels of insanity.
Based on what I see while playing the game, it seems that shots that are contested late(like immediately after the player has released his shot) still seem to affect the shot success quite a bit. This should not be the case. Also these late contests should be called fouls more often if they run into the shooter
