Wide open shots miss more than contested shots

I've done an experiment, at least a dozen or more games online.

It seems no matter how wide open you are you can brick your shot even with a perfect release.

Yet the most difficult shots even at 3 pointers go in more. Fade aways, runners whatever.

There seems to be no release point that's good. You can make shots even with he longest or shortest release.

I've tested this more with Ray Allen than anyone. He literally misses most all wide open shots. It's unbelievable.

Does Live 10 have any contested or wide open game logic?

Re: Wide open shots miss more than contested shots

Yeah this is really confusing to me, just like you said it seems like it is harder to make wide open shots then ones with a hand or two in your face. All so sometimes on fastbreaks i accidently launch for the three a few feet behind the line, and the shot almost always never hits rim, and almost looks like it rips the net.

It kind of feels like the game decides when you should make shots on a script, with nothing to do with how open you are or your position to the basket.

Ya, that's game logic. Maybe DNA messes with this? But still I checked that possibility by going to Ray Allen's fav spot and his most success. He misses there more than he does when someone jumps in his face.

Re: Wide open shots miss more than contested shots

not seeing this at all. Im playing with the clipps in my dynasty and I won't shoot a contested shot because getting an open one is almost money. Maybe it's a dna thing with ray. Im gonna try some tonite with him.

i've don't think i've ever seen anyone hit every single wide open shot they've ever taken? i haven't seen this problem, i've been happy w/ the %'s in pretty much every game i've played.

It is all percentages. The game will play exactly the same whether there is defense or not. It has strict percentage boundaries that it abides by no matter what.

If Live continues with this sort of DNA, I hope they add percentages for contested shots and what not.

I'm not sure I buy that. How did you reach that conclusion?
