You Know What Grinds My Gears: Excessive Baby Hooks

[Jesus]

I was hoping, and still am, that 2k11 will stop having players put up hook shots in excess of 7 or 8 feet from the basket. But the most recent leaked video from gamecon is a little disappointing in that respect.



(40 second mark)

Its unrealistic, an eyesore to look at, out of place and gives the illusion that scoring in the paint is simple. In all actuality that shot in particular from that distance, in traffic is rather tricky and in the 2k realm its considered a "bunny".

Give me some baby jumpers and some fade-aways. I know the game is on causal + pro, but im not sure gamestyles go as far as to change shooting animations. 2k animates far too beautifully to have such a minor thing disturb the perception.

I honestly don't mind it, it hardly happens when i play 2k10.

Agree. Those 10-15 foot shots for some is one of the most toughest shots to make. Because you can't put too much power and yet you can't shoot it with no power. It's a balance some NBA players don't have.

They should replace these unrealistic jump hooks/one-handed flip shots with a sped-up jumpshot.

You guys must remember that this is a demo, they have plenty of time to improve on the gameplay, just wait.

Players routinely shoot hook shots within 7-8 feet of the basket. 2k just needs to bring down their success.
