What happened? Shooting is a lot harder now.

Im lucky to make 2 3ptrs a game now and clank countless midrange shots.

Did something change?

The timing on holding R-stick for jump shots is significantly longer in this game than in past games. I had to go into practice mode to get the timing down for jumpers on my favourite team.

I personally think the timing is way off and it's much too long. There are animations where I can literally see my player coming down from his jump and I let go to release the shot and it tells me I'm too early.

I feel like the opposite happened in 2K13; I have a lot easier time shooting on the perimeter, but driving to the basket is a lot tougher than it used to be.

I'm fine with it for now, as long as its not like I DON'T MAKE ANYTHING like before CHRISTMAS, Im fine with it. I bet it's cause of the competition. But then again, I kept on bricking with LaMarcus with timing that is like easy to ace. But that was just one game, I'm sure it'll be better for me tomorrow.

yes, the shot timing on this game is horrible!! i release at the top of the jumper per each players shot and most of the time the shot is in the yellow. dosnt matter if im standing still or a moving shot. this game has gotten worse since NBA 2k8. that was the best in the series and that game even sucked. but it was more fun. i cant speak for 2k9-2k11. why are sports games so bad! its like their selling me the same crap year after year with NO improvements. madden included.

what slider should I change to help offset the shot timing ? i read that it can be bc of hot zones? so now i need to watch my fav team on TV and remember all their hot zones??? thanks 2k

I find much easier shooting from a stop position

you playing old school top of jump release 2k, new 2k is top of SHOT release meaning.... once the shooting animation starts the ball will stop at a certain point before it needs to be released, find that spot and your jumpers will go in if ratings are good.
