Three Point Shooting after Patch

[MFin04]

I can't for the life of me hit a three with some of my players. I've been playing with JJ Redick in my Dynasty mode..****n him off screens...shoot in transition, off the dribble...still can't get any shots to go.

I realize before the patch that threes were too easy. I probably shot 50-60% every game with all my players, but I can't figure out how to shoot 3's with him now. I'll go 0-10 or worse with him.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've tried playing on both rookie and pro mode. I've tried Ratings only and Ratings + Skill. Which would be best? I really enjoyed the game before the patch, but now I'm getting beat by 25-35 points a game.

It seems the only real way to score now is with layups. Mid-range jumpers just seem to clank off the rim as well. I'm not sure if it's the patch or if I need to change up what I'm doing. You'd think on rookie you could easily make shots from anywhere with any player.

I'd say it's a bit of both. You will need to adjust your game but refer to my thread about balance settings post patch.

Really that's weird before patch 2 i was swishing three's then after patch 2 came out it went down significantly but today on PS4 there was another update and 3's got easy again but not as easy as before but still got alot going in.

It seems like wide open 3 pointers have been touched again post patch...there were way too many of those that missed on green releases. I see a lot more go in now.

Pretty much all semi contested 3's still miss though....same with mid range jumpers

Same here. Even wide open midrange shots. KD, Kobe, etc.

I hope they didn't tune it after everyone complained with the last patch.

But they definitely adjusted something. Makes it beyond ridiculous when superstars are consistently shooting like 2-12 or some crazy low FG%.

It's because the shooting now feels like a sling shot rather than shooting, even free throws are awkward now, they need to fix the shooting because it feels unnatural now. I don't think it's percentage, I went 4-17 one game, but still shot about 48% from the field.

Midrange FT line pull-ups are even off. Uncontested.

When the game first came out, it was due to the shot timing.

They fixed it with the first patch.

I have no idea what this last one was for.

Interesting how some have changed their tune from 'adjust or give up' now that shooting is uncomfortable to them.

Guess this is where sliders would help a lot though...

Just curious, What do you mean by slingshot?

The actual shooting motion?
