Literally low risk or normal risk is an option for the ones that can’t shoot. Why is that so hard to understand 😂. Why are y’all so convinced that casual players should be able to pick up and easily use the hardest shooting settings without having the actually learn anything different
Just contest in general needs reworking. The only reason I'm not too bent out of shape is because it works both ways when you play. Also lane steals need tuning.
I actually agree with Ronnie. 2K is MEANT to be a basketball simulator. in reality they should bring back a sub genre like NBA Street. i think a game like that is in great demand from people like you
Bro I've spent hours in mycourt and shooting around in online courts. The shot changes every other shot. You NEVER know where to release. Something isn't right for me.
@@jaylonmitchell7669only for spot ups, if your a spot up you should be shooting good. Us guards are the ones that are struggling the most. Spot ups have no say so imo

It’s crazy how the key to stopping cheaters is to punish the players who aren’t cheating by making us shoot shots that should be green but it’s not now …..
@@TheUnknowns-db7ly I’m still leaving you open lmao, 2k is not letting you shoot perfect in a game so you ain’t making all your shots nd that’s just facts 🤣🤣
whats the point of even timing your release of a jumpshot if RNG will make you miss anyways, literally makes no sense, nothing you say could convince me otherwise. Stop glazing a game that gets worse year after year for the last 7 years
I swear people are so delusional defending ts like bro it’s a video game if you can time your shot you should be able to make every wide open shot no reason for the green window to move punishing people for knowing how to shoot is outrageous 2k is already ass at being a simulation game no reason to try to make up for that with shooting
The issue with your stance is you’re talking about timing your shot. The green window isn’t timing based this year, it’s based on a visual cue. If you can’t understand that and continue to shoot off “I know my timing” don’t be surprised when the shooting feels inconsistent.
@@AdrianSimmonsJr. but thats stupid dude, why should i be punished this year for knowing my jumpshot by changing the timing on the green window, thats literally punishing players that are good at the game because they know how to time a jumpshot, your arguement is dumb and has no logic. Changing the timing of the green window is literally making comp players casual which is stupid.
I just want to know why shooting is always being messed with. This has been going on since Mike Wang came onboard back in 2k16... If you want consistent shooting, it's simple, fire Mike Wang..
Last night I played a dude who had no badges dropped 18 shooting perfectly. Playing at night is people full of zens. On top of that they have no steal, yet they steal every driving layup/ dunk. Shit crazy bruh
He did have badges🤦🏾♂️ even 60 ovr have some badges. And you can strip anyone going for layups with 25 steal if you time it right. That needs to be patched
Yeah he had bronze badges brother. But he only had a 76 3. I played great defense yet he shot over me. Another thing is that how I can’t get an on ball steal with a 91 steal on a 50 ball handle build. But they can rip me off with a 25 steal, even tho I have 95 ball control 🤦🏿♂️😂😂
That steal on attempts to drive to the rim is crazy, you don't even have to press anything lmao. I haven't even touched my steal but I do have a 92 perimeter defense. I get them often when trailing the ball handler.
it's probably too integral to the game. like too many animations based on the shot timing that will have to be removed from the code. its not that easy to just take it out
The problem from what I see(cause I don’t have 25’) isn’t the shooting, it’s the RNG. If that was taken out and it was based on timing and contest, it would be better. RNG should never be implemented into sports games. Madden got the same issues with random Inaccurates. Until 2k gets an anti cheat to combat zens, they will continue these dumb practices to try and get them out(which clearly hasn’t worked). Im not a fan of releasing my jumpshot in the same place but 2k moves my green window every time.
@@carloswiggins7256 foreal though bro jumped High pointed the basketball and everything shit crazy. I ain’t ever seen that in too many basketball games in real life. But shooting has to be so realistic alright..
let’s be honest with the elephant in the room…DEFENSE is the key staple that needs to be helped…In the NBA…IRL… when you see true shooting percentages…the reason why you see a great perimeter shooter shoot from the low to mid 40%s from the field is because of what?…Defense!!…you don’t see them taking wide open shots as much because there’s always a hand within 1 foot of them and by any chance they do get open is from a defense breakdown when it doesn’t happen often…It’s fair defense play is when shooting percentags are decent…now 2k on the other hand…defense is nonexistent let’s be honest…it isn’t the shooting…never been the shooting…they make it so to replicate IRL which we all know is bs…2K needs to time and work to balance defense to keep up with offense to make a decent gameplay along with a true green window based on skill!!!!…c’mon man that shooting RNG bs is all “smoke and mirrors” to hide that downside to 2k which they been struggling for years!!!!…and I’m surprise no one didn’t see that
Finally someone with a Brain whi actually watches basketball tired of dumbasses saying realism when majority of shots nba players take are contested not open or wide open like most players in 2k
Yeah it’s so dumb I could understand not getting consistent shots while being guarded but missing a ton on WIDE threes it’s just crazy especially when some people have better shooting than Steph who will go like 92/100 on wide open shots
Everybody defense is trash because they have to spend all attributes on shooting just to hit open shots. 2k was fine how it was in 2k17. Every year after that they fucked it over so bad people started cheating like it's normal
Ronnie is acting like this is a reality based game. It’s no way you got 5’9 guards running around dunking either. If your open and due to poor defense and time you shot right you should be able to hit the shot. I can understand fades, contested, and shots that are forced but wide open misses to a player with a high 3pt that is timing it is crazy
Key message here lowering 3pt % emphasizes better basketball. There is no reason to take a 2 when it’s easy to average 70% from three. 2K24 everyone averaged +60%. It was common to see people go 12/12 from three. It made the game boring.
All these dudes do is spam steals and shoot threes. 2k shouldn’t touch shooting, it’s not fun watching people hunt for threes and even make contested shots.
I don't even mind the shooting, it's how my players turn into cones while playing defense. Dennis Rodman would never stop running for a block, the realism is trash.
@@fatpenguincake4518i’m saying bro! don’t get me wrong i’m adjusting to rhythm shooting on my guard but cheaters gonna cheat no matter what. when’s there’s a will there’s a way
@@ssXFROSTYno, dudes that suck use zens too. They just wanna be good at a game without trying and have grown money. It’s a simple shortcut and they’ll never get banned cause they’re just in casual lobbies that don’t care about the other team. 90% of the time they’re fighting with their own teammates for the ball.
If that’s the case needs to find a way to nerf teams who 5 out and play zone all game then if we can’t shoot them out of the zone and they come back screen and roll all game
They should’ve made the green windows smaller and kept green machine in as a badge that’ll significantly widen your window for consecutive greens, that way those who sacrifice for the gold-legend green machine could hit 4-7 shots in a row after finding their timing at the end of the day it is a video game all this realism is killing it, especially considering we’re already using real money to try to even compete with other good players
Man I’ve played against some good ppl with low 3s making them wide open. Consecutively too y’all whine too much and when the game gets nerfed yall complain about your build being useless. Learn your shot
Shooting doesn’t need to be changed I just say the delay on shooting is terrible. Half the time when I shoot I have to hold the button longer bc my shot is loading instead of going straight to shooting motion. Even on catch and shoot situations(which it’s the worst on)
If I have on high risk I should be getting a high reward for timing it correctly, but it seems like low risk low reward is looking like low risk high reward.
@@cheezo8 and all my builds were shooting builds Ik how I am ima lose my mind wide open everything I need to make sure I get a extra boost to hit shots just to miss a good wide open shot gone kill the whole mood
If they buff shooting, all I know is I better get some contest on the perimeter because I could be playing perfect defense and if I see an open and it’s green every time I might just end my life
This is why they shouldn’t buff shooting. The players need to adjust and stop spamming 3s. They need to patch steals and loose ball awareness(the offensive player almost always get loose balls back), it’s ridiculous.
Everything should be like 2k20, defense, shooting, park, it was litteraly the perfect game, I don't want to sweat every damn game I just want to have fun, I don't want shooting to be hard I want it to be fun that's all. I'm not a youtuber playing 16 hours a day learning all dribble move, every jumpshot animation, etc... I don't care about realism I just want a good and easy game I can enjoy with friends after a day of work
Badge you gotta realize everybody ain’t tryna sweat bro…the game was more fun when everyone can shoot. So tired of UA-cam ppl purposely trying to make the game harder just to have an edge over players. That’s what they gave yall comp modes for
What you are saying is that someone who spends hours should be the same as someone who spends minutes, it’s not fair. If your a casual who gets mad they can’t shoot, go play my team or my nba or smt
@@Dan-f5ybro last year sweats still averaged 10-20% higher on 3s than the average player. Were just simply saying forcing us to shoot around 40-50% in a VIDEO game is stupid
I shoot very bad from 3 but I ain’t complaining, it’s a me problem, not anyone or anything else. The complaining about not playing like a superstar is what makes the game garbage.
LISTEN UP EVERYONE! When it comes to rhythm shooting, you all keep thinking you have to come to a complete stop?!? You dont! Shoot like normal while using the stick but just add a extra motion of flicking the stick up with the motion of the shot! So if you wanted to do a fadeaway to the left while going towards the base line, you would flick the stick down to the left and then with the motion of the shot, flick it up to the right quickly. Its hard to put into words but just pull back on the stick whenever you would normally press "shoot button" and follow the motion of the shot that follows. This is how I do all my fades and I am shooting about 71% in the rec on a 83 3pt. (at park)
Imagine paying money for a build and you can’t even make open shots and when you play good defense it says open 😂 I’m so glad I didn’t bought 2K this year.
You're asking why doesn't 2K tell us the exact benefit or effect we get from different badge levels and other game mechanics? Bro, it's because they literally have no idea what half of the stuff does when they put it in. They just wait until we all play and complain. Then they patch it. Usually with an over-correction.
I didn’t spend 75$ to be limited to a set amount of bases where’s the diversity if I have to use a certain base I should be able to hit if I time my shot correctly no matter the base
I agree with the latency part💯 me and my friends had a friendly 3v3 tournament in the my court and the connection was amazing we was playing the best we ever had on 2k 25 which made us really realize how bad the servers are.
It sounds like a lot of people thought they'll be HIM this year and isn't HIM due to the fact of not making adjustments, just wanting the easy way out like every yr and then branding themselves comp 😂 I've been tired of the same gameplay that's been ran for many years just people exploiting the game everybody with the same builds and so called cheese moved playing the exact same way with the other 2 players sitting in corner on punishment watching one man dribble the air out the ball and calling that comp. The cry babies are making 2k soft. I remember when PGs used to guard PGs builds was so different, I respect what 2k is doing in 25 we need a brand new community
So with that being said… After making 3 straight 3s 2K forces you to change your style of play basically. Here’s the thing let’s say I’ve been left wide open at the 3 point line on my fourth shot attempt. So 2k says you’re gonna miss and you have no control over it. That’s a wild situation especially if it was in a game point scenario. You miss that game winning shot just cuz 2k wants you to “change your style of play” like what!!?? If I lose the game on top of that, oh yeah this game is getting uninstalled
Guys I have a brilliant idea here’s what we do you ready we BAN cheaters I swear people don’t get banned on 2K for using Zens and there’s no report system😂
U guys are acting like a billion dollar company doesn’t have the resources or stats to review a report the company is just so lazy u guys didn’t think of that smh
i’d rather play zens atp then 10 different shot types … i still had a high 70 win percentage in 2k21 and people were zening😭 and people are cheating now!!!
Facts I had 78 win % in 24 played numerous cheaters and beat them i even got clips! But what made it fun was that at least I COULD SHOOT AS WELL WITHOUT cheating
yeah badge plug you’re right. 2k needs to fix the servers primarily so that the latency is not noticeable if you have good internet. that will solve so many issues for everybody, including shooting problems for a majority of players who always complain
I have never been able to shoot well in online modes , until this year. If you just put in some effort and do all the little maintenance things to keep your player playing at their peak potential ( hot spots , gatorade drills , boosts, practice your shot) you will hit shots if you are taking good ones
“keeping it realistic” when NBA players most of the time are taking contested shots lmao. Have you seen these professionals shoot wide open shots or shots with space in general? They don’t miss. Isn’t our MyPlayer the next goat in the NBA? So then why is it that we’re missing WIDE open shots 7/10 times. It’s literally insane to me.
Me too. It’s a big skill gap this year. People use to make every shot the past few years, now they are complaining because they can’t cheat and exploit the game
Agreed, all these dudes do is hunt for 3s but now they crying because they’re forced diversify their games. These dudes been using exploits and zens, 2k finally adapted
Mike Wang has it right. The 1. Option is the best option and the one that will produce games that look/feel as close to a real basketball game as possible. Just like in the NBA, some players can’t shoot jumpshots well enough to be taking them often. Yet those players still find a place on NBA teams, how is that? Oh that’s right they understand there’s more aspects to the game than shooting, and they focus on being better in other areas to make up for their lack of a jumpshot. Does the builder force you up your 3pt/Mid range rating? So if casuals can’t shoot, guess what their solution is? Make a build that’s focus isn’t shooting. This is why I’m loving the new 2k, because it’s finally exposing people who have no business playing the position they keep trying to play, and the game is better off without those people ruining no squads lobbies for people that don’t have an entire group of friends that play (most people). If you can’t shoot well enough to shoot 40%+ from 3 and 50%+ FG then make a build that specializes in defense and inside scoring, or quit. I’ll take a quality playerbase of people who don’t throw games over a slightly larger playerbase with millions of monkeys that take the PG/SG positions and avg less than 4 assists per game on less than 50% FG
With the shooting being this inconsistent and the lane steals being this OP 2-3 zone is so difficult to break this year. Also, the match making is forcing me to have to lock in to every rec game like it’s game 7 of the finals. 2K really needs to stop changing the game so drastically every single year.
I don’t understand this community. Supposedly the game rigged it so you can only hit 2 shots back to back, then 3 shots, now it’s up to 5? Sounds like people are just getting better at shooting as time goes on. How are people able to logically jump to the belief that they have been perfect since day 1 and some secret patch is the reason they’re getting better or worse results… community is full of professional victims
@@AdrianSimmonsJr. exactly bro, people were crying for day 1 but the people who really play are actually getting better and getting used to the new system. People just want to cry because they want to shoot 6/6 off rip with no skill 💀 people gonna complain until 2k kills the game with patches
13:27 hell no wtf. I literally should be able to time every shot.. anything other than that is basically the game having a code that's rigging the game. How can you learn to time something that isn't consistent? There was already a bunch of factors that effected your timing during any given shot that made it harder. In theory, on former 2ks from a few years back, yes you could green everything but nobody was doing that so you can't justify this move. Ppl aren't even hitting their whites. So it's still green or miss but you can't green
I confidently say that in online modes the cue does not stay the same. I use push and always release when the ball reaches my head and sometimes it green and sometimes it’s not.
Thank you for bringing up the phantom ball strips when driving. Honestly the worst part of the game next to interior defense. Side note...if opponents quit out of a game early you lose boosts but not Gatorade. Strange
Games not been out for long and it’s already getting boring, it is ridiculous that you can time your shot the same way every time and still miss 3 wide open shots
I work full time 6am-4:30pm after work play for about maybe 2 hours max and on the weekends I’ll play all day if I don’t have any plans. I have a dog and my wife works and does school so I cook half the time too. In my limited time since the game come out I’ve been able to get to 94 overall, I’m 45-26 in the city/park haven’t played any other game mode, and I’m rookie 3, I finally have the whole 3pt line hotspot and about half my badges maxed. I went from shooting 28% from 3 to 49% with the Rhythm shooting. I put in the work to learn the rhythm mechanic, learn my jump shot and grind as much badges that I can In my limited time. I also play other games too. So please people just take your time. The problem is people just want to load up into game and green 3s with no effort. I’m all for making shooting easier i don’t care, the best are still gonna be winning and the bad will still be losing.
Started at 78 three ball on my swing. Shot 40% and made an 83 three ball on my lock and shot 15/18 from the three my first rec game with 51 points. I have a lot of mixed emotions about this!
Don’t change it. If the animation is consistent with the release point, then you just gotta find a jumper and stick with it. I think I found mine after spending countless hours in mycourt microadjusting jumpers.
Honestly 2k can do whatever the hell they want, any update they want or even any patch. JUST BE TRANSPARENT! We shouldn’t have to guess the game we’re playing, or have 3rd party communities to tell us things we should know on launch.
This is the first 2K that i have played like i was really playing basketball while feeling affective. I dont feel like i have to spam screens with little guards and shoot 50 3s a game to keep up. The dribbling is more realistic. I wish there was more of a stamina penalty for excessive handling a sprinting that doesnt go away because possession changed too
I agree with you on getting rid of the RNG. However, getting rid of the RNG or getting rid the wonky constantly changing release point IS patching shooting. I know it's pedantic, I know nothing else would be getting changed, but that is literally what a patch is.
All this realism but they don’t talk about the fact that IRL good defense is played. Most the shots nba players taking would be considered lightly contested not open. Nba players in this age of basketball rarely miss open, PLAY BETTER DEFENSE!!
They should not buff shooting. They just remove RNG and fix the shot contest system(every contested shot says open). The players need to adjust and stop spamming 3s. They do need to patch steals and loose ball awareness(the offensive player almost always get loose balls back), it’s ridiculous.
This is what no ones talking about. All these 3 hunters out here acting like shooting is the problem when its damn near perfect. Defense has been an issue in 2k for years
@@apexpredator7536 I have a 74 3pt as a center and ever since I started using rhythm shooting im shooting better than most cards with 80 90 its Come down to u actually have to know your stuff and have badges, I would say hotspot but I’m banging with no hotspots yet
In reference to the current debate around shooting in NBA 2K25, I believe the difficulty is both yes and no. For casual players-especially those who have been playing the game for years and are used to easily shooting above 60% without much effort-the new mechanics may feel more challenging. This shift can be frustrating if you’re not putting in the time to refine your skills.
I'm with you badge plugs thank you for using your platform to speak up for the community. You're right I don't play a lot of comp this year I just don't have the time or inconsistent team. The casual game modes is where majority of the player base is that will always be the case. It's also where the bulk of 2Ks money comes from other than people who just would be considered wells. Right we need something to combat zens. Moving them from comp is not the answer. It's almost like putting a very cheap Band-Aid on a really large wound. It helps but it does not solve the problem.
I would consider myself a casual player, playing a few hours a day most of the time. I have a guard build that was built with a 78 3pt and 68 mid. I have been shooting what I consider a good average percentage for a shooter in 42% from 3s. I personally love how the shooting is in 2K25. People complain about the shooting because they don't hit every open shot, which The best of the best in the NBA do not hit every single open shot. The entire game so far is so much more fluid, and realistic than past 2ks have been. I really hope 2k does not cater to the community and add a bunch of patches to make shooting easy again like they did in 2K25. Please 🙏 let the complainers keep complaining and give us time, and people will realize this is actually good for 2k. Thw only thing that needs fixed is the lane steals for sure. Keep up the good work Badge 💪
I remember a time when game developers released a game, and you played it as it was. You couldn't complain and expect to have things changed to your liking. You either learned to play the game well or stopped playing because you weren't good at it. Developers should not give in to unreasonable demands. This generation seems to complain about everything.
I feel like this continues to decrease the quality of gameplay at the release of the game because the gaming company can just edit how the game is played. New game releases are damn near a trial run, and then they go from there to try and fix issues.
For sure rhythm shooting is the better alternative imo….ive played my eras on superstar and hof difficulty and when using rhythm shooting I make “ALOT” of lucky bounces and backboard shots…I can’t go back to shooting the traditional way anymore because I get more love rhythm shooting
I feel like the main problem is the stupid catch/dribble pick up animations that change the shot timing. I suck and I’m a casual but I shoot like 50% in the rec I think it’s just the shooting animations you get even after coming to a stop.
Mike Wang and Ronnie are just deluded they think people buy 2k to play a realistic version. We buy it to get nasty at shooting and posters. Last year only the elite were shooting 60-70% from 3 not everyone. What skill gap is there in a purely rng based game where zens are still existing
@@asapjrobgaming5197 that’s a excuse cause they don’t know the best way to battle zens right now. It’s a game if people are mad that I hit wide open 3 guard it.

!!!! & ppl fail to realize latency is way more important it been like that & I been saying this since maybe 2k16 or 17
whats the point of even timing your release of a jumpshot if RNG will make you miss anyways, literally makes no sense, nothing you say could convince me otherwise. Stop glazing a game that gets worse year after year for the last 7 years
I swear people are so delusional defending ts like bro it’s a video game if you can time your shot you should be able to make every wide open shot no reason for the green window to move punishing people for knowing how to shoot is outrageous 2k is already ass at being a simulation game no reason to try to make up for that with shooting
Shutup and play what yo dumbass payed for
The issue with your stance is you’re talking about timing your shot. The green window isn’t timing based this year, it’s based on a visual cue. If you can’t understand that and continue to shoot off “I know my timing” don’t be surprised when the shooting feels inconsistent.
@@AdrianSimmonsJr.it’s kinda gay tho.
@@AdrianSimmonsJr. but thats stupid dude, why should i be punished this year for knowing my jumpshot by changing the timing on the green window, thats literally punishing players that are good at the game because they know how to time a jumpshot, your arguement is dumb and has no logic. Changing the timing of the green window is literally making comp players casual which is stupid.
I just want to know why shooting is always being messed with. This has been going on since Mike Wang came onboard back in 2k16... If you want consistent shooting, it's simple, fire Mike Wang..
Last night I played a dude who had no badges dropped 18 shooting perfectly. Playing at night is people full of zens. On top of that they have no steal, yet they steal every driving layup/ dunk. Shit crazy bruh
He did have badges🤦🏾♂️ even 60 ovr have some badges. And you can strip anyone going for layups with 25 steal if you time it right. That needs to be patched
Yeah he had bronze badges brother. But he only had a 76 3. I played great defense yet he shot over me. Another thing is that how I can’t get an on ball steal with a 91 steal on a 50 ball handle build. But they can rip me off with a 25 steal, even tho I have 95 ball control 🤦🏿♂️😂😂
@@Youngfarmerrryea bro it’s stupid. ion think the guy was cheating because i was playing with a slasher with a 65 3pt shooting pretty well
That steal on attempts to drive to the rim is crazy, you don't even have to press anything lmao. I haven't even touched my steal but I do have a 92 perimeter defense. I get them often when trailing the ball handler.
2k promoting zens gone get tired of not being able too shoot
Don’t change the shooting. Just take the RNG out of it. That’s crazy that it would even be in the game.
it's probably too integral to the game. like too many animations based on the shot timing that will have to be removed from the code. its not that easy to just take it out
@@Flyhr but it is though they did it for 2k24 but they ended up making it too easy I don’t want the same for 25 I want to be hard just not RNG.
The problem from what I see(cause I don’t have 25’) isn’t the shooting, it’s the RNG. If that was taken out and it was based on timing and contest, it would be better. RNG should never be implemented into sports games. Madden got the same issues with random Inaccurates.
Until 2k gets an anti cheat to combat zens, they will continue these dumb practices to try and get them out(which clearly hasn’t worked).
Im not a fan of releasing my jumpshot in the same place but 2k moves my green window every time.
That passing lane steal at 2:35 needs to go away shit looks ridiculous 🤦🏾
definitely, should need an extremely high steal and agility to get something like that
Exactly. That's my main issue with the game and my main build is a lock 😂 I'm fine with shooting

@@jpvert5511cause they don’t have to people gone buy regardless of what they do
22 was peak tbh defense and shooting made so much sense that year
Fuck no bums shouldn’t make whites every shot
let’s be honest with the elephant in the room…DEFENSE is the key staple that needs to be helped…In the NBA…IRL… when you see true shooting percentages…the reason why you see a great perimeter shooter shoot from the low to mid 40%s from the field is because of what?…Defense!!…you don’t see them taking wide open shots as much because there’s always a hand within 1 foot of them and by any chance they do get open is from a defense breakdown when it doesn’t happen often…It’s fair defense play is when shooting percentags are decent…now 2k on the other hand…defense is nonexistent let’s be honest…it isn’t the shooting…never been the shooting…they make it so to replicate IRL which we all know is bs…2K needs to time and work to balance defense to keep up with offense to make a decent gameplay along with a true green window based on skill!!!!…c’mon man that shooting RNG bs is all “smoke and mirrors” to hide that downside to 2k which they been struggling for years!!!!…and I’m surprise no one didn’t see that
Finally someone with a Brain whi actually watches basketball tired of dumbasses saying realism when majority of shots nba players take are contested not open or wide open like most players in 2k
Yeah it’s so dumb I could understand not getting consistent shots while being guarded but missing a ton on WIDE threes it’s just crazy especially when some people have better shooting than Steph who will go like 92/100 on wide open shots
Everybody defense is trash because they have to spend all attributes on shooting just to hit open shots. 2k was fine how it was in 2k17. Every year after that they fucked it over so bad people started cheating like it's normal
@@jaccbolton17 was terrible bro brick wall was worse then than it is rn, and it’s BAD rn
Dude….Steph shoots like 40% on wide open 3s in games.
Ronnie is acting like this is a reality based game. It’s no way you got 5’9 guards running around dunking either. If your open and due to poor defense and time you shot right you should be able to hit the shot. I can understand fades, contested, and shots that are forced but wide open misses to a player with a high 3pt that is timing it is crazy
I like the shooting. Soon as the other team shoots I just run the other way for a dunk 😂
Key message here lowering 3pt % emphasizes better basketball. There is no reason to take a 2 when it’s easy to average 70% from three. 2K24 everyone averaged +60%. It was common to see people go 12/12 from three. It made the game boring.
All these dudes do is spam steals and shoot threes. 2k shouldn’t touch shooting, it’s not fun watching people hunt for threes and even make contested shots.
@@mblackman1170it’s not fun when everyone is a slasher either. This game is top tier dogshit. The animations are fucking horrible.
I don't even mind the shooting, it's how my players turn into cones while playing defense. Dennis Rodman would never stop running for a block, the realism is trash.
Honestly beginning to feel like about 90% of the community just can’t time their shooting and expect to just throw on any jumpshot and be green.

Remember when Wang tweeted back at 2k24's launch? He said he "...wanted the shooting AVERAGES to be a little more realistic" 😏😏😏
That is how it should be
Realistic ?? Nobody Is going to play to shoot about 30 percent and have a 90 plus 3 pointer and people pay 75 minimum for this game
I feel like elite players should be able to shoot mid to high 60’s, maybe 70 for the cream of the crop

@@mimijay5563 it was bro. then everyone cried and they patched shooting like 5 times and by the end of the game everyone was shooting crazy
They should’ve made the green windows smaller and kept green machine in as a badge that’ll significantly widen your window for consecutive greens, that way those who sacrifice for the gold-legend green machine could hit 4-7 shots in a row after finding their timing at the end of the day it is a video game all this realism is killing it, especially considering we’re already using real money to try to even compete with other good players
Why should they make green windows smaller so one badge can dominate the game???

@@Dan-f5ystupid ahh comment bro
LISTEN UP EVERYONE! When it comes to rhythm shooting, you all keep thinking you have to come to a complete stop?!? You dont! Shoot like normal while using the stick but just add a extra motion of flicking the stick up with the motion of the shot! So if you wanted to do a fadeaway to the left while going towards the base line, you would flick the stick down to the left and then with the motion of the shot, flick it up to the right quickly. Its hard to put into words but just pull back on the stick whenever you would normally press "shoot button" and follow the motion of the shot that follows. This is how I do all my fades and I am shooting about 71% in the rec on a 83 3pt. (at park)
Imagine paying money for a build and you can’t even make open shots and when you play good defense it says open 😂 I’m so glad I didn’t bought 2K this year.
You're asking why doesn't 2K tell us the exact benefit or effect we get from different badge levels and other game mechanics? Bro, it's because they literally have no idea what half of the stuff does when they put it in. They just wait until we all play and complain. Then they patch it. Usually with an over-correction.
2k really think they can change shit without us knowing like we don’t feel the difference
randomly adding 150ms of holding the square button does not add a skill gap as there’s a such thing as muscle memory which is hard to overcome.
Shooting is fine now tho come on guys ya doing the most ! Find a base , the game is mean for you to adjust . Just find a decent base
I didn’t spend 75$ to be limited to a set amount of bases where’s the diversity if I have to use a certain base I should be able to hit if I time my shot correctly no matter the base
I like how I can lock up the screen screen players, they can’t quick stop and shoot as effectively as a comp player

It sounds like a lot of people thought they'll be HIM this year and isn't HIM due to the fact of not making adjustments, just wanting the easy way out like every yr and then branding themselves comp 😂 I've been tired of the same gameplay that's been ran for many years just people exploiting the game everybody with the same builds and so called cheese moved playing the exact same way with the other 2 players sitting in corner on punishment watching one man dribble the air out the ball and calling that comp. The cry babies are making 2k soft. I remember when PGs used to guard PGs builds was so different, I respect what 2k is doing in 25 we need a brand new community
So with that being said…
After making 3 straight 3s 2K forces you to change your style of play basically. Here’s the thing let’s say I’ve been left wide open at the 3 point line on my fourth shot attempt. So 2k says you’re gonna miss and you have no control over it. That’s a wild situation especially if it was in a game point scenario. You miss that game winning shot just cuz 2k wants you to “change your style of play” like what!!?? If I lose the game on top of that, oh yeah this game is getting uninstalled

Mannn I swear bro each year every new 2k It makes me miss the previous year bro 😭😭😂😂🤷♂️
I have never been able to shoot well in online modes , until this year. If you just put in some effort and do all the little maintenance things to keep your player playing at their peak potential ( hot spots , gatorade drills , boosts, practice your shot) you will hit shots if you are taking good ones
Does 2k even play the game that they make?..🤦🏽♂️
“keeping it realistic” when NBA players most of the time are taking contested shots lmao. Have you seen these professionals shoot wide open shots or shots with space in general? They don’t miss. Isn’t our MyPlayer the next goat in the NBA? So then why is it that we’re missing WIDE open shots 7/10 times. It’s literally insane to me.
30 minute vid is crazyyy
Shooting doesnt need to be patched, just take out the RNG and the green window moving around randomly and its fine.
Exactly, but these cry babies about to force 2k to ruin a good game. These dudes spam 3s too much instead of just playing basketball.

@@Majdogwhat’s your shooting pct
Mike Wang has it right. The 1. Option is the best option and the one that will produce games that look/feel as close to a real basketball game as possible. Just like in the NBA, some players can’t shoot jumpshots well enough to be taking them often. Yet those players still find a place on NBA teams, how is that? Oh that’s right they understand there’s more aspects to the game than shooting, and they focus on being better in other areas to make up for their lack of a jumpshot. Does the builder force you up your 3pt/Mid range rating? So if casuals can’t shoot, guess what their solution is? Make a build that’s focus isn’t shooting. This is why I’m loving the new 2k, because it’s finally exposing people who have no business playing the position they keep trying to play, and the game is better off without those people ruining no squads lobbies for people that don’t have an entire group of friends that play (most people). If you can’t shoot well enough to shoot 40%+ from 3 and 50%+ FG then make a build that specializes in defense and inside scoring, or quit. I’ll take a quality playerbase of people who don’t throw games over a slightly larger playerbase with millions of monkeys that take the PG/SG positions and avg less than 4 assists per game on less than 50% FG
Lets go RNG 25 is a great game😢
With the shooting being this inconsistent and the lane steals being this OP 2-3 zone is so difficult to break this year. Also, the match making is forcing me to have to lock in to every rec game like it’s game 7 of the finals. 2K really needs to stop changing the game so drastically every single year.
I don’t understand this community. Supposedly the game rigged it so you can only hit 2 shots back to back, then 3 shots, now it’s up to 5? Sounds like people are just getting better at shooting as time goes on. How are people able to logically jump to the belief that they have been perfect since day 1 and some secret patch is the reason they’re getting better or worse results… community is full of professional victims

13:27 hell no wtf. I literally should be able to time every shot.. anything other than that is basically the game having a code that's rigging the game. How can you learn to time something that isn't consistent? There was already a bunch of factors that effected your timing during any given shot that made it harder. In theory, on former 2ks from a few years back, yes you could green everything but nobody was doing that so you can't justify this move. Ppl aren't even hitting their whites.

Started at 78 three ball on my swing. Shot 40% and made an 83 three ball on my lock and shot 15/18 from the three my first rec game with 51 points. I have a lot of mixed emotions about this!
For me i think the cue is pretty consistent. I dont want them to change a thing, or else its 5’10 guards shooting limitless fades all over
Don’t change it. If the animation is consistent with the release point, then you just gotta find a jumper and stick with it. I think I found mine after spending countless hours in mycourt microadjusting jumpers.
Honestly 2k can do whatever the hell they want, any update they want or even any patch. JUST BE TRANSPARENT! We shouldn’t have to guess the game we’re playing, or have 3rd party communities to tell us things we should know on launch.
This is the first 2K that i have played like i was really playing basketball while feeling affective. I dont feel like i have to spam screens with little guards and shoot 50 3s a game to keep up. The dribbling is more realistic. I wish there was more of a stamina penalty for excessive handling a sprinting that doesnt go away because possession changed too
I really hope they don't touch the game 😢 I work hard to pay my bills and play this game but I'm figuring it out 😁
I agree with you on getting rid of the RNG. However, getting rid of the RNG or getting rid the wonky constantly changing release point IS patching shooting. I know it's pedantic, I know nothing else would be getting changed, but that is literally what a patch is.
All this realism but they don’t talk about the fact that IRL good defense is played. Most the shots nba players taking would be considered lightly contested not open. Nba players in this age of basketball rarely miss open, PLAY BETTER DEFENSE!!
Imagine if in real life we have RNG. There will be no perfect rack in the NBA 3 point contest. What a stupid algorithm.
They should not buff shooting. They just remove RNG and fix the shot contest system(every contested shot says open). The players need to adjust and stop spamming 3s. They do need to patch steals and loose ball awareness(the offensive player almost always get loose balls back), it’s ridiculous.
As a 7ft center I shouldn’t have to jump on a 6’3 or under to get a contest or a stop interior has to be fixed

There's a reason for "comp" game modes, not every game in park or theatre needs to be sweaty, makes game exhausting to play
In reference to the current debate around shooting in NBA 2K25, I believe the difficulty is both yes and no. For casual players-especially those who have been playing the game for years and are used to easily shooting above 60% without much effort-the new mechanics may feel more challenging. This shift can be frustrating if you’re not putting in the time to refine your skills.
The game is fine I’m a casual shooting 38% from three some games I shoot 75% from 3 just gotta focus on your timing and take better shots
I'm with you badge plugs thank you for using your platform to speak up for the community. You're right I don't play a lot of comp this year I just don't have the time or inconsistent team. The casual game modes is where majority of the player base is that will always be the case. It's also where the bulk of 2Ks money comes from other than people who just would be considered wells. Right we need something to combat zens. Moving them from comp is not the answer. It's almost like putting a very cheap Band-Aid on a really large wound. It helps but it does not solve the problem.
I would consider myself a casual player, playing a few hours a day most of the time. I have a guard build that was built with a 78 3pt and 68 mid. I have been shooting what I consider a good average percentage for a shooter in 42% from 3s. I personally love how the shooting is in 2K25. People complain about the shooting because they don't hit every open shot, which The best of the best in the NBA do not hit every single open shot. The entire game so far is so much more fluid, and realistic than past 2ks have been. I really hope 2k does not cater to the community and add a bunch of patches to make shooting easy again like they did in 2K25. Please 🙏 let the complainers keep complaining and give us time, and people will realize this is actually good for 2k. Thw only thing that needs fixed is the lane steals for sure. Keep up the good work Badge 💪
I remember a time when game developers released a game, and you played it as it was. You couldn't complain and expect to have things changed to your liking. You either learned to play the game well or stopped playing because you weren't good at it. Developers should not give in to unreasonable demands. This generation seems to complain about everything.
I feel like this continues to decrease the quality of gameplay at the release of the game because the gaming company can just edit how the game is played. New game releases are damn near a trial run, and then they go from there to try and fix issues.
For sure rhythm shooting is the better alternative imo….ive played my eras on superstar and hof difficulty and when using rhythm shooting I make “ALOT” of lucky bounces and backboard shots…I can’t go back to shooting the traditional way anymore because I get more love rhythm shooting
Those teleportation steals remind me of the 2k15 strip steals
I feel like the main problem is the stupid catch/dribble pick up animations that change the shot timing.
I suck and I’m a casual but I shoot like 50% in the rec I think it’s just the shooting animations you get even after coming to a stop.
Mike Wang and Ronnie are just deluded they think people buy 2k to play a realistic version. We buy it to get nasty at shooting and posters. Last year only the elite were shooting 60-70% from 3 not everyone. What skill gap is there in a purely rng based game where zens are still existing
4:40 it went over ronnie’s head completely 💀💀
Ong😂
I was like he just ignored bro saying it was video game 😂
Nah it didnt. Yall ignoring Ronnies point. They want this to be realistic. Not making every wide open
@@asapjrobgaming5197 that’s a excuse cause they don’t know the best way to battle zens right now. It’s a game if people are mad that I hit wide open 3 guard it. They need to fix contest not shooting, if I can rim run 24 secs of a game and do the same thing then run out and put up a 3 and cash, then wide open 3s shouldn’t be a problem
If they don’t change it, atleast bring back the regular shot meters. Cause idk wtf they thought they were doing with these new ones
