I just stopped playing bro. Investing in a shooting build to struggle shooting just isn’t fun. I work a 9-5 last thing I need is stress over a video game.
Same bro. Every year i make a sharp shot creator, this the first game I’m not elite at shooting at cause it’s just not consistent and makes no sense AT ALL.
Fax. They really sucked the fun out of this game. Shooting trash. No paint defense. Game speed slow and clunky. Contested shots keep going in. Ridiculous.
I feel you bro sometimes I feel like I have to be so precise to time a catch and shoot wide open shoot with a 94 three and purple zones , at that point I am not having fun playing the game and I also think this week they tweek something with shooting specifically with middy fades.
@alexandermeiering5216 I swear fam, its annoying because I was cooking before patch 2. It's as if they down graded certain builds defensive abilities + my loc was high perimeter smh 2k
Also I only have 1 build at the moment I have like 700k vc left and i truly don’t even want to make a another build cause is the same shit with all the other aspects of the game "meter dunk" "pass accuracy’s " "perimeter defense" everything feels so rng in the game at this moment even dribbling .
Game is so dead I can't even find games in Random Rec in EU servers anymore. 2K tried to add realism to shooting by having realistic shooting percentage that made the game way too complex for the casual fanbase
Man, i’m not even that good but i’m a purple plate on my 6’7 center build in europe. Yesterday it took me over 30 minutes to find a game in rec. during the day on A SATURDAY. The sbmm is too restrictive i think
@ idk I saw the game on sale I bought it my buddies,I played it since 2k18 but this is an all time low for me very slow paced, one dimensional, and it isn’t as fun and in addition to of course the long waiting times and other modes like the theater and park are pretty much dry cant find games regularly like I used too In previous versions. Especially year after year dribbling becomes way worse I don’t know why too.
Season one I I was shooting around 45 to 50% with a 80 3pt On my seven footer now I’m shooting around 38% shooting is so inconsistent no matter if you use Ry shooting which I was the button it doesn’t matter which one do you use? You can’t be consistent
I feel you man 2k sucked me back in and I made a new build. But it’s just not been fun enough bruv. Having so much more fun on black ops 6. Nice to not have to worry about buying VC. 2k’s dead
They ruined the rhythm shooting. A few weeks into the game I had mastered the rhythm shooting. Now the games telling me idk how to rhythm shoot. I shoot the best in proving grounds, the game is telling me idk how to shoot in the rec somehow.
@@anmroz6632 If you trying to rhythm shoot with a fast jump shot yeah its inconsistent im on a 6'10 shooting just fine but our jumpers slower so its easy to time
As a shooting big I feel you but they made it to where you gotta diversify your game and get a dunk or middy in and reset the algorithm… it sucks but it is what it is
This will happen to me one out of every 5 or 6 ish games where after i green my first two shots i all the sudden can't hit the next 3. Not to mention how bad these catch animations will be and completely fuck up my timing with rhythm shooting. Overall i am shooting much better in season 2 but there are those random games i cant stay consistent like ik i can
I just went 3 of 3 from downtown with an 80 3 ball. What I do is whenever I catch the ball..I take 1 or 2 seconds to gather first and stop moving then shoot. It's kinda like a reset
every tempo shot is “slightly fast” or “slightly late” and every button shot is “slightly late”, idk what they did but take me back to season 1 low key
I agree with everything everybody is saying. I was going to make a second build but the game is so broken season 2 that I moved on and started playing black ops 6 and I’m having fun playing a game again. Y’all should do the same, this game is not worth talking about
I hate it admit it but you right lol I literally crafted like 10 great builds over time knowing what attributes matters and badges matter but i still hesitant to spend money on a build cause how inconsistent this game is
They gotta make three Point attribute more taxing in the builder before they buff shooting everyone wants to be able to do everything with 100% efficiency can’t imagine being yall dad 😂
Is definitely not you but some games I shoot like Curry and then the very next game Im in a shooting slump im a sg most definitely shooting wide open. Is like the game stops you from getting a high shooting % so everything is balanced for them.
Was shooting 70% last year. Forced to get used to rhythm shooting and shot a good 51% on Season 1. They patched it and ever since the patch 3 weeks ago, I havent recovered. Still shooting bad.
Bro go eveyday, everyday go into the pro am arena and adjust the releases on your shot until you start greening . Just move the relases up and down ... If its saying slightly late in the proam then the shot is too fast, if it says slightly early then its too slow.... Now the reason you do this every morning is because 2K is changing the speeds on purpose to combat the zens ... But you have to do this everyday before you go to rec or the park .... Try it ....
Shooting feels generally easier to me, it could just be you had a game where your jumpers were starting earlier or late and it screwed you. I had games where I went 0/5 simply because I felt my game was just weirder than usual in terms of response - as if my releases had that Mikal Bridges itch
Someone said delete the shot and make it over. Idk. Ive been playing as a big. I was getting used to shooting and I can make back to back whites and no greens. I was greening before the patch.
Contest system was not good last season and still not good but it is what it is but the game is broken. We just have no where else to go for a good basketball game. Last season the people standing next to you getting contest was much worse as well
As far as contest and perimeter defense goes it pissed me off, mofos making shit where your player doing some harden animation where he barely tries. This season I can shoot, rhythm shooting tho, sadly I run with people who are stingy with their pass accuracy. Imagine you being the center and you got the highest . Half the time i got some maniac 2 steps away from me before i even get the ball. Shooting w square is hella inconsistent
It did initially but it feels like they did a ghost update. Just don't know when cause every time you get on the game you have to "return to the main menu for update"
One game I shoot lights out like 5/5 from 3 then next game I shoot like shit even though I know my damn release. This game is so inconsistent smfh. I don't understand why it does that. Rhythm shooting is really pissing me off ever since that patch update. And the shot contest in this game is terrible.
It sounds sad, but I've always been a terrible shooter and haven't ever really tried to learn, but this year I tried and was shooting 43% now I'm missing wide opens and it making me not even want to shoot anymore
If you can't shoot it's because you're too one-dimensional. It's a way for 2k to force you closer to the basket. What to do when you're bricking one: start using rhythm shooting to get back on track. Two get a layup or get closer to the rim. Three do a hopstep shot, four but not last because I'm pretty sure it's more ways to get out of a shooting slump but do a fade, in the midrange preferably.
100% agree. People don’t know real basketball lol they think because they have 99 3pt they have to come out here and never miss. Basketball is all about rhythm and flow, if you can’t find that then it’ll always be tough for you to score regardless
I’ve noticed that whenever I get my lethal my shooting feels so inconsistent. try not getting your lethals and see if that fixes it cause that worked for me
I have 80 3 on my big no lie after the patch I had to slow my jumpshot down now I'm greening again. I'll have a off game ever 3 to 5 games but for the most part I'm greening. Change your jumpshot speed. Slowing it down expands your green windows apparently 2ktutes tested it
Feel like you just have to mix it up on bigs make 2 mids, cut back door & dunk, hit a post fade, drop step, shot two 3s then go back to the mid range Cant just consistently shoot 3s every other play like we would do on a build with 90+ 3pt Feel like servers be more or less delay certain days Played on big for the first in like a week & a half Saturday I was so iffy from 3 & started passing open shots😂but Sunday I was running str8 to that 3pt line greening how🤷🏾♂️
You saying season ones contest system was good is wild everything was open no matter the contest I had a build with legend challenger and was getting “opens” shot in my face every game even with a hand up with perfect positioning the game itself is broken and inconsistent at the end of the day all this game is is an rng basketball game the game chooses everything for you and it’s completely out of your control in my opinion 24’s contest system was perfect and made sense hand down with positioning=open hand up with good positioning = red contest but 2k gotta mess with and tweak everything for no reason
@@willcfjackson5114it shouldn’t be fuck they mean we get a 70 percent increase for the stick shooting that’s dumb af all the shit wrong with this game and they spend at least 3 months tryna add rhythm shooting to the game smh

Oh boy am I struggling... And I used to be a great shooter. 😭
Just spent the last two 2ks shooting great off a cue. How did I all the sudden magically not know how to shoot off a cue.
I feel you bro sometimes I feel like I have to be so precise to time a catch and shoot wide open shoot with a 94 three and purple zones , at that point I am not having fun playing the game and I also think this week they tweek something with shooting specifically with middy fades.
I stopped playing I have 94 3 point and I can’t shoot anymore went from 77 percent to 43.5
I be getting randomly dragged , like 2k grabs an hold my myplaywr on defense
Thats definitely a thing
@alexandermeiering5216 I swear fam, its annoying because I was cooking before patch 2. It's as if they down graded certain builds defensive abilities + my loc was high perimeter smh 2k
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
That ish feels like my internet exploding or some 😭😭
Notice how u can’t turn down defense assist this year? Ik it’s still there🤢
I hate the rhythm and stick shooting🤦🏾♂️it wouldn’t surprise me in one of the future 2k’s, we’ll be using the D-pad to shoot🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
I love it has me shooting 70 % 😂 skill issue
@ highly doubt that
@@jokerkd8173I shot 77 percent 3pt before update now I’m 43.5 I stopped playing altogether
@@jokerkd8173 This is my first 2k in like 8 years and I'm shooting almost 65% on the 3 because of it

At this point, Mike is def to blame. Think he’s trying to turn 2k into real life basketball. Game feels slow and not fluid
I stg since 2k24 I feel like 2k plays on a algorithm eiether u got the good algorithm or the trash one it’s just that simple
hate the layup system this year...
I mean why would u keep just chucking it up tho does that build have low paint scoring?
sadly bro the inconsistency in shots with square just seems like their way to make u use rhythm shooting

I think its a trap with first slightly early , cause u might be in your green window, but still get a white
Bro they’ve killed this game with this season patch, game is dead till they patch it again
I love the shooting im shooting 65% rn off rhythm
Was shooting 48% from 3 pre patch which isn't insane, but how have I dropped to 40% borderline 39% when it's supposedly easier 💀
😂 feel you bro, my shooting is really bad this season. Others are having success, not sure what’s going on
I thought i was the only one who got nerfed😂
They ruined the rhythm shooting. A few weeks into the game I had mastered the rhythm shooting. Now the games telling me idk how to rhythm shoot. I shoot the best in proving grounds, the game is telling me idk how to shoot in the rec somehow.
Nah still shooting 70 % with rhythm shooting
@ right so I guess all the shooters agreeing w/ me, including steezo, one of the best shooters in every 2k, are just actually just bad shooters
I shot 77 percent before the fucked the rhythm shooting up, now I shoot 43.5 percent it’s dogshit with a 94 3 ball and hall of fame set point

Bro I was just saying the same shit. The shooting is so inconsistent. Missing wide opens and I don’t get it..
My problem is the exact opposite. Shooting has become so much easier and the contest system is much worse
Dunks are broke rn to, if you try to dunk wide open, you might miss 😖

😂🤣 actually a fair point ngl

I been missing wide open dunks on fast break dunks fulll stamina
Someone said delete the shot and make it over. Idk. Ive been playing as a big. I was getting used to shooting and I can make back to back whites and no greens. I was greening before the patch.
Tried but sadly, same result. Maybe I’m just bad at the game now lol and it’s time to move on
The game is completely broken off people crying about shooting that 1st patch was the discourse of how we got here now
Contest system was not good last season and still not good but it is what it is but the game is broken. We just have no where else to go for a good basketball game. Last season the people standing next to you getting contest was much worse as well

It’s the same with paint defence. Hands up contest was consistent in other 2ks but feels like it’s so random now
Just dropped 41 using only rhythm shooting. Y’all just don’t adjust it’s crazy.
41 ain’t shit
It’s just so inconsistent man. Some games I shoot lights out like 70-80% from three and then I’ll get a game where I can’t make a shot.
Huh? The concensus is that the patch made shooting easier..
Exactly lol
😂 2k community is soft bro everyone be crying I haven't noticed no shooting difference since launch cuz I been rhythm shooting since day 2 or 3
It did initially but it feels like they did a ghost update. Just don't know when cause every time you get on the game you have to "return to the main menu for update"

Edit: I think they forcing us to use boosts
Its not ramdom, its situational. The ones you missed were different contest and released early. Im shooting above 50% as a big. Feels fine to me
You a big bro you wouldn’t understand what us guards going through
@TVSteezy nvm bro!!! My bad. Just played and i was missin all over the place. They gotta just stick with something cos last patch i was good

Before season 2 I was hitting with a 45 3 ball now I can't hit with a 78
😂 I was hitting with a 74 and decided to make a stretch. Now I can’t hit on either builds consistently
That jumper is clean af for a big, mind putting me on?

Im convinced yall just cant shoot stop blaming 2k shoot 54% from 3 before patch 56% after..
You’re probably right
If I hit 2-3 in a row I’m going to miss 4 straight. Can’t have 2 great shooting games.

Yes bro I thought I was ass ngl but I guess it’s the game idk
So confusing lol
I agree button ---->
You got it twisted last season people were getting better contest with hands down
I knew it wasn’t just me this new patch is trash it got me playing like a bum
