what exactly is the purpose of using "True %" on the shot options screen? i had been told this would make the timing of the shot meaningless, and it would be more tied to how open you were, the player you were using, etc.
but i use this style and i shoot even worse than i do with the other way! i was shooting like 12% with the bulls through 3 quarters and then turned it back to the other way and got it up to a "respectable" high 20's or something. it feels like the shots were horribly off, but again with the description basically saying just flip the stick and you don't have to worry about timing i was thinking i wouldn't have to care.
much like communism, its a good idea in theory

Agreed...forget that nonsense. The game is great right now.
ok they need a shot % option for online mode because this is getting ridiculous to play multiplayer, i have to calculate the lag latency to get a shot off on the right timing which is pathetic
shit! you can forget about hitting free throws correctly online wtf! come on, seriously...
if there was a shot % option for online then i wouldn't need to worry about the release of my shot, but when your playing online and you cant hit even the easiest open jumpers ( due to very late releases) it can get really annoying.
if they cant incorporate this simple option for online then at least make it so then when i release my shot perfectly on my screen send the information off as a perfect release.
this also goes hand in hand trying to guard some1, by the time the lag reacts for me to chase the point guard its too late, im leaving the open all the time because of the latency.
jeez.
BTW im absolutely loving this game beside this really bad fundamental error.

Man, the shooting in this is just off the freaking wall. I've got the icon thing turned on to see if my timing is correct, and I'm still missing a ton. I even had a few times where I was completely wide open, got the timing correct, and then even the announcers said something about everyone being surprised that a shot like that could miss. What in hell am I doing wrong.
Yeah, I might just quit this game. I'm about to throw the controller through the TV. I don't get what I'm doing wrong. I'm getting open shots and timing correctly, and everything, and NOTHING will fall. Layups don't fall worth a crap, and I may as well not attempt a mid range jumpshot and heaven forbid I attempt an open 3 with anyone at all. I'm playing a game right now as the bucks against the Hornets and I have a 32% field goal%, and I just can't figure out what the hell is going on.

difficulty level?
new to the series?
lower difficulty down to rookie/pro and give it a go--play to the tendencies (you can view this in the pause menu during a game) of your players.
i'd also recommend using the various practice modes to familiarize yourself with the vast number of controls.

I haven't really had much of an issue with the shooting yet. I think ranked is simulation and guys tend to be laggier on there. I played Smokey with sim settings a few times and nobody hit shots with regularity.
I was one of the first guys on here with my battle armor ready to go and my flag waving in there for to bring the charge back against 2k for the online bullshit we had for maybe a day or so but I've since backed off. Games with gaffers have been lag free and with the default settings (simulation = suitable for offline only) on it's felt really good.
Has anyone managed to get a great grasp of the PF position in this game yet online? I've admittedly only played two gaffers thus far but I haven't seen any PF's really go wild in this game yet. I think it has more to do with the better rotations, the better defense of the pick and roll and the inability to easily create scoring opportunities off of the triple threat position unlike in other games.

Too true. Played a few games teamed up with friends last night against the CPU. One of those friends was in NZ and, while the game seemed to be playing perfectly smooth, making a shot required us to basically release the stick as soon as the shot animation began. Seems like they should be handling the latency in a more transparent way.smik said:
But when I cross some of you guys over and turn you sideways and then step back and hit the 3, blowing your brains out of your head in the process, I want you all to know it was all me. With shot percentage on you would try to rationalize what you're seeing and say I was lucky.

let's play today. if anything, at least i can observe what you are doing wrong assuming if you're timing is spot on.RDreamer said:

Oh man I think the defense ratchets up considerably in the second half. I was tearing the Celtics apart in the first half and had 37 points at halftime, smooth sailing. Then in the 2nd half I was getting double and triple teamed and getting put on lock down it was crazy! I only ended up with 57 points! Going to try it again later tonight.

I doubt my timing is always spot on or even spot on a lot, since I'm new to 2k, but they really need to notify me better on what the fuck I'm doing wrong. I'm doing a lot better in this game I'm playing now, but I'm still getting a lot of green symbols up top indicating I timed it right, wide open shots that don't fall. Then the announcers rub it in saying that's the kind of shot you want and how could he miss that sort of thing. What am I supposed to think when that happens?
Christ, it just happened again. I had a beautiful pick and open shot for salmons at the free throw line, thing on top was green when I released, and it missed. Then the announcers said something about how amazing the pick was and how open he was.
Man, my TV's lucky it doesn't have a controller through it. I just lost to the Timberwolves because I missed 4 very much open shots in a row, all timed just fine according to the stupid thing on the screen, and threw a ball away because my guy didn't pass to the fucker with the circle under him for some reason.

well, im playing as the bulls in my single player association mode and here's what has happened:
game 1 vs. thunder: got my fucking ass kicked. i held them to something like 42% shooting, but i shot about 25%. this is with sliders set to "simulation". i could not hit anything
game 2 vs. pistons: complete difference. i shot about 45% and won the game. although, i still wasn't getting a lot of outside shots to drop, my % was up because i abused the shit out of the pistons with rose and they didn't rotate like the thunder did
game 3 vs. blazers: i quit after going down 15-2 :lol
still need more practice i guess

i recommend you start playing with league players, we usually play superstar/9mins/simulation slider(tweaked).RDreamer said:
that will, above anything else, help you get acclimated to league play.

I have found that there are still quite a bit of slider tweaks needed to be made within the "simulation" setting.
I'm playing 10 minute quarters, shooting mid 40% and having really competitive games.
I think I have a winning record right now. Maybe 7 and 5 or something like that. I have only lost to great teams but I have had trouble with crappy teams too. Can't sleep on anyone in this game.
I suggest changing the "Run Plays" slider in coaching settings up a bit. At least to the 3/4 point and then run plays when you need to get control of the pace.
If anyone wants to know what my sliders are I could list them. They are probably a good start.
Won my 3rd game 88 - 85 Golden State. Was never behind and always felt in control but near the end was missing 3 throws after the delibrate fouls. Got my firts alley ooop and there was great moment where the State were 5 behind in the last minute and currey just nailed an awesome 3 points after finding space. It just looked like it was from TV. Was awesome!! The last NBA game I really played extensivly was NBA2K1 on the Dreamcast. Man it's great to be back.

I get what you're saying, but it doesn't belong in a competitive league IMO. You're essentially removing a key human factor, and placing it in the CPUs hands. Wide open for a 3? Oh I'll let the CPU decide if this will go in or not, not me. I think real % is fine for Association and other SP modes...but not multiplayer.

Loving the Jordan Challenges too. I'm going in order and I'm on the 4th one (Bad Boy Pistons). Haven't had too much trouble yet. I'll say going from the JC's back to your regular squad is difficult at first because you realize that your guys aren't the god of basketball:lol

2K is not noob friendly. Stick with it man, it'll click eventually. If you're having that much trouble, go in and adjust the game sliders to your liking.

Pro gave me shit too for a few days but now I just do basically everything better. Smarter passes, shoot with open people and not someone in your face, use icons, run plays when teams try to make a run on me and lastly but maybe most important, use the new defensive scheme stuff.

What quarter length are you guys playing in the association?
I want to play with long enough quarters to get realistic stats for my team when I play their games but I think 12 minute quarters would produce too high a stat output.
Thx in advance.

Anyone else get terrible audio feedback when playing online on the PS3 version? I was playing with my friend tonight and the chat stuff was fine in the lobby, but the second it transitioned into the actual game it would make terrible electronic remix sounding stuff almost the whole time. It popped out of that for a few minutes total of the game, randomly, but for the most part it was horrible. And we were both hearing it.
