    Re: Are Three-Pointers Overpowered in NBA 2K17?

    I think threes are accurately powered for the most part. I do think that some players that shouldn't make ANY make way too many. But other than that, it makes sense.

    I think the problem is that every other method of scoring, as well as the defense in some areas are inconsistently powered. The spacing just doesn't accommodate other ways to score the ball. It's too cluttered to have a good off the dribble mid-range game like DeRozan, or dominate in Iso drives like Kyrie. Even post scoring seems like it's been nerfed since launch.. It's this problem that makes 3 point shooters much more valuable because they excel at the only type of offensive skill set this game seems to accommodate.

    The defense also pick and chooses when to be effective. Like 3's wouldn't seem so deadly if they weren't always so wide open due to nonsensical defenders.

      I'm a cpu v cpu player, and believe it or not, my ben simmon hit can hit 33% 3 point by only changing his jumpshot signature to:

      Quick, release 27, base kobe

          YES.

          Players with D and F grades are hitting at a high clip. Can you imagine the higher grades?

          Shots off screens are even more OP.

            It's not serious enough for a particular player to stick out in my mind, but it does happen from time to time. But like you said, I definitely notice the makes more than I do the misses.

            Im averaging 9/25 and shooting 37%.

            My opponents are shooting 8/22 at 35% (I felt this was a little low in terms of opponent 3s attempted. But it's literally spot on).

            Ive just gone through box scores from the past 46 games. I have edited my roster to account for players' 3 pt accuracy and volume. These are the outliers.

            Frankly, my mind has overstated the issue. I thought bad guys were nailing them; they arent.

            In fact, I'd like more outliers now.

            Lin 3/5, then 3/6. Chris McCullogh hit one, Rodney Stuckey hit one. Tyreke Evans went 3/5. Jokic hit 3 on me. Tyreke hit another 3/5 on me. Mudiay went 4/12. Gay went 3/4. I remember Aaron Gordon nailing a pull up 3.

              There are currently 37 players, in the real NBA, shooting 40 % or above from 3. (at this point in the season)

              Players nowadays are shooting and making more 3 pointers than ever.

              The question is do we want 2k to mimic the real life 3point shooting or to have its own reality?

              UPDATE: Ok, not more than ever. I went back to 1995 and the league was still lighting it up

                Of course they are.
                They're overpowered in the game because they're overpowered in real life.

                2015-16 league average 2pFG%: 49.1%
                Points per shot attempt: 0.982

                2015-16 league average 3pFG%: 35.4%
                Points per shot attempt: 1.062

                Threes are worth more.
                There's no point in shooting anything else. Ever.

                    This is the answer to your problem!!
                    Court is bigger in real life. My only proof is the United Center, i didn't find other proof in other court but i'm sure for this court there is a small difference. And this small difference is huge for the Gameplay.
                    The bulls logo is not at the same area, it is more far (further) from the paint in real life but the distance between the 3 pt lign and the logo is the same. How can you explain it?







                    i'm sorry Michael because i'm always criticizing 2k games, even if you are in the game, but it is truth, there is a big problem of size court!!

                          Offline vs CPU:


                          I have my CPU 3PT Success slider at 40, yet the CPU still hits them at a high clip.


                          Any recommendations on a good slider?

                            They're "overpowered" in the sense that sagging off bad shooters isn't a viable tactic. The game gives too much of a boost for simply "being open", so you'll see Westbrook etc. drain a disproportionately high amount of 3's.

                            Add in the stacking effect of badges like Dimer, Catch and Shoot, Corner Specialist, Pick and Roll Maestro, Pick and Popper etc etc. and you get a far too high percentage of 3's being made, especially online when every build can get every badge (even bronze makes a big difference).

                            Someone having the timing down perfect for the shooting form is just another extra boost, too.

                            So yes, they are overpowered.

                              More than ever is still accurate. I think 1995 is when they moved the 3 point line in so percentages went up for a couple years.

                                On HOF human vs human the 3's feel about right to me.
                                On HOF vs CPU I don't think the CPU make enough open shots. Ju
