NBA 2K16's Latest Shooting Update Has Made 3-Pointers Too Easy in Pro-Am

[RaychelSnr]

While most of its consumers were asleep, Visual Concepts quietly installed a server-side update on Saturday morning that changed the success rate of 3-pointers in NBA 2K16's 2K Pro-Am mode. These adjustments have allowed users to achieve a perfect "green" release from various spots along the 3-point line.

Earlier this month, Gameplay Director Mike Wang revealed that a "green" release in NBA 2K16 multiplies your shot's success rate by two. So if you take a jumper that's graded with a 40 percent probability of going in, and your timing is perfect, that chance of scoring increases to 80 percent.

It's tough man . We're not here playing 12 minutes a quarter , having to deal with fatigue , stifling defense , adjustments etc ... So missing open shots constantly felt forced .

I see the other side too , no one should be shooting 80% on threes as a team every game .

If the game is going the realistic shooting route then other things like loose balls, blocking , passes in traffic need to be adjusted as well.

Damn, so you guys saying shooting was changed were definitely on to something. For the guys that play offline, has this affected play against the cpu?

Do whatever you want, just don't touch the midranges again. For the love of all that's holy, don't touch the midranges again.

It favors certain shot releases and makes ratings irrelevant. I dont like it at all.

Mike said the shooting was changed in every mode. I haven't played MyCareer in a few weeks but I am pretty sure the CPU 3 point shot might be going in more. I hope it's wrong though, CPU already made too many 3s beforehand.

I agree. Please leave the midranges alone. Period.

I just wish Mike will just settle w/ something. Soon as you get used to something it'll be changed again. Either change it back to what it was or just leave it this way instead of trying something else. I prefer the previous but it's whatever.

I mean 2K is always trying so hard to be realistic but besides the shooting, the gameplay as a whole is still fake. So just put the shooting back to how it was in 2k15 and let us get excellents from the 3pt line with 70 and up 3pt ratings.
How about next year for the Pro Am and Park stop allowing everybody to make Steph Currys and 90 and up 3pt ratings... Its not even necessary. In 2K15, you were perfectly capable of getting a green release with a 70 rated 3pt attribute as long as you were wide open. Keep it that way and worry about the other stuff in 2K because like I said, the game is fake.

Smh. It's wild they continue to mess with the mechanics of the game just because ppl complain. Who's been complaining about the 3s again? I just don't understand why they can't just leave well enough alone. It was actually pretty decent day 1. I haven't played in like 2 months but judging from things ppl are still saying shooting is too hard because they don't make every open shot. Then 2k changes percentages. It's just crazy man I don't really play anymore. It's like too much stuff changes from 1 week to the next and it's not fun.

Like if you start with a SG build him all the way up and are playing well and a patch comes out that makes him a little less effective than a PG it's going to ruin your whole experience because a few kids are not happy with their results. It's frustrating to play knowing that the things you succeed at will eventually be patched because ppl are losing to you. If you're cheesing they patch it and that's fine. But if you're just winning with strategy they patch it. If you don't make all your wide open shots, they patch it. Now you make too many contested shots. They patch it. Like come on man.

Somebody makes this post in the forum, same 4 guys would call them complainers, post it on main page, it becomes fact.

I think we were a tad more than... "on to something"

Well a few days ago when threads were popping up, it was just speculation with no confirmation. So yes, a few days ago, guys were onto something.

I knew it. I knew something was up. They did this last year and ruined my offline franchise and it's gonna happen again. Last year I still remember I was 33-30 before that terrible patch was released and then I finished the year off at 51-31, with ridiculous shooting percentages. Now this year I was 19-25 before Saturday. I've won my last 6 games. Something felt different. But I didn't see any patch downloaded as far as I could tell. But I guess it got snuck in there. Why? Again? You're gonna ruin my whole years worth of effort back to back years. That's so messed up. I want a challenge (already playing on hardest difficulty, not saying this to brag, I just like the challenge). I'll admit, it's not as bad as last year. Yet. But my 3 point % the past 6 games has gone up from about 35% to 45%. But it's enough to make a difference. Why could they just say they were gonna release this patch? I woulda kept my game disconnected from online so I could have avoided it. Now I'm screwed. Again. I'm never buying this game new again. I love bball, so I'm gonna get the best bball game out there, but I'm buying it used from now on. You ain't getting my money again after doing this to me 2 years in a row.

Yea... I need more playing time. But from the games I played. I don't use the release thing. I just use the timing. But I have notice I've been getting a lot of green releases. And more shots going down.

They tweaked the shooting again. It's no longer easy to get greens from 3-point range. It's much more rare but it can be done. Almost in between how it was a week ago and how it was over the weekend.
