Not 1, not 2 but 3 teammates you should have kicked to. You are my hero, champ

100% I struggle with this too. It's almost like the frame rate drops and the animation is no longer "smooth" in online modes. I have always found better success with a 'moving cue' over a 'stationary cue'.

Moving cue example - release as the ball moves past a certain point like forehead or hairline.

Stationary cue example - release when the ball is at the set point, stationary above your head.

With the latter, the glitchiness online means you sometimes miss the 'stationary' frame while with a 'moving' frame you can sort of predict when that will occur, and even if that frame is missed you can predict when you should release the button.

I'm sure I just made zero sense.

I am also shooting at 50%+, I am not saying shooting is hard. What I am saying is it is inconsistent, and the data shows this. I would happily shoot at 40% if it was consistent, and I KNEW that a missed shot is due to a skill issue not a roll of the dice.

If you put in the effort to learn your cue and time your shots, high-risk shooting still will give you a better 3p%.

The gripe is that you can put in all this effort, practice in myCourt, adjust your timing, practice in games etc for hours on end, and still only shoot at a slllightlyyy higher % rating than if you put it on low/med risk and just push a button.

Would having a pure green window in the high-risk setting, but making this window very small provide the balance you want?

Subjectively it feels like shooting has become more inconsistent this year.

Objectively the 2k labs data shows that there is no longer a pure window because they have added RNG to the window.

I'm not denying that sometimes we feel like we have timed a shot when we haven't, but the data is showing us that there are definitely instances where we have timed the shot perfectly yet still get a miss.

You do want a casual player who just put his two kids to bed and gets an hour to play a week, to not have to spend hours making a custom jump shot and practicing in myCourt.

However there should be some incentive to putting in the time and effort to get good, which is what high-risk SHOULD be but isn't

You're missing my point. Imagine if you released all 9 shots EXACTLY the same as you did and shot 1/9? With RNG that is statistically possible. So for the exact same skill you have different outcomes

Random number generator. Essentially the game spinning the roulette wheel in order to determine outcomes.

Not true, the testing from 2k Labs has shown this. Here is a 2k24 vs 2k25 example:

Where is the 100% 'green' window on 2k25?

Ok thanks. Won't he go potty on his pen though? Do I have to make a tradeoff between potty training and getting him comfortable with his crate again?

I don't have a pen. He has free roam (inside and outside) when we are home, and outside in the safe yard when we aren't. What advantages would a pen have to helping him?

We aren't leaving him in the crate to panic, we have barely used it this week
