Can we Shoot and Pass the ball?
It's a legit question because every time I get on this game that I paid money for, my jump shot is different. I even put my meter back on to see what is happening, but the meter this year doesn't even look like the old ones where you can see the green window. Cheaters can still use this new meter, just bring back the old one so I can see what I'm doing. I play this game for 2 minutes and quit for 2 weeks because It's not even fun to have to guess what I'm doing on a game I've been playing since 2K16. I've never complained about shooting until this year. Even 2K23 shooting was decent compared to this year.
It's not even a skill issue at this point, because how df am I hitting "very tight" contested 3's, but missing wide open in the corner with no defenders within 10 ft of me?
Then it's not only me, I'll end up in a Rec game that looks like LA Fitness with a bunch of out of shape dads who can't even catch or throw a pass. How am I an NBA athlete in the starting line-up for The Lakers and I can't go into random Rec and catch the ball normally? They'll throw me the ball and 1 of these scenarios will happen
- It takes my MyPlayer a whole 3 seconds to gather himself while catching the ball that seems to weigh 100 lbs.
- The ball gets deflected by a defender that's not even looking towards the direction of the ball, they'll spam square, their wrist will deflect the pass and the ball magically lands in the hands of the opponent in the most perfect way.
- I catch the ball but because my "NBA AllStar MyPlayer" is so uncoordinated, he runs out of bounds struggling to find his balance.
I just want to be able to shoot the ball and pass the ball... Rec looks like a clown show with all these silly animations designed to let the other team catch up because of RNG.
