Literally all 2k has to do is fix ghost contests and make contested shooting have consistent timing
@KevinCruz016

Yeah, the ghost contests are definitely still in the game, you just want to make sure that you identify when they're coming. I think they're getting close to solving that, but it's still a problem this year for sure!

100.. the ghost contest on my 6'4 is ridiculous. I could deal with it if it was just in the defenders favor and there was an adjustment factor. But it's not just that it's so inconsistent, I can take a jumpshot wide open and take the EXACT jumpshot very next possession and I get different release and it says 30 percent contest or something. Wide open to 30 percent on same shot isn't just inconsistent. That's straight broken

Yo man, relatively new to nba 2k but im curious to see if you play with a lot of latency like I am online? I know 2k is notorious for bad servers but your gameplay makes it seem like you dont have any latency but maybe im wrong? I play on an xbox one with an ethernet cable, good internet, and a wired controller. Any idea how I can remove this latency?

Blaq kobra made a video on this and it’s helped me start making contested shots consistently. Shot timing doesn’t change, just that the more contested a shot is, the shorter your green window is. You still have the same pure green window. You can practice this by going to a game mode with AI and intentionally shooting contested shots. Most people don’t know their actual perfect release they just get it somewhere within the 30-50 millisecond green window. Once you know your ACTUAL perfect release timing, contested shots are a lot easier to make. In the midrange I’m now pretty comfortable making 20% contested shots especially once green machine is activated. Just gotta shoot like the defender isn’t there

Bro am all for making 2k making the game harder. But every time 2k tries to make things difficult they take away one mechanic tht works and places in another one tht doesn’t. As far as the shooting in 2k24 everything is perfect inside of mycareer the games are hard and entertaining however the shooting is literally game breaking. I have no idea when to shoot and how to shoot and am not even a bum at the game. The dribbling everything is great but the shooting is so confusing WHYYYY?
