[@johnwalton1656]

I shoot above 55% from 3 in all modes. My two suggestions are find the upper releases that gives the best visual cue and stick with it, only change the base from there. I'm using the same upper releases as last 2k because I'm used to it. Second tip is if you normally use 'push' timing move the slider up a little towards 'release'. Jumpshots are quicker this year so release timing is becoming more popular.

[@yessirrskiii9520]

Ngl they made it 10x harder to find good visual cues

[@DRandR1productionz]

I dont think its a pure green window this year like last year I feel like you can time your shot the exact same every single time and you'll only hit 7/10 shots the game randomly decides whether you miss because you greened it at the edge of the green window either side I think they done this to stop zens. I was shooting 80% on a 76 three pointer all 2k24 but I'm shooting 50% this year on an 86 three and I KNOW my timing and sometimes it'll just miss

[@BudSmokerzBeatz]

they did they added full whites back , people with the modded controllers said they have it set to make every shot and u can only make 8/10 . 2 of the shots are green but they say its a full bar and u miss

[@DRandR1productionz]

@@BudSmokerzBeatz yeah dont know how I feel about this yeah it stops zens but punishes and makes the game frustrating for legit players who put in time to learn they jumper I feel like if I practice my jumpshot and I green it every single time I should make every shot not randomly miss because the game decides I should I feel like a buff to shooting is coming

[@BudSmokerzBeatz]

@@DRandR1productionz yep i played 2k24 all year and shot 82% from 3 , now really the best i can do is 60% and to me 60% just feels like rng almost like flipping a coin if its gnna go in lol

[@DRandR1productionz]

@@BudSmokerzBeatz yup really annoying I think they also done this aside from stopping zens to force people to use rhythm shooting and go to shots the green windows in those seem far bigger and way easier to time

[@JustNate365]

Yea this. Time it perfect and some shots are as though you have no green window.

[@stefan_green]

Joe thank you bro. Community needed this bad!

[@CENTERKOBE]

The META is turn your Release speed down to a D+ or whatever your comfortable with cause RS is in the peak of your shot this year, Thank Me later you heard it from CENTER KOBE FIRST💯

[@SwaggplayzYT]

U serious

[@lRomez]

Remember when shooting was simple? Have your badges and take smart shots and it's going in.

[@seancoleman8183]

The bases are much quicker than dribble pull-ups, and the difference between release speeds is noticeable. My stand still is extremely quick while on 2/4 speed but my fades and hops are extremely slow in comparison.

[@DonDeLem]

Yeah, I've tried many different dribble pull-ups and don't really like any of them. Currently using Pro 2 bc it's the most similar to 2K24's Pro 2, but it's still much slower than the latter.

[@Godspeed726]

Having the same problem

[@KiloTango]

I have missed a lot of open layups this year I think high risk messes with it. These layup animations are so inconsistent I can’t green them

[@notiwavess]

High Risk is fine for offline but for online it just doesn't seem worth it given the latency issues, better going normal/low and giving yourself more of a chance when its impossible to time it perfect

[@RockstarTy]

I havent found a good release with a good visual cue yet, the slightly early and slightly late look so similar

[@TheThinkingMansTemplar]

Some of us are making bad customs shots. I just equipped Amir Coffey and i improved. Real jumpshots tend to more fluid and shot cues are usually easy to figure out. Coffey's elbow pops out for a split second before as soon as i see it thats my cue.

[@deuce765]

Timing stability really important this year too

[@davidbrinson6150]

Great point with looking for release cus. As you said when things are going to plan I feel like I can’t miss, but one little hitch or gather or even if I miss an open shot I start missing like crazy

Joe how do you feel about minimum wing span builds, making a 2-way sharp but I prefer the 99 3 which is why I chose minimum. I do get an 89 steal so I can hit 91 with my cap, but im keeping the wing span low for the max 3. If you could lmk that would be great
