The problem is the visual cue is not accurate at all. Go to the gym, get the cue timing perfect, the go to the park or rec and the same cue and now the cue is all wrong. The green windows r not accurate at all either

Bro i have the same problem. I go to the gym or art of shooting. Shoot perfect then go to my career or park or rec and brick. Got to a point i need a break from the game. 1 week later still finding a shot. I either get slighty early or late. I also feel like im timing the cue right but im not🤨

I hope 2k fixes the shot feedback and make it more accurate. Sometimes it says “slightly early” or “slightly late” but in reality it’s early or very early. In game, it’s hard to adjust to the feedback when it’s not accurate, causing us to go into a shooting slump. If they fix the feedback, I think it’ll be more beneficial

I’ll never get over 2k adding the timing visual cue. Before last year i was a green machine from 19-22. I don’t know why they would introduce this feature and not have a timing for the release. Ik it says release is an option but if you’re a 2k vet, you know you’re not releasing square when your player releases the ball the way it used to be

[@clyshawnj3]

This is a personal issue i guess, but it’s the main reason i can go 7\7 one game and 1/9 the next

[@eastsidepb8139]

​@clyshawnj3 You're wrong. They barely changed anything with jumpshots except make the green window smaller. Before you were able to time it within a larger green window. That has changed this year. And it's showing people they weren't as good as they thought they were. I'm shooting better in this 2k then I have in past.

[@clyshawnj3]

@@eastsidepb8139 how can you say they didn’t change anything about shooting before this year when the visual cue was added last year??

[@_dboy_]

I used as close as i could find to my jumper from last yr to get easily acclimated to the game. I was shooting 70% from 3 until 2 nights ago. Now im around 60% overall after just 10 rec games since that patch or whatever. Crazy. But I'll adapt.

Mt first two games in the rec i was shooting like 20% from 3😂🤦🏾‍♂️ my thirst game i chanved my cue to push and im starting to figurebit out now. Havnt shot under 60% since changing it.

[@JamesMiller69]

Man everyone in these comments is saying all the things i feel. Shot feedback is a total lie this year. People missing wide open greens. Random hitch animations on wide open spot ups. Timing is different from game mode to game mode, the gatorade gym is NOT accurate this year. Lag spikes. Badges not working. We are all 9 days in at this point and can't find a jumpshot or timing, BUT, every game i play in the rec everyone i play against greens EVERYTHING thats 20% contested or less. There has to be a setting or jumpshot creator detail we are missing. I shot 70% last year, which was apparently the hardest year in a decade to shoot on 2k. This game just isnt working man.

[@_dboy_]

That sucks. If you do what he says and just practice you'll get back. I went into a little slump too. Last year was the first year that I fully went no meter, stuck with the same jumper most of the year, paid attention to my hot zones, and go into a gym to practice for a bit every time I get on the game to get the timing of the day and my visual queue dialed in. Another thing that helps is playing the streetball challenges to get your hot zones. The games are quick and it helps you get badges and stuff too just like mycareer NBA games do. I also use push release timing which is similar to "late" from 2k23. Another thing that I'm not sure he mentioned that's really helped me in the past couple years is hardwiring my console to the router, buying a monitor instead of playing on a TV, plugging my controller into the console with the cord. It helps with the input lag of the Bluetooth controllers, gives you better Internet speeds to kill some lag, and the monitors have better frame rates than even the best TVs; which helps improve the visual delay. And if you can't do some of those things, or you try and still can't get right, you could always make an inside big man or a pure slasher/playmaker that excels in other areas and can still be helpful to a team and maybe be fun for you. Good luck man
