Duncan Robinson Reacts To His NBA 2K22 Player Rating | The Long Shot

[@celticsfanization]

He’s right about the movement, can barely ever get him open in 2K

[@Michigan_dad]

He should be one of the players that can get open for shots.

[@jsmoove2194]

I think 2ks biggest problem is truly shooting off the dribble, if someone’s running around a screen the animation for the pass slows them down and they almost come to a stop automatically

[@m_js5709]

@@jsmoove2194 They need to create an animation where if you press shoot as the pass is on the way to a spot up or catch and shoot player, they go into their shooting animation immediately instead of slowing down. It's hard to simulate a fluid game like basketball but when you generate millions on millions per year you have no excuses with today's technology

[@tidianeba5664]

@@jsmoove2194 this the realest shit ever man !! You damn near can’t make a shot while running like Duncan does in real life or shoot off the dribble except for certain players like Steph

Literally all you can do is run pick and roll or call some type of play the only one for a down screen 3 pointer. It’s terrible for all the shooters and pretty much all players not stars.

Yeah it’s a bit strange that they’d have it spaced by 5s in the 3 point rating. Like 2 guys get high 90s and then the next best 3 are flat 90? Just shows how they turn the superstars in the game into cheat codes

[@RV1AND]

I feel like they gotta keep Klay where he was pre-injury for the most part until they get some sort of sample size to work from. If he comes out bricking everything I'd expect him to be lowered fairly quickly.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the intangibles rating in 2K literally doesn’t mean anything usually players with high intangible ratings are on the edge of a higher rating and they raise the intangibles so the overall number is higher if you made a player with 25 intangibles and 99 intangibles and every other stat was the same you would not feel any difference at all

He's right about the actual simulator of certain players play styles. They got duncan on 2k with a 45 shot tendency and a 60 spot up 3... I have to either download custom fixed rosters or take my own time to fix a broken game that's been like this for years 🤦😭

[@shavarickjames2620]

[@HueyPPLong]

Do they have a stat for off-ball speed? Cuz it makes sense that they can’t make a 3-pt specialist too fast because then he would immediately become good or at least serviceable at driving to the basket just because of the way the game works right?

[@marcogomez2736]

It shouldn't be imposible, actually is pretty much attainable to come up with a "fair" scaling system. You could select the players who are believed to be the best and worst at each category and assign them the highest and lowest score respectively. Then use an algorithm to calculate values in between. You could weight on that scale and the actual stats from the previous season, etc. But sometimes it seems 2K pretty much like ESPN has his favorites and his lest-roast-this-guy kinda players
