Last year, NBA 2k15 launched off with a very rocky start. Due to the newly implemented Mike Wang shot meter, fans were in a outrage. If you played on the Hall Of Fame difficulty, it was/still is nearly impossible to get a green(perfect) release and make shots. Now via Twitter, Mike Wang confirmed the return of the shot meter for NBA 2k16.
Check what Wang had to say about the “finely” retuned shot meter below.
There have been battles even internally over missed green releases, especially now that they’re so hard to get. I really think it’s an unsolvable problem. The best news I can give you is that our shots engineer has made just about every knob I use to tune shooting modifiable on the server side post release just like a roster update. So if there’s something the community isn’t happy with I can tweak the system and update your games without the need for a patch. So what happened with patch 4 last year will never happen again.
