It would be cool if they did do something like this. What you are talking about is a modifier of ratings based off what is happening in the game real time, almost like what Dynamic Player Performance should or could be in Madden this year. We do have options already in the game to up the difficulty of the FT with sliders or stick to % based but I wouldn't mind something like what you mentioned because I want to be somewhat in control of everything.

If they can't do something to what you said I would prefer a combination of shot stick timing and % based. By that I mean even if you have a perfect release you still could miss a few the way it is for shooting a jumper. This way it will be hard to have Dwight Howard as a 90% FT shooter say if he has a FT rating number that makes it hard for him to reach that high.

yea u got it exactly right about what i was going for there.....that way shooting FT from memory is a little more off on the difficult side and more focus on a human input that requires just a bit more attention and focus

Not sure if this was posted but Mike Wang said 2k12 will have walk up animation back.

I actually spent a better part of this morning working on a timing/real % hybrid system very similar to what you're suggesting and I like it a lot. The meter was interesting but I think would've been met with mixed reviews.

Hey Beluba, congrats for all the effort and results you have added to the saga. Can we expect some work and improvement on accessories, team color customizations, and shoe variety and quality for this year?As I said before, thx so much 4 ur work!

ey Mike maybe you can have the meter as an option...i have always played with real free throw % as i have no patience to learn everyones release point...

Beluba,


Cool I hope the hybrid system makes it in the game especially for all the shot stick people like myself. I think it will be the best of both worlds rewards players for knowing the exact release point for each player but still keeps a portion of the success rate in line with the ratings of the player.
