Green release wasn't 100%, but it basically was. It was like 99.9%. The only time you'd miss, that I've seen, is the ball rolling around the rim and coming out.

Played a lot of games and it only happened once twice in practice mode.

I would actually really like if that were the case in 2K16. If I miss a green release, then so be it, but make it a miss animation that goes halfway down and rattles out, or bounces around on the rim and rolls off. At least give people the feeling that it almost went in.

I'd have to say, it was a little frustrating sometimes in past 2K's when you would shoot an open shot, get an "Excellent Release," and then proceed to shoot the ugliest brick you've ever seen in your life.

The end result was the same either way, it's a missed shot. But shooting such an ugly shot off of an excellent release felt like the game was giving you a big middle finger sometimes lol

I actually wish it was the latter but I get what you're saying but I didn't mind it. I remember in 2K11 shooting a open mid range perfectly and air balling it lol. But I loved how it was then.

Love this.

[tru11]

are green releases tied to a players rating or a players shooting animation?

IMO ratings did not seem to matter at all as long as you mastered the animation.

it seemed easier to shoot with guys with avg ratings but an easy animation compared to guys with good ratings but a more difficult animation to master.

Umm... What abt a defensive "knob"? Can you tune that without a patch? (sarcasm alert)

They might get me on board with this! If it's a mix of skill + attributes then count me in. Would feel much better online if this is the case.
