Is it just me, or 2K made it harder for players to shoot from three? Even the AI can't, for a whole game (I play 10 mins/qtr), both teams are making only a total of 4-5 threes combined. Please tell me it isn't just me!
If you're using the simulation setting that's probably the issue. The 3pt success rate is 45 and for whatever reason it DRASTICALLY drops the 3pt percentages. Even if you have a high 3pt rating it drops your percentage by a ton.
Or try to control the stroke of your shooter. By pressing Stick up, down, left, right with a combination of left arrow or right arrow. Just tried that, and I think it works.
