Apparently, shot contests only register if the player you’re guarding is within four inches of your player’s height. Hedo is shooting straight over gilbert arenas in this video, and even jumping doesn’t affect the shot.
I can’t believe how badly 2k messed up the shot contest system this year. As if short players weren’t already useless enough, they go and give them an even greater disadvantage.
I honestly think this is the worst 2k gameplay wise. No variety in how top players compete. It’s all base 11 shooters hiding behind screens and playing the passing lanes on defense. Giannis at the 1 surrounded by 4 base 11 shooters is practically unguardable.
One thing to note is that on ambish’s qualifier stream he lost by continually trying to shoot over Chris Paul. Is there something to it, yeah. Is it 100%? No. Also play with friends isn’t a true barometer on contested shooting.
Didn’t even know this guy still made videos tbh. I remember him shedding real tears after losing to tjay and then still calling himself the king of myteam. Never payed attention to him after that
I could play defense and contest shots in 2k18. I could stop the blowby stuff, and even if I couldn’t, at least it was only two points. I find this base 11 shooting much harder to stop.
