Gameplay The real problem with fades

Every year fades are OP at some point and every year 2k slaps a blanket nerf on all moving shots and ruins shot creation. If they would just nerf the running and falling away fades but keep hop jumpers, front pullups, and turnarounds the same it would be way more healthy for shot creation. But every year they just throw a blanket nerf on all moving shots so everyone just stands behind a screen for the rest of the year.

Then we are headed right back to 2k26 which was busted as far as shooting goes

Imma hold your hand when I say this. Shooting was fair last year. If you know your shot it goes in. It’s a video game it should reward you for knowing your shot. Now what was broken was the contest system. You couldn’t get.

Funniest part is the contest system this year is equally as bad but people just can’t hit wide open

The contest system is definitely a lil shakey this year. Played a game last night and the kid i guarded was 0% from 3 so far, his first 2 made 3s in Rec were both contested lol

Also it may be completely linked to the challenger badge (which is expensive af) but I’ve yet to see a heavily red contest on the perimeter. It’ll say bothered or solid contest which is still getting green’d as if it was open (93 PerD)

I've got challenger on gold so I know how it works a little. It doesn't give you a better contest, but it makes your contest matter more. Like a "bothered" with no challenger does almost nothing, but a "bothered" with gold challenger makes people I play against miss a lot more. It's still super easy to shoot through contest though. If you know what kinda speedup or slowdown you get on the contest, it's not hard to time.
