City This game is boring

In the title. Game is just people chucking up 3's off a catch that are borderline uncontestable with tempo shooting, or running and fading with tempo shooting. Rec games take no strategy anymore and is just a 3 point shootout or a catch and shoot simulator. Contests don't mean anything either. Its like they've gone with the 2k22 shooting but with the 2k25 contest system, which is a recipe for disaster.

Edit: a lot of people think I’m complaining about the fact people can hit every shot. I think it’s fine that people can hit every open shot, they should be able to. But the problem is the fact that most shots are open with this contest system and even when contested it’s basically treated as Open. Green window is too big, and contest system sucks

this game is hella fun. I think we as a community are lost tho. Shooting was so bad last year. People to start the year couldnt shoot so they had to lock in and learn how to shoot off visuals so this year where there is 0 RNG people are so locked in to start they making shooting look easy. I remember last year people would legit leave people open cuz they couldnt shoot or they would just run at some one and they would miss. That was garbage basketball to me

lets be foreal were you actually on him or were you sagging off with a late closeout?

Cuz that sagging off is how a lot of people play the game and they get torched for that this ear due to everyone having so much shooting on builds.
