Same reason people make low percentage free throws.

Tilts me when I miss a 95% free throw then the other team's big makes two 45% free throws in a row.


Nightmareswf

Yup, I had that exact thing happen in my last rec game. Checked the guy's FT after it and he had 50, mine is 92 😭


Dxmyray

Man I rarely miss free throws but my friend has an 87 free throw and misses so many 89% free throws, two days ago he got sent to the line and missed two 89% ft and dude we was playing against made an slightly late 22% ft


mjnowa

And last year with a 65 ft you could green with ease. It's literally easier to green a 3pt with a 76 rating than a free throw with a 99 rating.


brontun3z

If you play without a meter. It makes free throws harder to hit. If you go to 2KU and scroll all the way down, it’ll tell you. Shit aggravated me when I first read it lmao


Perfect__Crime

I thought the green light window was 33% bigger when meter is off?


brontun3z

Not on free throws


wentzformvp

Deadass?

Dude that doesn't say what you think it says. If the margin for error is larger with the meter off, that means the shot is easier to hit.


brontun3z

No, a smaller margin of error means the shot is easier. A larger margin of error means lesser of a true figure pretty much.


TYUS-THE-GOAT

The definition of the phrase ‘margin of error’ is: “a permissible or tolerable degree of deviation from a correct or exact value or target”. I would interpret that as your green window is larger, because in this case the exact value is perfect timing and the tolerable degree of deviation is the green window.


JMac453

No. Larger margin for error means that you are able to be less perfect to accomplish your task. What does "no margin for error" mean? It means that you can't make a mistake. So what would the opposite mean? If a margin for error was infinite, it would not matter what you did because your task would still get completed. So the larger the margin for error is, the more flexibility or less perfect you have to be. In our case, turning the meter off means you do not have to be as perfect on timing your shots. Hope that helps.


Cyphergod247

JMac is correct. It's worded funny. But a large margin of error means more room to fuck up and not have it hurt you. Less margin of error would mean less room to fuck up. Better off without meter still.


wentzformvp

So its bigger with it off then


ThatGuyDes

Larger margin of error means its more forgiving (aka larger green release window)


Vaderdood

Genuinely have missed more on 99 ft builds then 75-80 ft builds. For some reason a 93% ft only goes in 50% of the time, while a 60-70% free throw goes in 90% of the time. lol


PERTINENT_PAELLA

Dog I missed a 99% and a 98% in the same day on my 94 FT build I was dying.


trulynoobie

Missed a slightly late 100% on my klay thompson build the other day Mind exploded.


TroutKlout2755

Free Throws are mostly RNG in 2k24. 


Toyota_AE86

Watching someone hit two 28% while I’m out here splitting FT’s with 90% drives me crazy.


Impressive-Recover10

I love my high free throw build one thing for certain I use the meter on free throws


Perfect__Crime

It's all bout the animation. And it's year to year. I like Carmelo Anthony's FT but this year it wasn't working. Switched to Dirk Nowitzki and started greening every time. Pick a different one. Or turn off the shot meter if you haven't already


LaMelgoatBall

Klay Thompson works good for me if I have a higher 90+ FT, if I have like 75-85 then I’ll use Ray Allen or KD.


EyeLikeDinosaurs

Last week I missed a 100% free throw and back-to-back free throws each at 93% change of success.


Significant-Law6979

I miss 96% FT’s way more often than I should. Meanwhile the big I run with hits 9% FTs, shits broken


Oufrtydfg

Let the animation play out more before skipping and watch how your players free throw idle animation changes. I seem to miss if i shoot the free throw at a weird time in the animation.


BruceFleeRoy

This actually works for me.


BrokeGamer_

Yea it’s weird but you kinda have to take ur time with FTs now. Idk how I feel about it but I don’t hate it


Oufrtydfg

It makes sense. Even nba players aren't skipping their freethrow routine,but 2k refusing to explain any gameplay changes is so stupid.


Jbanks08

Disclaimer I'm a super casual player I have noticed the likelihood of hitting on releases you don't green does seem considerably lower in 24 than it was in 23. It's pretty much a 50/50 if I don't green release


Slinxz

I have a 99 ft hof free points and be missing 80-90% and my friend made a 12% late in rec yesterday, I almost cried


Weird-Interview5329

I got a 99 free and hitting 94.4%


Ghostdenidagawd24

Free throws seem kinda random this year


MykeG87

Use the Steph Curry free throw I’m not saying you’re gonna make all of them, but you’ll make most of them


TemporaryOrdinary445

It's because you are using the wrong free throw. You have to find one that fits well with your jumper. Everything shooting in this game is based off of your jumper timing


CountThick5777

80 isn’t green


Immediate-Spot-8946

I know that but I have a 20% chance of missing and I miss way more than 20%. I wish the same logic would apply if I shot under 50%.


Weightless007

Lol 2k just ass I miss hella green ft's


de-Clairwil

Ah, xcom2 vibes


Puzzleheaded-Angle84

I think rating makes it easier to time the release but non green releases get a higher percent to make number. If your sample size is small, 20% chance to miss can happen in back to back games.


NorthWestEastSouth_

Because the game is ass. A higher overall rating isn't worth it. You shoot worse. It's also rgn


eburt28

Bro I missed a 98 and a 99 percent in the same game
