I Just Can't Stop Scoring trophy help

[A_Tennis_Giraffe]

Hi, I'm currently trying to finish up on NBA 2K20 (I'm about 3/4 of the way through the first season) and I've got most of the MyCareer trophies now. However I'm having some major problems with the ones relating to 3pt scoring. My player is an 85 overall and I've maxed out my 3pt shooting stat at 77. And I still just can't seem to hit anything. I also have gold Range Extender badge equipped. Is 77 for 3pt shooting just too low to be able to make 15 in a match? And/or would there be any other badges that might be useful for these trophies. Also, is there a good jump shot animation that I could maybe equip that would make shooting 3s more consistent or easier? I never get green release, even if I'm wide open as in no one even in my half of the court. 

 

Would really appreciate some advice/tips that could help me. Thanks in advance!

Hey mate, 

 

Have you tried applying any 3-point boosts? setting the quarter length to 12 minutes and the game difficulty to pro?

first thing that comes to mind is to equip the corner specialist badge, go to corners and always call for a screen. in most cases you will be left wide open because of the dumb AI.

 

or just start a new build with this trophy in mind. It's nearly impossible to get all mycareer trophies with a single build.

Hi, yes sorry, I forgot to mention all of that. I do have skill boosts on and play on pro with 12min quarters already ??

Thanks, I'll try corner specialist badge and see how I go with that. Would flexible release be useful maybe also? Uh, in regards to calling for a screen...how do I do that? I just thought the AI was useless and wondered why they never come and screen for me - I did not know I am meant to tell them to  

 

If all else fails I guess I'll have to try a new build - I made a 6'6 SF with mostly defence ability, followed by shooting so I could try get most trophies (which I have), but 77 3pt might not be good enough. Or rather, maybe I am not good enough with a stat that low because I can't make many shots from anywhere on the court in this game ?

If you pick a SF, you can pretty easily get all MyCareer trophies with one build.  He can do steaks or blocks.  And I used a slasher/driver so not ideal for 3-point shooting but if he is open, he will bury them. 

 

@A_Tennis_GiraffeI don’t have a lot of tips but try not to shoot contested shots.  Shoot some in fast breaks but it sounds like you are already doing that.  77 should be plenty high as I am not a great shooter either.  I did not bother with badges (that I remember) or calling for screens.
 

Just realize the first 5-10 three’s are easier than the last 5 as they really start to cover and double team you then.  Your % will go down later in the game but keep chucking!

77 is good enough.  With a boost it goes up in the 80s.  Check out YouTube for good jump shots.  Every one is different, though.  I love Klay Thompson jump shot.  For my player, I have a three level scorer with a 3 point takeover.  To make your life easier, get the ball around the wing and call for a quick isolation.  After you call for quick iso, have your pg or sg (whichever opponent is weaker defensively) set a pick.  The computer will usually attempt to go underneath the screen and that should leave you open a bit to get an open shot.  If needed, I can make a video for you on how to do it.  Just ask me if you need help.  I'm probably the person to ask....

I got this trophy by making a new Shooting only build and put enough VC into 3 point shooting to get it to 80 or so. also make sure you play on 12 minute quarters and on pro.  Play till you can call for the ball and then always run to the sideline 3, call for a screen then when the AI sags shoot. It took me 17 games to get the trophy

Thanks everyone for all of the tips and advice  I will give all these things a go and see how I get on. If all else fails I will try a new build. I played a match today and I got 7 which is my best so far, but I was probably too conservative in the 1st quarter because I get annoyed when I start getting penalised on my team grade and losing fans for missing so many shots. I put volume shooter badge on the other day and this actually seems to help a bit? I can't alter my badges for now until I max out the bar again though.

 

And I'll try some different jump shots I think too. I think I have Kemba Walker's equipped at the moment so I'll try out Klay Thompson's and maybe Steph Curry. My player tends to generally be all off balance or something when I try shooting 3s and does this stupid thing where he hops on 1 leg and falls backwards into the stands. Even on fast breaks when I try stop at the 3pt line and shoot he seems to be all over the damn place, body weight falling sideways or backwards.

 

And as for it getting harder the more points you score, that's the other issue I do have is my defender is literally always grabbing and holding my arm. And when I try to run away it's like he's actually glued to me or something. It seems really ridiculous in 2k20 because I didn't seem to have this problem in 2k19. I'll try this screen and isolation thing though, because, although I try not to shoot if they're right in my face I tend to find it hard to get much room at all 99% of the time. 

 

(Also I'm pretty bad at these NBA games - if you ever have to play with me in the park I am truly sorry for my uselessness ). Thanks again for all these tips, I feel a bit more positive now that I might be able to get these trophies done!

 

*Edit* I just got the trophy today! Thanks so much everyone for the help, I really appreciate it! In the end I used my existing SF and changed my jump shot to Klay Thompson's. I think just this alone made quite a difference, because I was able to green release probably 5 or so, whereas before I couldn't get even 1. It still wasn't pretty, my team grade finished as D and I went 15-55 from 3pt attempts, but oh well, I got it done in the final minute of the match and now I can go back to "playing properly", haha! Now, if only I could just get those 5 blocks...??
