It would make the game way more competitive and realistic if you added an actual shot contesting system. Right now, defense doesn’t really affect the shooter — someone can be right in their face and it still doesn’t change the chance of the shot going in.
Here’s what I’m suggesting:
Add defensive contesting so if a defender is close or jumping, it affects the shot’s success rate.
Show a “Contested: xx%” label when someone takes a shot, depending on how close and well-timed the defense was.
Similar to how 2K or RB World handles contests (open, lightly contested, heavily contested, smothered).
This would reward better defense and stop people from making 3s in your face with no penalty. It’d also make the green window more skill-based. 👍
