2K Games drops a new update that will set a distinction between the good and bad shooters in "NBA 2K17."

According to reports, the update was released after the gaming community expressed their disappointments over the shooter's situation after the release of the patch 1.12 update back in April 7.

The shooting update was confirmed by "NBA 2K" gameplay director Mike Wang through a series of Twitter posts.

Based on Wang's post, the changes brought by the shooting update are simple. If the players are good in shooting, the update will help them get better shooting accuracy. But if they are not considered good shooters in the first place, it would be harder for them to shoot.

Wang also revealed that determining who among the players will get a shooting ability boost will not be complicated, since those who already possess a shooting rating close to 99 will bet the bigger boost. On the other hand, those with shooting ratings that will be less than 70 will get the negative effects of the update.

This means those who have the ability the shoot from the three-point line will have better accuracy rate, while those who have low shooting percentage will find themselves missing more shots.

Meanwhile, other reports claim that the new shooting update will be one of the last tweaks to be introduced by the game developer since the current NBA season is almost over. This could mean that the game developer will soon come out with the next installment of the best-selling basketball simulation video game that will be called the "NBA 2K18."

The successor of the "NBA 2K17" is expected to be announced during Sony's presentation at the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo. (E3) 2017 in June, but it could also make its debut on Nintendo Switch.
