Completely agree with both of you. Last year I had a really good time on PNO.

But as a sim player, I didn't like how little impact ratings had in shooting %.
I remember a game vs the '96 Bulls. The guy was spamming post spin moves with Jordan and Pippen so I decided to double off of Rodman, who had like a 50 3pt rating. Well, he greened two straight 3s in the last minute and finished with 3/4 3pt. I lost the game.
User timing should be a factor, but ratings and shot quality should be important as well.
Basketball is about creating quality shots for players with different scoring abilities. A shot that might be high quality for Jokic it might not be for Curry, or viceversa.
Greening being so easy takes the strategic aspect out of the game.
