Nem o cara que criou as conquistas tem elas!

Well, I did it. On LS courts, with max stamina and muscle, no fat, used all the movement tech, and with 2 misses in the late game I managed to get the last points as the timer reached 0. This is something else...

bullshit achievement

RetroWave 18 Oct 2024 23:17

This achievement made me hate this game, I spent 3 days trying and something always went wrong. in 1 attempt I was missing 2 points and out of nowhere the police arrived and ran over me, taking me away from the red point😠

Can't you get this achievement just by dunking the ball?

Mellybyte 22 Nov 2024 20:00

should be marked as missable since saving at Mad Dogg Crib makes basket ball no longer spawns anywhere

JimmyGremlin 23 Nov 2024 03:15

After years, and years, and years, I never knew you could dunk in this game..

everything they say up there is fake i literally press and release the button perfectly but still cant do a point

Does high luck level helps in this?

WeskerHunk 6 Dec 2024 20:51

@apereira28 Nope, to this day there has been no concrete proof that the luck stat does anything. It seems to just be a value that was intended to have a use (likely in casinos), but was likely never programmed into anything and no one actually bothered taking it out of the game properly, even with all the revisions.

btw for folks who don't know, you can use GTASnP to bug-proof your save, and even more importantly to bring back the basketballs if you did already encounter the bug.

@rvreq thanks for the advice, works perfectly

so I have downloaded reWASD software, and I have mapped my A button on the controler.
the idea is that when you click on your A button, the software read it and convert it to click+hold for 650ms, which is the perfect timing that you need for the throw to go into the basket EVERY time.
so after loading the macro, I did the achievement on my first try, 63 points easily

here is helpful screenshot from the software that I used:

Finally, after multiple chokes on near 60, I managed to get 68. Took around 4 hours of practice for me.
@vikdarkbomb's tips are all helpful but I really liked @portweinshow tip about watching the feet. It was an immense help. In the end I felt that keeping rhythm and muscle memory were the things that won me this.

Something about this just clicked with me lol. l enjoyed it

This one took me almost a full day, but I learnt many valuable things re. the technique.

Firstly, if you are using PCSX2 set a macro for X to repeat every 40frames.

Regardless of the macro because it is not full proof, similar to my friend @Bejn, I COMPLETED this in LV as I could never score over 45 in LS.

Don't focus on CJ's feet, or jump height, but think of his body/torso moving from South (facing camera looking at you) to North (facing hoop ring). You want to position him near the marker circle. Release any command on the left stick, and immediately press X as he begins to rotate from South to North (shooting for the ring). Do not move left stick. Once the ball looks clear to go in immediately press X and CJ will charge quickly to pick up the ball, smoothly release X once he is near so that he doesn't dunk or overrun.

For the marker circles that are on a far left or right angle to the ring; if the marker is to the left, be as further left of the marker as you can be, same goes if it's to the right, be to the right. If the marker is to the right but you are even just a little bit too left the ball tends to miss.

After a lot of practice this got to the point where I wasn't even watching the ball, I was following a chain of patterns and movements with CJ. Also when he is approaching the marker circle just before he arrives to it release the left stick. You want the animation chain to be clear - no dribbling -
before taking the shot. For the sake of speed (especially in LV where there are obstacles such as benches or fences) you don't need to be exactly within the circle - if anything try and be a little more North on it to decrease your time reobtaining the ball.

This challenge went from feeling impossible, to becoming very much possible.

And as my friend @RobbieD3King encouraged me; relax, and enter a flow state.

I hope these remarks can help you! <3

theflyingfox98 7 Jan 2025 12:08

One last thing that I forgot to mention is, in the in-game settings, under display, change your mini map to show blips only; this really helps you track the animations better with CJ's body and gives a full view. Also, try to always know where your next marker is when you're going to retrieve the ball. This can help save precious seconds.

O jeito é conseguir com algum software igual o mano falou ali, ter que apertar o X por 650ms é muita precisão. Eu mesmo já tentei umas 15 vezes na quadra de LV e consegui no máximo 33. Vou baixar o software e habilitar essa conquista. Não queria fazer isso, mas conquista safada assim não tenho escolha

WeskerHunk 10 Jan 2025 23:06

@GambiT013 Não é tão preciso assim. 650 ms deve apenas estar dentro do alcance aceitado para a bola entrar na cesta, mas não é como se precisasse ser exatamente 650 ms. Eu de jeito nenhum tenho essa precisão toda e consegui com um certo esforço, mas ainda bem menos do que foi necessário para conseguir o máximo de pontos no Kickstart. O segredo para mim estava em observar as animações do CJ e aprender qual é o melhor ponto para soltar o X baseado nisso. Sem isso eu provavelmente também não teria nem chegado perto de conseguir, mas com isso não achei tão horrível. Foi difícil, mas tem troféus de minigames que pedem coisas bem mais mirabolantes, como o que eu mencionei do Kickstart e o da galeria de tiro do Bully. Claro, essas coisas são bem subjetivas, mas neste caso simplesmente há bem menos fatores para levar em conta do que os que eu mencionei, me pareceu menos complexo. Pelo menos essa foi minha impressão

theflyingfox98 10 Jan 2025 23:31

Completely agree with you @weskerhunk 650ms helps with the macro timing but knowing CJ’s animations are just as important and useful. This challenge is a really satisfying one in that it demands you understand the animation and apply yourself too. A macro helped me but definitely wasn’t the only thing that got me across the line.

This achievement was a pain in the ass, I had no choice but to use the save state unfortunately
