IMO the shot stick is over rated, I always just used the button anyways. Maybe on a fast break if I wanna switch it up and pull off a left handed layup or something I'll use it.

Why the sad face?

Shot stick for shooting is just unnatural unless it's for a layup mechanic and if we had full user control in switching hands or extending longer by flipping the right stick left to right or something.

It works well for NHL because it makes sense in controlling the stick, and winding up for a slapshot is a natural motion to flick down and then up.

For shooting, it doesn't make sense. It will be better used for dribbling or layup moves, like to control what hands to use.

you're my twin...we posted at the same time, lol, and said similar things.

I basically agree. It's more of a gimmick if you ask me...unless it's for what we described.

People are so infatuated with anything involving the right stick...OMG NEXT GEN!!!!!

lol I loved shot stick. To me, pressing the button felt really unnatural while playing 2k. I never used the button.

Quick question, So what is the right analog used for ? I thought it would be used for size ups, but didn't they say you hold down a button, and move the left analog to command a size up move? so that leaves the right analog in mystery.
