      Why the hell would anyone use the shot stick instead of the button for shooting?
      In principle if you practice and master it you will get rewarded... but anyway I hate to be concrentrated in a bar instead of enjoiying the beauty of the game and its shoointg animations... my first thing with the full game will be to disable all shooting indicators... I would like to shoot with the stick... but without aiming and release based on animations, like in older 2ks... and hopefully that mode will have some boost also...

          I may have missed something, but can we turn the new shot system off and revert to the standard shot stick shooting from 2K20 and previous games?

          I'm a stick user and don't want to be forced into using the button just because of their wonky new system.

          I'm not looking to pull of a shoryuken here, I just wan't to shoot a damn jumper. Learning player's releases should be sufficient enough.

            Same here. I want to shoot with the stick but I don't feel like constantly making sure the stick is centered so my shots go in and not brick off the left or right side of the backboard.

            I know it is a video game and not real life but NBA players don't generally have issues with their shooting form to the point where their elbows, hands or wrists are slightly, or badly off to the right or left when they shoot.

            I don't know what 2K was going for here beside forcing people away from the stick?

              It is that time of year again. Definitely a game play year from the guys at 2k. the AI has been enhanced. Slow the game down. Play sim and it will be a good year.

                Doesn't really seem like much has changed? Not a fan of the shot stick aiming thing, but I can get used to it I guess. Still don't look like they removed the green light flashing on perfect releases either smh. Idk...I may just wait it out till the next gen version drops.

                  shoryuken haha.

                  i wonder if they got with some pro’s when they came up with this idea.

                  also kawhi gets this weird step back animation where he kicks both his feet back lol..they cant even get the sigs of superstars right.

                      Played 1 game. Sticking with 2k20 until the next gen version drops.

                        This could be just me but I don’t like the shooting in the last few years games. It seems like unless it’s a green it’s not going in. That’s for me the user and the CPU with the regular teams. The all time lakers we’re making everything on me

                          Yh i'm feeling the same way. At least on next gen, it should be a bit of a different and likely better gameplay experience, considering what they can do with the tech on the new consoles. And on top of that, we all know it's going to look better.

                              It's for the bucks clippers and all time Lakers Celtics teams quick game part. I haven't tried myplayer yet.

                                Broadcast users how is the new shot stick aiming on that angle? I'm not liking what I'm reading that we're forced to aim since I play with no indicators as well.
