    Yeah Rob, I was a GS user in one of your leagues. I actually hit a buzzer beating game winner using the aim mechanic. It sucks that the option is no longer there for people like myself who enjoyed using it.

      Shot aiming was broken on ps4 on hook shots.

      It could trigger both consistent finisher and pro touch at the same time.

      Consistent would take care of the release while pro touch takes care of aiming.

      Couples with hotzone hunter and deep hooks, you needed to get blocked in order to miss.

      Same on standing lay ups.

      For a big its pretty much a must to use it.

On next, I was pretty routinely at or above 50% from 3 on competitive online sliders (and would routinely outshoot my timing counterparts), above league average in the MyNBA I was in and the user I spoke about previously who won the league with it was tops in the league in 3 point shooting.

        Aiming was very different on next

          Come on Shellz. You know I remember you and knew who you were. That is why I commented. You were the best shot aimer of all of us. You brought the splash brothers into real life. It is a shame that they got rid of aiming. I don’t know how we are supposed to make semi-contested, and off the dribble move threes anymore. Hopefully, weak shot contest aren’t overpowered like the old days.

          I liked the ability to just raise up and shoot over a smaller/weaker defender. You balling in 2k22. You and I need to find a league to take us in. Ha. That buzzer beater you hit is on my top 2k moments of all time.

            Exactly. Shot aiming really opened up shot creativity. You could really duplicate guys who make their living scoring off the bounce. It's something we had been asking for, for a long time.

                I know that aiming ins't coming back. But is shot arc coming back? Where the arc on your jumper is determined by the speed you move the stick down on your shot.

                  Happy as hell, here. For now, at least.

                  Absolutely loved the way the game played over the years prior to 2k21 - hold the stick any direction = jump shot, runners, floaters, shots off the dribble. My muscle memory has been tuned to this for years.

                  RP% on and learn the players releases and spots on the floor instead of relying on mini game meters.

                  Best news I've heard in a while, personally.

                    Releases don't matter with RP%

                    The input for runners and floaters remained the same, lol

                    Sounds like the actual effect of aiming was on the minimal side for your particular playstyle

                    Either way, it's gone now

                      Disappointing news.


                      The problem involved people with modded controllers, no?


                      Just get rid of automatic, 100% makes and we're good.

                        The aiming system nerfed the overall use of the stick for those of us who chose to not have it switched on. You only had the option of holding down on the stick, as opposed to having all directions being used as previous entries - that's my point. I wanted to be able to hold the stick in any direction to instigate a shot, instead of being forced into using just the down direction. It hindered things for me. Didn't feel organic, despite trying to get on board with it.

                        As I said, I'm glad 2K ditched 2k21's shooting mechanics this year. Best thing I've heard, in regards to gameplay for the last couple of years, personally. That particular innovation was a bust in my eyes.

                          I just don't get why any of this necessitates its removal entirely. Further, and I'll say it again, there was a huuuge majority who wanted its removal who wouldn't have even known about these issues you were having. Why not give them the chance to accommodate a reversion to older controls while leaving the mechanic (which was by no means a bust and worked fantastically for those who used it consistently, particularly on Next Gen) rather than hoping and praying it's gone so we can dance on its grave?

                            It's absolutely dreadful that shot aiming has been removed.

                            Let me show you guys what we lost with shot aim being taken out.





                            Yeah, you won't be able to do ANY of those moves anymore. All that offensive creativity is now lost because people don't wanna give up shooting with the button...

                              Was with you when you mentioned this before. I'm cool with them keeping it as an option, just as they should've kept in the option for us in 2K21 to play with the reverted scheme from the last several years in the series.

                              More options for people, the better. Just as I think it was a bust, there's plenty of you who loved it - with more on the table, we'd all have a chance of getting what we wanted.

                              Dude, I can do 95% of those things on the sticks in 2k20 without shot aiming. Not that I'd be dribbling like that using MJ, mind you. Guy could kill you off one bounce and a pull up, but I digress.

                                2K most likely makes these decisions to remove aiming feature based off surveys of users using the feature. Shot aiming on next gen was really nice once you took time to learn how to use it. It felt better shooting with aiming to me even with the extra trigger tap. Once you learned aiming to me you had an advantage over a non-aiming player. Taking out aiming allows them to not have an additional control method to test/model/program etc. which is cost to their eyes.
