    Am i missing something here? I can't make a jumpshot to save my life.

    I am a long time 2k player that used to play Live back in the day (mid 90's). After playing the demo I picked up live on the 360. I am a Lakers fan so I am using the Lakers. I am playing on All pro, and used to be pretty good on 2k on the hardest setting.

    I have played probably 15 games trying to get better but I just can't figure out for the life of me figure out how to make a jump shot. If I am on the court prior to a game starting with nobody covering me I can make the shots with kobe at least all day long.

    if I am in a game I can't make a shot to save my life. I throw the ball inside to Gasol or Bynum and draw the double team and kick the ball out to the open man and every time they miss the shot no matter how close they are. I try releasing the ball at different points in the person's shot and 70% of the time I miss.

    The most frustrating is Kobe. I know for a fact that I am releasing at the right height and every time I miss. It is so frustrating. I am playing the hawks and just getting owned. I am missing these wide open shots and they are hitting 3 pointers just double teamed like it's nothing.

    I have tried playing on normal and i still can't make shots but can drive to the hoop all day long. I have read the manual and just can't figure it out. Am I missing something?

    Are you using the turbo button? I don't use it when I'm shooting. I've been better with jumpers than the inside game.

      I have tried with and without turbo. I have tried at the peak of the jumps and at different heights, nothing seems to work.

      I can't even describe how frustrating it is to be losing the the Atlanta Hawks by 20. This is when you are setting up beautiful wide open shots by either driving the lane with Kobe or drawing the double team with Bynum or Gasol and kicking the ball out to Fisher or Odom and they are missing shots inside and outside the 3 point line. The worst is when you get the double teams with Gasol and kick the ball out to a wide open Kobe and he misses the jumper.

      Again I am looking for any help anyone can give.
