Am I the only one having probs with 3pt shooting?

[dave374]

I love the game, but my 3 point shooting is horrible. I have gone games 0/12, 0/8 ... using good 3 point shooters. Any tips?

TAKE GOOD SHOTS! Don't just force up a three just to shoot a three .. You have to be somewhat open, or have an EXCELLENT three point shooter in order to hit the shot. If you are wide open,and STILL can't hit a shot, I suggest adjusting some sliders ..

Yes you most definately have to take good shots. You can't just run up to the line and wing it up there. There are many things that you could do:

1. Drive and dish - Go to the hoop with someone and when you hit the lane pass it to someone on the wing for a 3 from the corner.

2. Go low and kick it out - Same concept as the Drive and dish only your going to a big man in the low post and when the double team comes kick it out to the 3 point line and shoot.

3. Ball movement - use your icons and pass it around, use some of the shot clock and find the open man for a 3.

Also you have to really develop your shooting touch. You most definately need to release the ball at the right moment. Hope that helps and good luck.

Another good tip is fake the shot, and when your defender jumps, you can get a good look. You then either have a good chance at hitting the three, or you can lean into the shot and potentially get 3 free throws.

The Best tip of them all is to USE THE PICK.... Give the ball to your 3pt shooter stand in the triple threat position... Call for the Pick and Roll, and one of your big men will come and set the pick.. Then move your 3 pt shooter to set up the pick, this will force the big man who is gaurding your big man to play the ball, this is where you need to be patient and the Big man gaurding you will eventually try to run back to his man to get his team out of the mismatch, and before your man can get back to you, you will have about 3 seconds to shoot a wide open three and bury it...
