They should've just made it possible to get a perfect release every time unless you are contested or late contested (without Dead Eye). 2k simply overestimated player's ability to get a perfect release often.

I kind of like the way it is. There are times in real life when as soon as you let it go, you know it's in. I think getting the green sort of replicates that feeling. Anything that gets closer to the actual feeling of a shot in real life.

Agreed Poop, That's the one thing I do miss about the meter after turning it off....seeing that green flash and knowing it's money, lol

You don't have to turn the meter off to do that. Just watch the animation during the shot, and glance at the meter afterwards to see how close you got. It seems like people are treating the meter like it's a different shooting mode. It's just a way of giving you feedback on how close you were to getting a perfect release. Watch the shot animation, and use the feedback from the meter to help you dial in the release point.

A friend of mines spams threes with the meter. He continually pulls up from about 3 or 4 feet behind the arc.
