The execution feels better, but I'm holding my final opinion until I get the entire game.

MY feeling too on shooting. I like the idea, and what Ive seen with the Prelude, and I think anyone who uses Shot Stick has to be encouraged by what its felt like in the Prelude.

Obviously there will be some out there that dont like it, and I can just see the people now saying Im doing it right and pulling in a straight direction, yet I can hit a thing,lol.

Its definitely harder, but I like the challenge, and feeling that my input is impactful. Players shooting ability is still the prominent factor as it should be, but I like feeling that my input is involved some, and why Ive never been a fan of real fg%, or just pushing a button to shoot.

Yea I like using real fg% personally. That way, the attributes are 100% in effect instead of me manipulating the shot.

Speaking as a person who is strictly a button shooter the shooting didn't feel a whole lot different in my time in 2ku than it did with 2k16. The execution does feel a bit better but I can't tell a big difference. I'm relieved though, because I thought that button shooting may have gotten some type of penalty to try to force people to use the stick. That doesn't appear to be the case.

The animations make it feel much more fluid. I'm worried the shot stick boost will be unfair boosts for no real reason.

Honestly for years, I only used Square to shoot for years, only used stick for shooting off the dribble. This year I use stick 60% of the time and always get green arrows. Only problem is it takes a minute to get used to the meter.
