there any point shooting with stick?

[legendstatus]

I believe 2K wants us to use the shot stick aiming for mostly 3's along the perimeter or standing shots. It's suppose to add skill to hitting open shots and rewarding players for mastering it's system. Otherwise i'd stick to the shot button to hit shots off the dribble.

Here's some information from the 2K gameplay blog as well. It's a great read for those that haven't read it already.


"So for those competitive gamers who want to maximize their shooting percentages, my advice is to migrate to the Pro Stick for those long range bombs. That doesn’t mean that Pro Stick jump shooters automatically have an advantage over Shot Button users however. It’s a risk/reward mechanic in that you actually might be hurting your shooting percentages if you’re inconsistent with how you move the Pro Stick, especially on the higher difficulty levels"

I tried using the stick in my first few games but it got annoying. I'm back to the button now and i haven't missed a beat.

In certain situations, I would prefer if you could aim at a camera relative angle.

Especially after a dribble move on the side its feels more fluent that way or in the post with hooks and fadeaways.

I hope they are working on a fix for this. U also don't have on the fly defensive adjustments as well like stay home, shrink the floor etc. they have press and trap, full court etc.

another thing now is you're forced to have the shot meter turned on because of release timings on lay ups. which sucks, if you're like me and dont like having it turned on. i like timing shots myself and now its almost impossible to do that because in the corner of your eye theres the shot meter and its almost impossible not to look at it and use it inadvertently.

Man I love the shot stick now. Use it for all of my jumpers...feels rewarding knocking down shots, going on a hot streak with it.

I'm still not a huge fan of fades in the post with it though...
