I have great connection but i dont trust the latency input online ..shot stick gives you a penalty for inaccuracy.

A lot of people feel like that...what team do you use? How is your outside shooting using the button?

I used the shot stick the 1st week after the game released. I couldn't get used to it so I went back to the button and I haven't missed a beat lol. It definitely is not worth it imo.

I can totally understand that. Over the holidays is when I play offline games. But watching my cousins shoot lights vs me (they were using the button). And they were making so many jumpers. It made me think why the **** am I using the stick if they are hitting shots all day. After that night it seriously made me consider using the button.

You can miss a green aim but you won't miss a green release so I go with the shot button.

You could get a 95-99% full white meter with a perfect aim and still miss so I don't see the value in using the stick.

The stick is way better. If you can learn to pull it down straight you have a big advantage. You can never miss left or right, only long or short.

I have 72 3pt on my point forward and I always make full white bars. The ball will hit short or long and bounce in. If your short starts off right or left it has no chance to go in.

If you pay attention to the full bar misses using the button, you'll notice they rattle left to right and out or right to left and out. That goes away with the stick.
