Winning a jump ball

[stizz]

Does anyone else struggle to win a jump ball (not the starting tip off)?

When's the right time to jump, cause it seems I'm either jumping way too late or I don't jump at all because I press it too early?

I know what you mean. What messes me up is the camera doesnt cut to regular camera until after you are supposed to press the button to get the tip. It shows the overhead view and cuts to the gameplay view in the middle of the tip.

I've one the jumpball only once so far. I've had some luck with the jumpballs when I have a forward against a guard.

I just tap triangle like a mad man and I win most of the time.

Tap Y button as soon as it leaves the refs hand, like on NBA Live 09. Don't wait for it to hit the top of the arc like before.

Hit the Y/Triangle button as soon as possible.

Everyone says its better to press the button this year

Last year I got used to using the shot stick and it makes it much harder to win the tips using it

Bingo. It does not even matter when you start. Just keep tapping Triangle(Y on 360) before the ref throws the the ball up.
