Re: shooting

Definitely the shot stick. Much easier and makes me feel more in control

do you use the analog in any particular direction?

Re: shooting

It’s funny that you asked about direction. I didn’t think about it until now. But what I usually do. For quick releases I pull down on the stick…but for guys I know that need a little bit more hold on their releases. I push the right stick to right or left. It’s really weird that you asked. I didn’t think about it until now

Re: shooting

My thumb is so used of pressing X to shoot that I can't get used to the shot stick. Unless I am dunking the ball.

yea cuz i remember last year on here someone post a tip saying that if you hold down on the analog you get better shooting. for some reason i cant shoot this year. last year i went up to all star and did pretty well. now this year i cant get pass pro. i tried practice and of course in practice i make it in. i get in the game my shooting precentages is 45% with any team and then the computer is like shooting at 80 lol lol.

Always the shot stick.

Re: shooting

I'm starting to get the hang of the shot stick. I always used it for jump shots and only dunks and drives to the hoop. But, with the leaners, drifters, etc... I'm getting better with it.

Re: shooting

i mostly end up using it on accident tho

I think your problem is with timing. With this year everyone sig shot being so much more quicker. You have to release it a little early than usually. I been shooting in the high 70's-80's....Low 40's-50's. Just give it a try.

Re: shooting

When I'm on a fast break and my opponent presses the charge button at the foul line, I press back on the shot stick and shoot a floater right over him.

Re: shooting

^^Na man....I think he just talking jump shots. Not floater or leaner.^^

Re: shooting

This might sound crazy but I've been applying the whole look at the rim technique when shooting the ball. Surprisingly I started draining shots from anywhere on the court when giving a good look at the rim. I've tried it with different players sig-shots and it stills works has anyone done this before???
