    I have to say it is. I switched over from the shot stick to the X button a few weeks ago, and I already see major improvements. Though, I have used it before.

    If you find difficulty with the X button, then just go into Practice mode and start taking jump shots. That's all I did and I really did improve. Pick a team like the Pacers; Paul George has a beautiful shot which is easy to learn, while George Hill's shot is a little harder to master.

        I use both, I have several playing styles. But there's one specfic playing style where I'll only take control of the star and shoot for him using the shot stick. But then I'll use the button for shooting with the star's role player teammates to make the game feel more realistic and random by forcing me to score within the flow of an offense and rely on others. Sometimes this playing style made me want to strangle teammates in Nba 2k12 but when it works it feels rewarding.

          Use whatever works best for you. Everyone is different on this. I like the x button more...

            I use square button probably 80% of the time... any special shots including layups and dunks i use shot stick
            i always always always use square for set shots or drifting shots/fadeaways
            seems to work best for me
            also i think using the shot stick for layups helps draw more fouls...especially jump stop layups***
            I used to put important things here

              Stepback, floaters etc., I use the shot stick.

              Everything else I use the button.

                  I use X for setshots. Layups, pull-ups, fades, etc. I use the shot stick. It's all preference. One isn't better than the other.

                        Im like most of these people I just use the shot stick on all shots except set shots which I use the button for because its much easier.

                          Button for jumpers, Stick for lay-ups and dunks, floaters, post shots, etc. But I use the button for free throws. Anyone else do this? I find it alot more simple than using the stick.

                            I think near the rim shot stick draws more fouls... also when i press button i seem to get 4 ft jump shots when i want layups... its frustrating sometime

                              Shot stick FTs used to be down then up, but now its just 1 direction and the release... so basically the same thing now
                              also theres a ring that lights up when you're supposed to release for FTs which i didnt know until like 2 weeks ago lol
