So what do all these heiroglyphics mean when I shoot the ball?

topic. Obviously I know they reflect my execution and timing in various things, but what do they actually mean? What do the three sections refer to? I just can't decode this strange and ancient language.

Timing(early,on time or late release), range and defensive pressure when you start your shot.

"Range" as in distance from the hoop when I press the button?

Contacting him should be easy. I'm sure he's standing outside the 2K building letting everyone know he 'executive produced' it.

Yeah. When it's green you're within your range, yellow is when you're at the edge of your range and red is when you're out of your range. As your stamina decreases so does your range.

Shot timing, Shot feedback

The first one with the shooter is whether the ball is blocking your vision(front of head), out of your vision (behind head) or just above the head, which is the correct positioning.

The seconds one is how hard you are shooting the ball relative to your distance from the basket.

The third one is whether your hands are on the ball correctly, affecting the trajectory and spin of the ball. Proper thumb placement on the stick is crucial here.

The letter grade depends on your effort. You are given higher grades by your teachers if you play well, so that you can continue playing on the team so they have a better chance of winning.

the second is not strictly "range", but it's more if your taking "your shot" according to the player's ratings and hot zones. Excellent 3pt shooters could have it yellow/red when they shoot mid-range or close to the basket

One more question. I notice this range thing is causing me to miss a lot of my shots late in the game when I'm fatigued (in MyCareer, so I have no control over rotation).

Is there any way to increase my range directly? Or is my best bet just increasing stamina to minimize this effect?
