I'd guess the move away from cursors and crosshairs was to make free throws a little more natural as opposed to feeling like a mini-game. They're fun nostalgia for me, but I certainly prefer the modern technique. I have a lot memories of frustration with the 2K system (try to center, try to center, CENTERED!, crap lost it, try to center, try to center...)
