The shot meter is my bread and butter in NBA 2K17 -- I will not tell a lie.
In fact, I admittedly am probably
too reliant upon it.
But as
Coach2K on YouTube points out in the video above -- you don't have to use the shot meter to be successful in
NBA 2K17.
Why would you not use the shot meter? A couple of potential reasons come up. First, if the shot meter is tweaked for less green releases you aren't going to be affected by those changes. Second, you'll be more focused on the on-court action than if you are constantly looking at your shot meter.
The visual feedback you get from your shots will tell you if you are releasing too early or too late -- and from there you'll be able to adjust your shot releases.
Check out the video and let us know if you are one of the adventurous types playing NBA 2K17 without the shot meter on!
