The R Stick shot contesting works, but I am still finding out the logic behind it. Obviously distance matters (and I believe it needs to be a bit adjusted because you need to be nearly standing on the shooters toes for good contests), but maybe you can help verify this with me. I am finding that, when guarding a shooter, if you hold the R Stick and stick with your man, it is like it raises the contest rating the longer you hold while engaged defensively (like it is filling up an invisible meter). Remember, just holding the R Stick will automatically contest a shot when it is taken. I've been holding the stick until the ball handler moves, then let go of the stick to keep footing, and hold the R Stick again when I feel appropriate. It seems to give better contest results.

As for the shot contest by tapping R Stick up? I find it mostly worthless. Per usual, it is laggy to perform, and the animation is locked leaving you stationed until the animation ends.
