[@CoreyBrown-r3p]

Im a little surprised people are having issues. I been playing the last 3 years and I only had a slight issue because the meter was different. With or without the meter I just played like it's been set up and release the toggle or the button when the ball is at the natural release point which is generally different for most players. I know there's more reward for a green window using the thumbstick so I tend to use it more often but sometimes use the button if I'm trying to do a quick step back and fire a 3. It's a slower release using the stick slightly. Unless you can modify that in the settings without it changing the way it shoots overall, can you? ​@@BlaqKobra13

[@BlaqKobra13]

@@CoreyBrown-r3p Im not sure but I've given the stick shooting a fair chance for a month. While I was able to learn it, it's just not natural for me, so I use the button.

[@CoreyBrown-r3p]

@BlaqKobra13 I honestly think I made just as many shots with the button than the stick but according to everyone it's supposed to be better. I'm giving it a chance but at the end of the day I did just fine with the button. The most important thing is being open. You don't need to green a shot if you're open but with the button I greened it more than I didn't anyway. A lot of people think you can just shoot and it's fine but if you are open it's damn near a guarantee that you'll make it with a decent shot. I'd like to work on making plays more. I basically just hold l1 and get someone to defend me and either run around him or move to the side for the 3 if I'm having problems getting open playing spontaneously without playmaking I know learning plays would raise the odds of success.

[@blAZinSports4k]

When release speed is slow, it still takes a long time for the animation to complete, regardless of where your visual cue is. So, you could be getting blocked alot with a slow release speed even tho you've got visual cue where it's at..... Does seem like a fast shot is easier to make tho, much better rhythm

[@BlaqKobra13]

@@blAZinSports4k That is true, the speed of your animation remains the same. I've not had any issues getting blocked through. Mostly Tight/Light Pressure makes.

[@blAZinSports4k]

@@BlaqKobra13 I wonder if having a visual cue like that avoids getting contested more than a later visual cue though 🤔 since even a 'light contest' slows down your shot speed, (2KTutes proves this) maybe getting that shot meter completed sooner makes it more difficult for a defender to affect the shot, since they won't necessarily have time to slow your shot down..... we need Tutes to test that one 😆

[@BlaqKobra13]

@@blAZinSports4k I would assume the logic behind it is if your green window is early in your shot (like mine) then contests generally register AFTER I already hit my window. As opposed to having to reach my window while being contested of my green window is later in my animation (Push/Release)
