Stick when grab and shoot or post fade. Button from anywhere in near. Works for NBA MT Coins me but it took a bit of practice. Is not it harder to select your layup if you use button? I've always struggled with those controls and utilized stick for layups. I swear I feel as though I have wasted $149 (Aussie dollars). I would really like to be shooting at 40% but I am lucky if I could hit 20%. I just play offline. I know we've scrub players right now, and I am a below average player but seriously even layups which are in the middle of the meter aren't going in. I don't even dare to try out a jump shooter. The AI seems to be ridiculous levels as well. I understand they want to reward ability in 2k21 however this type of material is going to truly put off casual gamers and people new the 2K franchise and new to basketball games.

I've been playing since 2K13 but I've never been that great of a player. I'd say I'm average, but I know I should not be missing all of these 3s. My starter players have never played with this bad in 2k16,17,18,19 and 20. The only other 2K I played 2K20 was 2K13 and which has been on PC. But this is a whole new level with a very different mechanic. I did fine in the demo and at the quickgames using the brand new shooting meter but can not hit the side of a barn here.

Only played the demo, but the stick was much more reliable than button to get me. I've been a button guy too. I have a 75 3 pointer, I think I greened one shooter in like 5 nba games. . . Genuinely shooting 2/16 within an offline triple hazard game on just layups and 1 open jumpshot that airballed on marginally early. Spent $100 for this bullshit lmao. Person that the shooting is extra fine right now but that I would recommend shot time like look for Cheap NBA 2K21 MT the que on the cartoon.

Yep I'm having trouble with it as well. Started a match on My group going 0/12 overlooking open 3s and midsize shots all over the area. I'm all for them toning down shots being nearly automatic but the system looks just a little bit too unforgiving up to now. Hopefully will start to get better after a few more matches of becoming used to it. The game just came out and we have ta new meter using slightly different time.
