Cant shoot
Hey all. Can anyone help me understand the shooting mechanic? Whenever i attempt to shoot 3 points the shot falls short... Even though i watch the shot meter. Thanks.

If you are using the right stick to shoot and the stick isnt straight it does affect the angle of the shot not to mention if your 3 point attribute is low enough you can chuck air balls.

I am using the right stick. What do you mean "straight"? I push it to left/right to initiate a shot and then release to shoot.

That is what I am talking about, you should be doing it vertical meaning up or down.

Just use the button for shots, you will find it far more consistant.

absolutely this. even the slightest deviation is liable to earn you an airball. you could feel that you're spot-on, when in reality the shot feedback will tell you you're like 30 degrees off target.

What I've started doing was completely ignore the shot meter and just watch the animation...I went from missing half the shots with a full bar to hitting most shots regardless of how full the bar is. Is you understand shot dynamics and you can see when someone with a particular jumpshot would release the ball it should work for you as well. Even more helpful with the free throws...I was actually missing about 25% FT with GREEN release...ridiculous.

Do you release the shot stick at once or gradually? (Hope i'm clear)
