Right Stick Shooting

Just wondering if you still get any advantage by using the right stick for jumpers and free throws.

Re: Right Stick Shooting

feels like it. I make more using the stick then using the button that is for sure, especially on free throws.

I don't know, however I prefer using the right stick, it just feels more realistic, to me. So even if there was no advantage I would still use it.

Re: Right Stick Shooting

CONFIRMED. Tested this myself...I think its ridiculous that gameplay is favoring one input over the other but that's the world we live in.....

MADE THE SWITCH IN 2K18.

Are you sure? I have to search, but I thought Belbua stated they completely took that out for 2K18.

Positive....maybe its not something punitive vs the button this year--maybe its just that the shot-stick design is more forgiving. But I convert a much higher percentage of my open shots and perimeter shots overall with the shot-stick.

I lost like two in a row and just decided to try it. I know there's a lot of placebo on OS...stuff like "Did 2K stealth patch the game? i'm shooter better/worse" 😂😂 notice I never chime in on those. It's higher percentage...TRUST.

Re: Right Stick Shooting

Whenever I try to use this stick this year, the shooter does a hop step jumper that is incredibly hard to time. Anyone having the same issue?
