Stick when catch and shoot or post fade. Button from NBA 2K21 MT anywhere in close. Works for me but it required a little practice. Isn't it harder to pick your layup in case you utilize button? I have always fought with those controls and utilized stick for layups. I would LOVE to be shooting 40% but I'm lucky if I can hit 20%. I just play offline. I understand we've scrub players at this time, and I am a below average player but seriously even layups which are in the middle of the meter are not going in. I do not even dare to try out a jump shooter. The AI seems to be ridiculous levels as well. I understand they wish to reward skill in 2k21 however this kind of stuff will really put off casual gamers and those new the 2K franchise and also brand new to basketball games.

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

Only played with the demo, but the stick was much more reliable than button for me. I've been a button guy also. I have a 75 3 pointer, I think I greened one shot like 5 nba games. . . Genuinely shooting 2/16 within an offline triple threat game on only layups and 1 open jumpshot which airballed on slightly early. Spent $100 with this bullshit lmao. Person that the shooting is additional nice right now but that I would advise shot timing like look for the que on the animation.

Yep I am having trouble with it as well. Started a match on My group heading 0/12 overlooking open 3s and midrange shots all over the place. I am all for Cheap MT 2K21 them toning shots being almost automatic but the machine looks a tiny bit too unforgiving so far. Hopefully will start to get better after a couple more matches of getting used to it. The game came out and we have ta brand new meter using slightly different timing.
