Stick when catch and take or post fade. Button from anywhere in NBA 2K21 MT Coins near. Works for me but it required a bit of practice. Isn't it harder to pick your layup in case you utilize button? I've always fought with those controls and used stick for layups. I'd LOVE to be shooting at 40% but I'm lucky if I can hit 20%. I only play offline. I understand we've scrub players at this time, and I am a below average player but badly even layups which are in the center of the meter are not going in. I do not even dare to try a jump shooter. The AI appears to be ridiculous levels too. I know they wish to reward skill in 2k21 but this type of material will really put off casual players and people new the 2K franchise and also brand new to basketball matches.

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

Only played with the demo, but the stick was much more dependable than button to get me. I have been a button guy also. . Mostly wide open shots... and this was on allstar not even thinking to go at the rec center. . Genuinely shooting 2/16 in an offline triple threat game on just layups and 1 open jumpshot which airballed on slightly early. Spent $100 with this bullshit lmao. Man the shooting is extra fine right now but I would advise shot time like look for the que on the cartoon.

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