again, the issue is timing/input delay/no feedback, not the types of shots....

Yeah, where is the live streams they were supposed to have?

Agreed, though it's handy to have a visual reference for some of the basic controls. I'd actually forgotten about bank shots.

L1+X, lead pass, it is your friend that hates you an appropriate portion of time

There's a trick, while shooting, hold the left stick towards the basket, kinda how you would for a fade away, you can get a more accurate shot that way!! If you're having trouble shooting threes, just try it, success rate goes up

[Patr1ck]

Sounds like a placebo to me.

What's the issue? It's super easy to nail the release in this game.

Got my 7-7 trophy with Battier of all people, have hit over 20 3's in a 5 min qtr game with Curry (hardest difficulty) and just today went on an 18-0 run in Ultimate Team all on 3's.

Had a quick game last night and couldn't seem to pull off bank shots or floaters. This is definitely where a free practice mode comes in handy.

Best I can tell, the release point on free throws is when the heels go up.

On jumpers, the release point seems to be when they flick their wrist.

[JaoSming]

pretty much on point with the FT heels thing, exceptions for Curry and Nash being quicker on my UT.

I never found that jumper hint helpful though. Too difficult to see and the replays of held-down jumpers never helped.
