Stick when grab and shoot or post disappear. Button from anywhere in close. Works for me but it took a bit of practice. Isn't it harder to select your layup in case you utilize button? I've always struggled with those controls and utilized stick for NBA 2K21 MT Coins layups. I would LOVE to be shooting at 40% but I am blessed if I could hit 20%. I just play offline. I know we have scrub players right now, and I am a below average player but seriously even layups which are in the center of the meter are not going in. I do not even dare to try a jump shot. The AI appears to be absurd levels as well. I know they want to reward ability in 2k21 but this kind of material will really put off casual gamers and people new the 2K franchise and new to basketball matches.

I've been playing since 2K13 but I've never been that great of a participant. My starter players've never played this bad in 2k16,17,18,19 and 20. The only other 2K I played before 2K20 was 2K13 and which has been on PC. But this is a completely different level using a completely different mechanic. I did fine at the demonstration and at the quickgames with the new shooting meter but can't hit the side of a barn .

Only played the demo, however, the stick was much more reliable than button to get me. I have always been a button man also. . Mostly wide open shots... and this was on allstar not even thinking to go in the rec centre. . Genuinely shooting 2/16 within an offline triple hazard 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 recommend shot time like appearance for the que on the animation.

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