Zigzag cheese is gone. We specifically put in other measures to counter it.

The meter is active for all manually releasable shots, including post jumpers. But not layups. My shots engineer and I experimented with it and decided the world is not ready for that.

Thank goodness. This was a cheesers go to strategy, and there was really nothing we could do to stop it if we are dedicated on-ball defenders online having to fight against lag.

Also, the shot meter works in online games but the results you get from timing error are tuned differently from offline to compensate for latency. Online, releasing very early/late is much more forgiving than it is offline.

Can't remember which one it was but I remember the "why do I keep missing layups" complaints on the forums..... touche'

On your twitter you mentioned that shot fatigue also results from pounding the ball in the paint. Is this due to contact from driving in the paint?

If so, for guys who get most of their money in the paint like Lebron, Wade, etc. do they fatigue at a lesser rate when driving in the paint than guys who drive less often like Carmelo and Durant?
