2K17 Shooting

[T_M3]

I've read a couple of articles about 2k17, and they talk about shooting with the right stick and how you have to pull it straight back to get your shot on target, compared to this year where you could pull the right stick on an angle and your shot would still be on target as long as you timed the release.

My question is "What if you mainly use the button to shoot?". In 2k16 I shot nearly all of my jump shots with the button, only using the stick around the hoop, to finnish with the hand I wanted to avoid the block for example.
Since they have made shooting with the stick more difficult , I am wondering how will the shooting with the button be different, any ideas?

Shooting with the analog must provide a boost. Its the only thing that would make sense

I think the wording is a little misleading.

That's the only thing that I can think of.

I don't think there will be some kind of added advantage ("boost") if you use the stick. I think it's just for offline gaming for people who like a challenge this adds a new thing you can learn to master. Might be fun actually.

Online (or offline against another human) it will only hurt your chances using the stick on a simple jumpshot instead of the button.

So, it adds a new dimension to shooting if you want to use it. In a competitive game you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Just my take.

Actually on yesterdays stream, Ronnie confirmed there is an advantage to using the stick. You will get a boost from it.

Kids going to not be able to turbo around all game, and either have to now aim with shot stick, or not get a boost with a nerfed shot button.

90% of the people I have ever known that play 2k use the button to shoot.

Complaints are going to be a plenty.

Love it. Been using the stuck only since 2k9.

true they have to disable X/Square for jumpshots imo.
