So I think it's better to make green releases more rare, but be more consistent with the outcome when you do get them. TBH, I wish I never introduced green releases at all.

Meter should be off by default

Its a crutch for people IMO.

Or be only for free throws.

Which is confirmed to be a setting they added this year!

Any word on the freelance offenses. Yet? Very interested in learning more and seeing what the new ones are about.

This is perfect. I tried turning off the meter last year but three throws were what left me needing it on.

Great post. This is exactly what I'm referring to. It may be an issue with 12 minute quarters against the CPU. I do not play on-line so I'm not sure if it effects the 6 mins quarters.

You can move your thumb up to CROSS or A pretty easily from the Pro Stick.

Yeah, you can turn it off. We almost shipped with it off this year, but too many shot meter addicts in house now.

Mike, is the shot creator just for MyCAREER or is it available for normal player editing on the standard rosters?
