Is there a difference in perimeter "makes" with Shot-Stick vs Button?

I'm doing a project where i'm alternating each input method for a half....but i'd like to see what the Community is noticing as well...are you guys seeing a difference?

The game give you a boost in the make percentage on a shot of you use the shot stick but only if you aim it correctly if you are off by more than ~10 degrees in your aim you actually get a penalty and ~15 degrees is a severe penalty. The button now I believe is neither a boost nor a punishment I believe a few patches ago it actually gave you a penalty for using the button opposed to the stuck but that was changed to be neutral after poor community response to it.

Understood. What about current gameplay? What's your experience?

I've made comments on this before, but I'll share them here. Personally, I've been mostly a shot stick. However, I've switched to the button for jumpsuits this year, because I can't get the hang of the aiming consistently. It's probably more about thumb placement than anything else, but I can't push straight down that well. It's so weird to focus on it when I've played sooooooo many games where it's never been a penalty. It was out frustration for why I switched to the button. Honestly, I hope that they remove it or give us option on whether or not to use it.

I'm just trying to make sure i understand...remove which part exactly? The aiming part?

You can also aim to the left right or up. I find it to be more comfortable and accurate for me than down

The aiming part, correct. They could give us a way to "calibrate" the stick too.

I get it....did you use the button at any time in 2K17?
