Shooting meter on or off

[COMMISSIONERHBK9]

Hey guys im wondering is everyone using the shot meter or are people turning it off and only using it for free throws. If you aren’t using the shot meter do you have any tips on when to release the ball. I ask because shot meter is pissing me off. I put it right at the line and still miss and its getting annoying

I have it off, even for FTs... to me the key is learn the release in practice (using shooting feedback) but basically my rule is looking to the animation and release when the players do the last flick of the wrist...

I have it off for everything. I don't like having too much extra stuff on the screen as it takes me out of the experience just a bit. I wish I could turn green indicators off as well, just because I don't like knowing I made a shot before it's even gone in. I do have the shot feedback on, but that's about it.



The only tip I can give, other than go into practice mode and get used to your team's shooting forms, is to release the ball when the player begins his forward flick motion. If you wait for when the ball is coming out of his hand, you're probably going to be late.

I have it off entirely. I think the added “boost” to make shots helps and the fact I learn a player’s release pretty quick.

Is the boost for turning off the shot meter legit?

I've turned mine off this year. I still leave it on for free throws, but I've turned the shot meter off for regular play. I normally play with the shot meter on through years past, but the meter seems really bad this year. I couldn't get anything to drop, so I dropped the shot meter and improved my shooting to 14%...

You can turn off the green splash animations this year. Its under controller settings

I have never even attempted the shot meter nor will I ever. Talk about immersion killer. I don’t know how people play that mini game? I just learn my players releases.

off....release at the top of the jump or like other posters said, as the shooter is just about to bring the ball forward to release
