NBA 2K9 Screenshots: Association 2.0 & More (Gamespot)

If you've been down with 2k since the jump, then the shot stick is mandatory. No questions asked. The shoot button is for rooks.

I can never get the jumpshot timing down with the shotstick. My shooting percentage drops like 20% .

I remember telling myself that I'd only use the shotstick for shooting when I had 2K6, only to never win an online game and shoot 30% for the whole year.

I just suck at it.

That don't even make sense. People who use the shoot button generally are people who have been playing games for a long time since it's what they're used to. Why would they change their style unless it adds some kind of incentive? Button for shoot, shot stick for layups, dunks, post moves, and floaters.

I disagree. I've been playing 2k since about 03, and I still use X to take my jump shots. I use the stick for layups and dunks, but I don't like using it for jumpers.
