I wrote about shooting in another Insight. Should be released in a couple weeks.

Looking forward to that insight, I really don't want to purposely drift left or right anymore. Purposely making the shot difficult just to make it look realistic, was I the only one who constantly did it for no reason?

Wow. I can't believe they never thought of this before. It should definitely allow you to pick your play during the timeout. The play, who inbounds, who the 1st option is etc.

It's much better then the system now where you have like 5 seconds to pick an inbound play and hope for the best before you get called for a violation.

I've lost games like that...My friends sit there and think they played the great inbound defense of all time....SMH..But this has been a problem for the last 2-3 years.

It took me getting on you to put it in for defense, and you leaving and coming back for it to finally get in for offense.

Damn it, this was all part of your master plan all along.

Exactly. Maybe it's the roster...
