This assumes too much. For some people shooting just feels better and yields better results for them when they use the face button. Has nothing to do with not wanting to learn. I've played a number of people who can hit every move they need with the sticks but when it comes to the jumpshot they like sliding over to the button.

These all or nothing characterizations I've seen on this front recently are counterproductive and straight up don't apply to anywhere near the degree people are claiming.

I can work with that.

Moving shots would be performed with right stick in 16 and I would hold the tight stick left or right or even diagonally to get a different moving shot: is that still possible?

Will a shot stick directed left or right or diagonal in the process of moving still generate a unique moving shot? Or is it up and down exclusively? Down while moving will currently give you a Stepback...

The main thing for me is that the release of the button / stick should result in an immediate release of the ball (-> responsiveness) which isnt the case in 16.

Definitely looks better thanks man! Glad to see them stopping on a dime and now taking 2-3 more steps and ruining the transition 3. Plus I heard they worked on the pull up jumpers so I'm sure that all correlates. I'm definitely happy to see that!

I can... but I won't.

I'll just say, the potential boost is significant enough to warrant trying it out.

I've seen in one of the leaked videos that Kyrie made a great pullup with silky smooth movement from dribbling to shot and bulls eye. So it's clear pullups will feel and should feel second nature now. And thanks Mike as always for steping by. What a guy!

Lateral stepback jumpers and hop shots are now exclusively done by tapping the Shot Button. So pulling down on the Pro Stick while moving will always give you a normal pullup even if you're driving across the lane (in 2K cam.)

The Pro Stick will only choose unique shot types when inside the paint (hence don't require aiming)... floaters, layups, post shots, etc.

So if you're running to the corner for a 3, it would be better to use the Pro Stick to pull up and shoot the 3, rather then the shoot button as you may have a chance of it being a fadeaway or leaning jump shot?
