Yeah, turning off the meter just turns off the visuals. If you don't want to play with shot timing at all, you need to change Shooting Type from User Timing to Real Player % in the Settings menu.

So the defensive stance is automatic this year? Holding LT will exactly do what this year?

Beluba...I have 2 questions and they are short and sweet..
When u pump fake a standing shot like say a 3...will we be able to get the shot off without seeing the player run into me and just call a foul?
Second one is kinda simple...let's say same situation but after the pump fake can we sidestep to a side like steph and klay do ? Hope it all makes sense

How are step back shots performed this year, now that the right stick deflection direction is used for shot accuracy? Are context sensitive directional jumpshots still a thing?

Stepback jumpers are done by tapping the Shot Button. Same with spin jumpers (Sprint+double tap).

That's huge. Well done.

You use the Left Stick to improve your positioning. Push toward the other guy to push him out of position, left or right to swim around that way when you're boxed out.

Which is why I believe it should have stayed the way it was. Back then I barely heard people talking about missing greens.
