what is the white flashing light under a jump shot?

[neil30]

i play on real fg% so im not sure if it is something to do with this or not....

but when i take a jump shot, a quick white flash will appear which seems to indicate a 'sweet spot' maybe?

That's when you should release the ball but since you play with real % it shoudln't matter. And it's kind of innacurate anyway.

yea it is the release timing for a shot, i feel like you aren't supposed to time it as it flashes though but right after that moment. or maybe thats just my weird way of timing it

i hate it. it distracts me from watching the actual follow through.

Yeah, I believe it is right after that flash is when it makes it the most for me. I only look at that when I can't get someone's release normally. It does get distracting though, lol.

it doesnt shot when to release. only when the feet leave the ground does it flash

[jnott8]

It says in the instructions it flashes at the point when to release...

my problem is why are they putting " hand holding " mechanic in 2k12? will this be a growing trend to lower the complexity of the game?
