Shot stick or shoot button?

With the dribble control stick being implemented this year which method are you guys using to shoot? I find myself using the shoot button (square on ps3) just cause having to press L2 with the shot stick doesn't seem all that fluid for me. I use to always shoot with the shot stick in past games but this year shooting with the button works better with the new control stick imo.

Depends, I tend to use the button when shooting open 3s or going for a dunk, and the stick when I'm breaking my man down or when I'm going for a lay up... And I use both for different situations in the post..

It does feel unnatural using LT +right stick to shoot. I don't know why they didn't just leave the dribbling skill moves with LT + left stick and the right stick to shoot. It was much easier to control that way.

I started out using X on xbox but now I'm using the right stick after changing it in the control settings.

Shot stick unless I'm a foot from the rim, then I use the button.

I'm using the shoot button in every scenario, except for in the post. Sucks tho because sometimes I'll set up a nice pick n roll and flick the stick, instead of actually shooting.

Re: Shot stick or shoot button?

weird but all of a sudden my hands are now adapted to holding the LT now when i shoot..so weird how the muscle memory works with the human body....Man i was so mad two days ago about the control, now im right at home with it.

Now that i have learned this new way of shooting, i can no longer go back..
