How can you possibly play the 3 point contest? It's broken in NG

You can never time your shot correctly. It goes into the zone of the ball icon and it will still hilariously miss. You cannot fricking run to the next rack despite spamming EVERY SINGLE BUTTON ON THE CONTROLLER.

I can never finish the racks comfortably and I'm always running out of time. Any tips for playing it properly?

Also if you go with Joe Johnson or Batum you can't even hit the basketball meter thing..

People said it was broken last year too but it was mostly a case of patience and learning the controls. If you took your time to actually learn how it worked then it worked pretty well.

I was so excited to be chosen for the 3 point contest my rookie year... And then I played it. Wow. Terrible awkward controls. Are you supposed to hit square to initiate the shot motion and then hit it again to stop in the ball? I didn't play last years game so this is the first time I'm seeing this terribly awkward setup.

How about the competition scoring 26/30.... ?

I can only laugh at the failure of 3 point contest and dunk contest.

All star weekend has always been the most under improved and utilized mode in 2K. I think a solid all star weekend as a whole could be awesome if they would actually fix this buggy crap
