Shot Button vs. Shot Stick

I know a thread was made about this back in Sept., but I wanted to get an update from people to see what they settled on. This may impact what we do going forward, so feel free to explain your vote. Thanks.

I personnaly use shot stick for everything. Just makes more sense to me.

Shot stick all the way

I'm afraid to try the shot stick, so I just use square.

Both. I use the shot stick for jumpers mostly, on drives I tend to use shot buttons. I do this mostly because with the shot stick on drives it seems like the game makes me involuntarily change my shot even though I haven't adjusted the stick at all. Also, it feels like the player goes up stronger in the paint with shot buttons than they do with the shot stick. I forgot to mention that button responsiveness is another reason I tend to steer more towards the shot stick.

I believe I've always been a button pressing spot-up shooter. However, through 2K11 and 2K12, I began using the shot stick more and more to initiate drifters, spin jumpers, and dream shakes. In 2K13, I've gone back toward button reliance. I've had a tougher time pulling off drifters on command via shot stick this year, for whatever reason.

I believe I've also gone more toward button reliance on drives than I have in years past. I think my larger use of the button is due to my initial discomfort with having to hold L1 in order to shoot with the shot stick. Now I've just grown used to often tapping a face button to initiate a result. That said, I still use the right stick at times for those moves too (Ex: Euro-step). I'm pretty much all over the place.

Shot stick all the way. Feels more realistic. More control in the post and it feels easier to do all the stepbacks and escape jumpshots
