For NBA 2K21, if you shoot with the Pro Stick, the 2K21 MT shooter meter changes from a time consuming bar to a targeting system. So rather than trying when you get to the perfect release window to stop the shot meter, you adjust the Guru Stick in real time to hit on the ideal centre aim point. The target window may shift to the left or right based on the degree of difficulty of the shot and resizes dynamically based on player ability, shooting selection, and the shooter is contested. Your shot will overlook in that way, if you miss the goal too much to the left or right.
And as I mentioned above with the new slider places, even the slightest degree may be the distinction between a make and also an airball on Hall of Fame, while it's quite a bit more forgiving on the easier issues. You will not be penalized for using the whole movement to find the sweet spot. To put it differently, when you are shooting with the Guru Stick you don't have to time your release. But if you would like to take it to another level and know your release, you can lock on your time and aim by either centering the Pro Stick or simply by tapping one of the triggers when you reach the apex of the shooter. The lock will be signaled by a flash on the shot meter.
The aiming theory also applies to completing layups, replicating the idea of having"good touch" round the rim. As you're driving you can hold the Pro Stick in any direction to start a layup, but this year, you'll want to quickly swing the rod to move the aiming tick to the center of the goal. Aiming layups can help conquer shot contests and assist you finish through contact. Personally, it's been hard for me to return to the Shot Button after becoming used to Guru Stick shooting. And because shooting the stick offers a little more complexity than just holding and releasing a button, it also conveys a larger risk/reward.
If it's possible to master shooting together with the Guru Stick, then you will get a higher ceiling for accessing greens and making tough shots, so I'm pretty sure it is going to be the injection method of choice for many competitive 2K players. But because I know some will ask... yes, there's an choice to disable Shot Aiming if you truly wish to return to last year's controllers. On the shooting animation side, you can expect various new shot types, such as Harden's unique 1-foot running fadeaway. And a quick note for all the Park gamers... we've added over 40 fresh Park Jump Shot Landings for you to show off with when you hit from out.
Last year we introduced signature dribble styles, which gave Magic Johnson his unique upcourt waddle, Steve Nash's finger licks, and much more. This update has now made its way onto the defensive end using touch defensive movement fashions. Along with this, movement has experienced several refinements, both with the Buy MT 2K21 ball and without, to provide a more consistent and more responsive feel on the sticks.
