its not a bad game .. but i think they are making BBall a bit too excessive with the controls,its like you have to do a street fighter move/combo just to get a shot now lol
THE TIP TO SWITCHING THE COLOUR TO RED IS SO SMART! That alone I can do! I'm pretty cruddy at the game so it will take a bit to get the dribble move mastered, but I kinda get it, get open, make the bar easier to see, practice the timing. I'm such a casual basketball fan and player of the game and I just want to be able to hit shots outside of the paint!
Thank you so much. I've been playing but getting blown out so was no fun. Could not hit a jumper let alone a 3 for nothing. Thank you again it helps a lot
The fact that this is a legit move...as in you can do it IRL....I love it. It's nice, because they're simple reads on the floor in terms of shot opportunity & spacing. Sorry, I don't have next gen. Great vid tho!
Thanks Sam my current 3point stat is 90+ my scoring average on Pro difficulty is 69%. In rec around 20% I struggle with speed boost players and switching side to side like in this video I can't keep up with them in rec they score 35 to 50 points against me every time. I only have 3 defence badges so very weak in that area.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights on this game, I’ve been meaning to get into this game for ages, and since the drop off of COD, I think this year I’ll be purchasing it… I really want to submerge myself into this game and along with that, learn to how master it. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@nannyschicken8903 I prob will cause like this shot meter has made me regret spending 70 dollars on this cause I can’t even play the way I want since I can’t hit a shot
Same I can’t make a single shot, with or without shot meter on, and they got defenders clamping u every step of the way even the ones who have D- perimeter Defense lolol 🤦🏻♂️
You really saved my ass with turning the meter color red. I was getting spanked 21-2. I won the last 2 out of 3 on triple threat my team is what I always play. Thanks a lot for the info tho. Definitely got a new subscriber here.
Bro thank you for this video, i just bought 2k22 last week and after watching this video i finally won my first game!! Lol i won with a buzzer beater in the last quarter 88-88 and i hit a 3 pointer!! I was happy!
Considering how 2k's server usually work, easy green shooting is a must. Imagine to be very difficult and the same time their famous servers lagging while on shooting.
its terrible bro. i have gigabit optics connected to PS5 through cable and it still lags like hell... i would love to enjoy the game online and earn those nice player rewards but this is just frustrating to play for me...
Wow, that color meter change tip, game changing. Really appreciate the nice editing and slow breakdown super helpful! Good stuff! Binging your channel right, love it. If you are looking for suggestions on NBA 2k22 I would love to see you do play calling breakdowns. Thanks for the great content!
Yeah I realized that the second I got the game and changed it to pink ASAP. No clue why 2K thought mixing yellow and yellowish white was a good idea for a shot meter
2k21's shot meter was their worst and most frustrating mechanic ever. It was too small, you had to sit right up on the TV to even see it. It vanished to quickly, the fact that you had to press L2/LT to lock the needle in. Even worse I downloaded 2k21 on my console and after about 6 months of playing it or so. All of a sudden the shot meter broke or got bugged or something to where; every time I activated a shot and the meter popped up, the starting position for the aiming needle would be either far right or far left. Forcing me to jerk the RS to align the needle as oppose to pushing it softly and hoping it lands in between the blocks. It was not relative to what side of the court you where shooting from either, that's how I now it was a bug. Unless the player I was controll had 85+ Mid rating or 85+ 3pt rating, that made it virtually impossible to make jumpers outside the paint even it I was wide open. I tried to play 2k21 for about another 2 or 3 months and it never got fixed so I just gave up and went back to playing 2k20. 2k should never again stray away from the vertical meter or just holding down the shot stick until the player reaches the peak or "CROWN" (as I call it) of their shooting animation. This is the most efficient way to shoot. IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!.
I am having trouble transitioning from the dribble moves to running to past the screen and getting the stepback animation I keep messing up and my player just stops and stand there with the ball in his hands
I'm just fine shooting without the shot meter, but I need to see the timing for corrections. The shot meter just distracts too much because of its placement. The problem is that when I turn off the shot meter the timing just disappears after 2/4. The old shot meter above the player was way better, but I really like playing without it and because some bug that will never be fixed I can't.....or do I need to install the game again?
i cant use currys signiture moves in some of the categories for example the step back. hes just not listed. because of season 3 now? who to use instead?
So can you do Steph’s move with the L2 step back where he does that and acts like he’s gonna shoot and then drives - kinda like how he did the Clippers and Gobert those different times?
Just want to ask, I’m on career mode doing the combine and not one of my shots have went in, doesn’t matter how close I get to perfect it’s always early or late is this down to my stats or just how it works
I grew up playing NBA live , it's night and day from 2k . The shooting is so complex for me and I do not understand why the shooting play is the most difficult beside off the ball defense .

Bro, you are a lifesaver, I'm over here struggling on open shots.

I can’t shoot for shit
Me too
That’s why I finish but still miss😔💀

Taking the fun out of gaming
Fr I miss when the controls were simple
@@sayersaveRED I find the new shooting better than what it was.
Making something more complex and not casualizing it's rare these days. Props to 2k
Facts i only copped the game for the Harden Simmons trade and didnt know the shot is so off
I see it both ways.
I’ve been waiting on this I’m having trouble getting open for shots, they are sticking to me like glue lol
Against this there’s no way they can anymore lol
Pause
Sup Dom! Nice to see u here
Got a new dribble move video out today you can use to get pass glue like defenders with much more ease. Check it out !

this is probably the most distinctive tutorial i’ve ever seen owning 22 since the launch. thank you!
This tutorial is among the best I've seen for not just 2k, but for anything that is explained. Extremely well done and researched. Excellent video
Literally just practicing like 30 min and changing shot meter to red helped tremendously
been having trouble shooting, just turned it to red and started blowing people out. Crazy a color change does the trick! thank you!
Yes, is a small thing but makes a huge difference for visual prompt purposes.

playing the college natty bricking so hard ty bro
Nice. Haven't bought or played a 2k game since 2k17. And when I picked this up I was having a difficult time time with greening a shot.
Haven't played since 2k15 them 360 and ps3 days💀💀
me too 2k17 was so fun i could actually shoot
Thank you it was so hard to make shots now i dont miss close 3s and 2
I’m realising the shot at the black line and after I let go it continued to fill up till very late how do I stop this?

Bro thank you l’ve been really dog shit at shooting but now l hit most of my shots
Ya the step back helps have your dribble up a bit guy that can shoot and even screening I do it a lot you get free
I personally use purple so that’s there’s enough contrast to the white meter but it dosnt blot out the line
Try turning it off. It starts to become an animation thing and you can get the timing down.
There is no purple?
i cant use currys signiture moves in some of the categories for example the step back. hes just not listed. because of season 3 now? who to use instead?
I have a question, do I need to release the momentum on the line for a perfect green release or a great shot??
Bro, I love how u explained everything step by step. I just got 2k22 so having trouble
Hey does these same things still apply after the patches?
How do u see what move ur player has like the step back? Can any player do that move?
do you time it on the black line or where the meter stops
What do you have to have your 3 point shot at? I’m at 70 and got the red bar and still not close lol, any more tips appreciated
Thanks man!

When you do the step back don’t shoot. Once you let go of all controls, just drive instead of shooting
Change your meter to red it helped me a lot
what animation do i need to buy for curry slide?
